Alumina-carbon brick for refining steel ladle walls and its preparation process

By introducing oxide composite powder and silicon carbide-based composite powder into aluminum-carbon bricks, liquid iron is fixed, solving the problem of brick erosion caused by the re-oxidation of liquid iron. This improves the high-temperature flexural strength and thermal shock resistance of aluminum-carbon bricks, extending their service life.

AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During use, the aluminum-carbon bricks used for the walls of refining steel ladles suffer from rapid erosion due to the penetration of ferrous oxide, which reacts with the carbon in the bricks in a carbothermic reduction reaction to produce liquid iron. The liquid iron is then re-oxidized back to ferrous oxide and penetrates deeper, causing the bricks to continuously erode and fail quickly.

Method used

Alumina-carbon bricks are prepared using specific components and processes, including tabular corundum aggregate, oxide composite powder, silicon carbide-based composite powder, and lanthanum-hafnium composite oxide nanoparticles. By accelerating the reduction reaction of ferrous oxide on the surface of the brick and fixing liquid iron, deep erosion by ferrous oxide is prevented.

Benefits of technology

It effectively prevents ferrous oxide from penetrating into the brick body, extends the service life of the brick, improves high-temperature flexural strength and thermal shock resistance, and meets the requirements of long-term high-intensity service.

Abstract

This invention relates to the field of refractory materials technology, specifically to an alumina-carbon brick for refining steel ladle walls and its preparation process. The brick comprises tabular corundum aggregate, α-alumina micro powder, flake graphite, oxide composite powder, silicon carbide-based composite powder, lanthanum-hafnium composite oxide nanoparticles, metallic aluminum powder, carbon black, and thermosetting phenolic resin. This invention accelerates the reduction reaction of ferrous oxide on the brick surface using oxide composite powder, ensuring that it is rapidly consumed by carbon within a very shallow layer in contact with the brick surface, preventing ferrous oxide from penetrating into the brick's interior. The silicon carbide-based composite powder fixes the liquid iron obtained from surface reduction in situ, preventing it from flowing freely and re-contacting the refining slag. The lanthanum-hafnium composite oxide nanoparticles enhance structural stability, resulting in a brick that better meets the long-term, high-strength service requirements of refining steel ladle walls.
