Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of ceramic composite magnesium refractory bricks, specifically relating to an erosion-resistant ceramic-magnesium-based composite refractory brick and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] The performance of refractory materials directly determines the service life, operational safety, and economic benefits of high-temperature industrial kilns. Among them, refractory bricks, as the most traditional and widely used form, play an indispensable role in fields such as steel, cement, glass, and non-ferrous metal smelting. Ceramic materials and magnesia materials are the two core systems constituting high-performance refractory bricks.
[0003] Ceramic refractory bricks primarily use non-oxide or oxide ceramics such as alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide, and silicon nitride as raw materials. The core advantages of these materials lie in their excellent high-temperature resistance, extremely high hardness, and superior chemical stability. For example, high-alumina bricks exhibit good resistance to acidic slag erosion and high-temperature strength; zirconia bricks, thanks to their phase transformation toughening effect, demonstrate excellent thermal shock resistance and slag erosion resistance; while silicon carbide refractories are renowned for their high thermal conductivity, wear resistance, and erosion resistance, and are widely used in harsh environments such as blast furnace tapping troughs and aluminum electrolysis cells. However, traditional single-phase or simple multiphase ceramic refractory bricks are not without flaws. First, most ceramic materials, especially oxide ceramics, have a high coefficient of thermal expansion, resulting in generally poor thermal shock resistance. Under drastic temperature fluctuations during kiln heating and cooling, they are prone to cracking and even spalling, severely affecting their service life. Second, although ceramic materials have high hardness, they are typically brittle, easily subject to surface wear and material loss due to erosion.
[0004] Magnesia refractories are alkaline refractories with magnesium oxide as the main component. Their most prominent advantage is their extremely strong resistance to alkaline slag and iron oxide erosion, making magnesia bricks, magnesia-chrome bricks, and magnesia-carbon bricks the preferred materials for key components such as steelmaking converters, ladles, and cement rotary kiln firing zones. Magnesia-carbon bricks, in particular, by introducing graphite into magnesia, utilize graphite's low thermal conductivity, excellent lubricity, and slag penetration resistance to significantly improve the material's thermal shock resistance and erosion resistance, giving them a dominant position in the modern steel industry. However, magnesia refractories also face severe performance challenges. The primary problem lies in their poor hydration resistance. Magnesia oxide is a strong alkaline oxide that readily reacts with moisture in the air to form magnesium hydroxide, leading to brick pulverization, reduced strength, and severely impacting their storage, transportation, and performance. Secondly, traditional magnesia materials have relatively low high-temperature strength and are prone to creep deformation at high temperatures. In high-speed flowing molten slag, liquid metal, or dusty gas streams, magnesia refractories lack sufficient wear resistance and erosion resistance. Especially for magnesia-carbon bricks with high graphite content, the presence of the graphite phase brings many benefits, but it also makes them more susceptible to wear when subjected to high-speed erosion, leading to damage to the surface structure of the brick and thus accelerating the erosion and penetration of slag.
[0005] Both ceramic-based and magnesia-based refractory bricks have their own shortcomings when facing increasingly demanding modern industrial smelting conditions, especially in terms of insufficient resistance to erosion and abrasion. Existing single-system refractory bricks cannot perfectly meet all performance requirements. Ceramic bricks are wear-resistant but may not be resistant to alkali slag erosion or have poor thermal shock resistance; magnesia bricks have strong resistance to alkali slag erosion, but their wear resistance and erosion resistance need to be improved.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to develop new composite refractory bricks that combine the high hardness and high wear resistance of ceramic materials with the strong resistance to alkaline slag erosion of magnesia materials, in order to meet the modern high-temperature industry's demand for "long life, high efficiency and stability" of refractory materials. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The present invention provides an erosion-resistant ceramic-magnesium composite refractory brick and its preparation method, which have the following beneficial effects:
[0026] I. This invention overcomes the performance limitations of traditional single-system refractory bricks through a multi-phase synergistic design involving ceramic phase, magnesium-based phase, functional intermediates, and composite additives. It achieves a comprehensive and balanced improvement in hardness, wear resistance, erosion resistance, thermal shock resistance, and hydration resistance. Its core advantage lies in precisely matching the demanding operating conditions of high-temperature industrial kilns. It leverages the high hardness and wear resistance of ceramic materials while relying on the strong resistance to alkaline slag erosion of magnesium-based materials. Furthermore, by developing modified intermediates and composite additives, it solves key technical challenges such as interfacial compatibility and hydration degradation. Ultimately, it yields long-life, high-efficiency, and stable composite refractory bricks, extending the service life of high-temperature kilns, reducing operation and maintenance costs, and ensuring the continuity and safety of industrial production.
