Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of furnace and kiln equipment maintenance in the metallurgical industry, specifically relating to a multi-layer composite masonry structure for the lower trough of an RH furnace. Background Technology

[0002] The RH refining furnace is a key piece of equipment in steelmaking for degassing and decarburization. Its lower tank is subjected to the scouring and chemical corrosion of molten steel at temperatures exceeding 1600℃ for extended periods. Traditional maintenance processes have the following problems:

[0003] 1. Short lifespan: The single material masonry leads to thermal stress concentration, and the connection between the bottom of the trench and the circulation pipe is prone to cracking.

[0004] 2. Poor sealing: The insulation layer has a high water absorption rate, which causes it to crack during baking, and there is insufficient thermal expansion compensation between the permanent layer and the working layer.

[0005] 3. Low construction precision: poor control of brick joints (>2mm), molten steel penetration leading to structural spalling.

[0006] 4. Low maintenance efficiency: Full repair requires multiple furnace shutdowns, affecting production continuity. The existing problem of coordinating the expansion of multi-layer materials has not been solved.

[0007] In view of the above factors, a multi-layer composite masonry structure for the lower trough of an RH furnace is provided, which is suitable for refractory material layered masonry structure and complete repair method that is resistant to erosion and thermal shock in high-temperature environments.