[0027] II. This invention utilizes tabular corundum particles, micron-sized alumina, and ZrO2@SiC whiskers to synthesize a ceramic composite material. The tabular corundum particles, with their high density and hardness, form the rigid framework of the refractory brick, providing fundamental mechanical support and a wear-resistant substrate. Their unique lamellar structure enhances the interlocking between particles, improving the overall structural stability of the brick. Micron-sized alumina with an α / γ phase microsphere structure serves as a filler phase, precisely filling the gaps between the tabular corundum and other particles, effectively reducing apparent porosity. Simultaneously, its high activity during sintering forms a stable solid solution or low-melting-point glass phase with surrounding components, promoting particle adhesion and further enhancing the material's density and mechanical strength. The core-shell structure of ZrO2@SiC whiskers is a key component for improving the overall performance of the material. SiC whiskers possess extremely high tensile strength and thermal conductivity, rapidly conducting thermal stress generated by temperature fluctuations and reducing crack initiation caused by thermal stress concentration. The ZrO2 shell, stabilized by yttrium hexahydrate, forms a stable tetragonal phase. Upon temperature changes, it undergoes a martensitic transformation, resulting in volume expansion. This phase transformation toughening effect dissipates fracture energy and inhibits crack propagation. Simultaneously, the ZrO2 shell exhibits excellent chemical stability, effectively blocking the erosion of SiC whiskers by high-temperature alkaline media and preventing oxidation failure, thus achieving both toughening and protection functions. The ZrO2 shell's extremely strong chemical stability prevents molten K2CO3 from contacting the internal matrix, while the whiskers inhibit erosion crack propagation. The high density of the tabular corundum also slows down the penetration of alkaline media. Furthermore, micron-sized alumina acts as a densification core, filling intergranular gaps, reducing apparent porosity, increasing density, and inhibiting the penetration of alkaline media.
[0028] Third, the solid solution formed by fused magnesium chromium powder and fused magnesium sand not only improves the high-temperature strength of the material, but also optimizes the microstructure of the magnesium phase through Cr2O3 doping, reduces the grain growth rate, enhances the material's resistance to molten slag wetting, and delays molten slag penetration.
[0029] IV. In the boron-nitrogen-doped carbon-silane modified magnesium-aluminum spinel intermediate of the present invention, the boron-nitrogen-doped carbon black is prepared by high-temperature sintering of carbon black, boric acid, melamine and urea. Its BNC active groups form a dense coating layer, physically blocking the contact between moisture in the air and the magnesium components, fundamentally inhibiting the brick powdering and strength reduction problems caused by MgO hydration and the formation of magnesium hydroxide, significantly improving the material's storage, transportation and use stability. The silane coupling agent KH-560 acts as an interface modifier, its molecules chemically reacting with the hydroxyl groups on the surface of the magnesium-aluminum spinel, the active groups of the ceramic phase and the magnesium-based phase, forming chemical bonds, optimizing the interfacial bonding state between the intermediate and the matrix, reducing interfacial defects such as voids and microcracks, and improving the overall mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the material. The magnesium-aluminum spinel itself possesses high chemical stability and high-temperature strength, and has good compatibility with the ceramic phase and the magnesium-based phase. As a transition phase, it coordinates the difference in thermal expansion coefficients between the two phases, further improving thermal shock resistance.
[0030] V. In the ferrosilicon-boron nitride composite additive, ferrosilicon alloy powder (FeSi75) reacts with surrounding components at high temperatures to form a low-melting-point glassy phase, filling the micropores generated during sintering and promoting material densification. The lamellar structure of hexagonal boron nitride forms a lubricating layer on the brick surface, reducing the friction between high-speed abrasives and the brick surface. Simultaneously, the chemical inertness of hexagonal boron nitride enhances the material's resistance to acid and alkali media. PEG2000 plays a dispersing role during preparation, ensuring uniform mixing of ferrosilicon powder and boron nitride powder and avoiding performance fluctuations caused by local agglomeration. Silica micropowder, as an auxiliary sintering agent, lowers the sintering temperature and promotes crystal phase development due to its high activity. Simultaneously, the magnesium silicate phase formed with the magnesium-based phase enhances the bonding strength between particles.
[0031] VI. The four-stage particle size distribution of fused magnesia and the three-stage particle size distribution of tabular corundum achieves the compact packing of raw material particles through a coarse particle skeleton, medium particle filling and fine particle density packing mode, thereby minimizing apparent porosity and improving material density and mechanical strength.
[0032] VII. The material conditioning step ensures that the alumina sol and all raw material particles are fully wetted, with uniform moisture distribution, reducing internal stress in the formed brick blank. Multi-stage sintering process: Drying thoroughly removes free and adsorbed water from the blank, preventing cracks caused by rapid moisture evaporation during drying; sintering at 500℃~600℃ achieves full carbonization of the thermosetting phenolic resin, forming a stable carbon bond network; sintering at 900℃~1000℃ promotes the formation of low-melting-point phases and initial bonding between particles; sintering at 1450℃~1550℃ ensures complete crystallization of the ZrO2 shell and sufficient reaction between components to form a stable crystalline phase. Simultaneously, a nitrogen protective atmosphere prevents oxidation and failure of SiC whiskers and the carbon phase, ensuring the structural and performance stability of each functional phase.
[0033] In summary, the core innovation of this invention lies in the precise matching and synergistic effect of each component and process parameter, rather than the performance superposition of a single component: the rigid framework and toughening and thermal conductivity of the ceramic phase complement the strong alkali erosion resistance of the magnesium-based phase, resolving the inherent contradiction of poor alkali resistance in traditional ceramic tiles and weak wear resistance in magnesia tiles. The boron-nitrogen-doped carbon-silane modified magnesium-aluminum spinel intermediate simultaneously achieves both waterproofing and interface optimization, solving the hydration problem of magnesia materials and building a bridge for the synergistic effect between the ceramic and magnesium-based phases, avoiding performance degradation due to poor compatibility between the two phases. The composite additives, particle size distribution, molding process, and sintering regime create a synergistic effect. The densification, lubrication, and wear resistance of the ferrosilicon-boron nitride composite additives, the enhanced wear resistance of zirconium diboride, the assisted sintering of silica powder, combined with the crystal phase development regulation of multi-stage sintering and the density improvement of high-pressure molding, through a chain reaction of densification, interface strengthening, and functional complementarity, simultaneously optimize the material's density, mechanical strength, erosion resistance, and thermal shock resistance. The phase transformation toughening and thermal protection of ZrO2@SiC whiskers, the waterproofing and interface lubrication of boron-nitrogen doped carbon black, and the wear-resistant lubrication of boron nitride work synergistically to improve the thermal shock resistance of the material and significantly enhance its resistance to erosion and wear, ensuring long-term stable service under harsh conditions of high temperature, severe temperature fluctuations, and high-speed erosion.

[0116] Table 1. Test Results (Average Values)
[0117]
[0118] The results of the above embodiments show that: Examples 1 to 3 have good performance: in the ceramic composite, the tabular corundum forms a rigid skeleton, and the micron-sized alumina fills the gaps, reducing apparent porosity and increasing density; the core-shell structure of ZrO2@SiC whiskers plays a dual role: the high thermal conductivity of SiC whiskers quickly dissipates heat dissipation stress, and the phase transformation toughening effect of the ZrO2 shell consumes fracture energy by generating microcracks, simultaneously improving thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength. The magnesium-based phase provides strong resistance to alkaline slag erosion and forms a functional complement to the ceramic phase. The boron-nitrogen-doped carbon-silane modified magnesium-aluminum spinel intermediate blocks the contact between moisture and magnesium components through the boron-nitrogen-doped carbon black coating layer, inhibiting the hydration reaction; the silane coupling agent optimizes the interfacial bonding between the intermediate and the ceramic and magnesium-based phases, reduces interfacial defects, and improves the overall density and mechanical properties of the material; the high chemical stability of the magnesium-aluminum spinel itself further enhances the resistance to slag and alkaline erosion. In the ferrosilicon-boron nitride composite additive, ferrosilicon alloy powder generates a low-melting-point glassy phase at high temperatures, filling pores and promoting sintering densification; the lamellar structure of boron nitride forms a lubricating layer, reducing the friction between the abrasive and the brick surface, while its chemical inertness enhances erosion resistance. Reasonable particle size distribution achieves close particle packing, high-pressure molding reduces forming porosity, nitrogen atmosphere sintering avoids component oxidation, and a multi-stage heating regime ensures full carbonization and crystal development of the thermosetting phenolic resin, further optimizing the overall material performance.
[0119] The comparative results above show that when the component ratio is unbalanced and the proportion of ceramic composite is too low, there is a lack of sufficient hard reinforcing phase to support the skeleton, resulting in decreased density, increased apparent porosity, and a significant reduction in thermal shock resistance, wear resistance, and high-temperature strength. Omitting the boron-nitrogen-doped carbon-silane modified magnesium-aluminum spinel intermediate worsens interfacial compatibility, intensifies hydration reactions, and comprehensively reduces thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, and mechanical properties. When only tabular corundum is retained in the ceramic composite, the lack of micron-sized alumina filling effect and the toughening and thermal conductivity of ZrO2@SiC whiskers increases material brittleness and significantly deteriorates thermal shock resistance and erosion resistance. Replacing ZrO2@SiC whiskers with SiC whiskers results in the loss of the phase transformation toughening and protective effect of the ZrO2 shell, making SiC whiskers susceptible to corrosion in high-temperature alkaline environments, thus reducing thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance. When the high-temperature sintering step is omitted in the preparation of ZrO2@SiC whiskers, the ZrO2 shell is not fully crystallized and has a loose structure, which cannot effectively protect the SiC whiskers. Moreover, the bonding force with the matrix is weak, resulting in a decrease in mechanical properties, thermal shock resistance, and erosion resistance. When the dispersant or sintering step is omitted in the preparation of boron-nitrogen-doped carbon-silane modified magnesium-aluminum spinel intermediates, the coating layer is uneven, the bonding force is weak, the interface defects increase, and the material density and overall performance deteriorate. When the amount of boron-nitrogen-doped carbon black added is insufficient, the coating layer is discontinuous, the waterproofing, interface enhancement, and lubrication effects are weakened, and all properties decrease to varying degrees. When excessive silicon micropowder replaces the silicon-iron-boron nitride composite additive, the high activity of silicon micropowder easily reacts with the magnesium-based phase at high temperatures to form a low-melting-point phase, resulting in a decrease in high-temperature strength. At the same time, the lack of lubrication from boron nitride deteriorates the resistance to erosion and slag corrosion. When yttrium nitrate is lacking in the preparation of ZrO2@SiC whiskers, ZrO2 cannot stabilize the tetragonal phase, and the phase transformation toughening effect fails. When PEG dispersant is lacking, the zirconium-silica sol is unevenly dispersed, the core-shell structure defects increase, and the toughening, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance are weakened.
