Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of refractory materials, and in particular to erosion-resistant refractory materials, their manufacturing methods and their uses. [Background technology]

[0002] After molten iron is blown in a converter, due to the presence of more oxygen, the molten steel must undergo refining processes, mainly deoxidation, desulfurization, and removal of non-metallic inclusions, which usually require high temperatures and high alkalinity slag. The damage to refractories during the refining process is very serious, mainly due to the high temperature and high alkalinity slag.

[0003] Because high temperatures cause slag to corrode refractory materials quickly, the working linings used in ladle refining are generally made of relatively good refractory materials, with high raw material purity and good corrosion resistance. Currently used corundum-spinel castables, corundum-MgO-SiO2 castables, etc. are mainly made of corundum.

[0004] Refined slag is generally highly basic and has low viscosity, and is primarily used for desulfurization and to change the properties of inclusions. However, this also leads to the slag penetrating deep into the refractory material, which causes deterioration and dissolution of the refractory material. The large difference in the expansion coefficient and high-temperature performance of the metamorphic layer and the raw brick layer causes the refractory material to peel off and be damaged, which is a very fatal method of damage to the refractory material.

[0005] Unlike ceramics, refractories are generally subject to large temperature fluctuations and thermal stresses during use. Therefore, to prevent stress cracking and damage to the refractory during use, it is necessary to ensure a certain level of porosity in the refractory to buffer expansion stresses. For example, corundum-spinel castables have a porosity of 15-19%. These pores buffer expansion stresses and provide favorable conditions for the penetration of low-viscosity slag, which can cause penetration and spalling damage. Existing refractory preparation technologies and research concepts require a certain level of porosity to avoid stress damage and ensure thermal shock stability.

[0006] Therefore, the refractory materials used in ladles must satisfy three requirements: corrosion resistance, penetration resistance, and thermal shock stability. However, the thermal shock stability, penetration resistance, and corrosion resistance are mutually contradictory.

[0007] Magnesia-carbon bricks and alumina-magnesia-carbon bricks are currently the primary type of ladle lining material used in industrial applications. They are based on the idea of ​​adding graphite to a base of corrosion-resistant materials such as magnesia and corundum. Graphite's low wettability prevents slag and molten steel from penetrating the refractory. Its high thermal conductivity reduces temperature gradients within the refractory, alleviating thermal stress caused by sudden temperature changes and improving the refractory's thermal shock resistance. However, graphite-based materials present problems during use, particularly when smelting ultra-low carbon steel, due to the addition of carbon to the steel. Furthermore, graphite oxidation, which corresponds to increased porosity, can accelerate damage to such materials. Carbon-free refining ladle refractories are an important development direction.

[0008] Corundum-spinel or corundum-MgO-SiO2 castables are carbon-free refractory materials currently used in industry. The aggregates are plate-like corundum and spinel particles, and the fine powders are plate-like corundum, spinel, activated alumina fine powder, pure aluminate cement, etc. The raw materials for this type of castable are high-purity and highly corrosion-resistant, but the refractory materials used in the construction suffer from a trade-off between thermal shock stability, penetration resistance, and erosion resistance.

[0009] For carbon-free refractories, improved thermal shock stability is typically achieved by maintaining a certain porosity, but the presence of pores leads to reduced permeation resistance. Corrosion resistance is achieved by using highly purified raw materials with high corrosion resistance, but this leads to difficulties in sintering and the challenge of how to solve the permeation resistance problem. Permeation resistance is primarily improved by improving the sinterability and densification of the refractory. In addition to adjusting the particle size distribution, densification is achieved through the sintering process. Sintering is usually achieved through the liquid phase.

[0010] Because refractories are composed of aggregates of large particles and fine powders, large interparticle densification forces are required. Furthermore, the surface tension and dissolution driving forces of the liquid phase are very limited. Therefore, while liquid phase sintering can alter local morphology, it cannot alter the overall structure. Furthermore, it cannot effectively prevent slag penetration unless a large amount of liquid phase is present. This is impossible under the high-temperature, harsh conditions of steel refining. Furthermore, the presence of a large amount of liquid phase significantly reduces the thermal shock stability of the material, leaving the tradeoff between thermal shock stability, penetration resistance, and erosion resistance unresolved.

[0011] The structural formula of calcium hexaaluminate is CaO 6Al2O3 (abbreviated as CA6), its melting point is 1875°C, and its theoretical density is 3.79g / cm 3 The characteristics of this material are as follows: (1) It has good stability under low oxygen partial pressures, (2) calcium hexaaluminate has a lamellar stacking structure, and its crystal growth is anisotropic, with a slow growth rate along the C axis, making it difficult to sinter, and (3) when CA6 reacts with slag, it produces CA2 (abbreviation for CaO·2Al2O3) and CA (abbreviation for CaO·Al2O3), etc. At steelmaking temperatures, CA2 becomes solid and CA becomes liquid, and this solid-liquid mixed phase blocks pores and inhibits the penetration of slag.

[0012] The ability to inhibit slag penetration is very suitable for refractories that come into contact with molten materials, but the layered structure and anisotropic growth of the material reduce sinterability and make densification difficult, so the volume density is less than 3.0 g / cm 3 and raw materials with a volume density of 2.90 g / cm3 It is also difficult to prepare calcium hexaaluminate refractories exceeding this limit. Without high-density CA6 raw materials, it is impossible to produce high-density CA6 refractories.

[0013] Currently, additives such as SiO2 and TiO2 are often used to densify calcium hexaaluminate raw materials, but at high temperatures, a liquid phase appears, promoting densification and sintering. For example, Chen Zhaoyou and Chai Junlan, in "Calcium Hexaaluminate Materials and Their Application to Aluminum Industrial Furnaces" (Non-Patent Document 1), describe the physical and chemical properties of Bonite (a trade name for calcium hexaaluminate) and note that its chemical composition contains 0.9% SiO2. Furthermore, "Method for Preparing Dense Calcium Hexaaluminate Refractory Clinker" (Patent Document 1) and "Dense Calcium Hexaaluminate Refractory Clinker and Method for Preparing the Same" (Patent Document 2) use TiO2 and MnO as sintering agents, respectively. However, these methods do not achieve densification by controlling the atomic stacking within the mirror layer; instead, they only utilize a liquid phase to reduce the distance between particles, which limits the densification. Furthermore, in all methods of adding sintering aids to increase density, the high-temperature performance of the material is sacrificed, resulting in a significant decrease (although the amount added is less than 1%, it generates several times more liquid phase at high temperatures).

[0014] Refractories made from calcium hexaaluminate with added sintering aids have problems such as high apparent porosity (apparent porosity of the material is up to 35%) and poor corrosion resistance, in addition to defects inherent to the raw material. When the porosity is high and a large amount of sintering aid is added, the damage rate of calcium hexaaluminate refractories becomes very fast.

[0015] CaO·2MgO·8Al2O3 and 2CaO·2MgO·14Al2O3 are both based on the CA6 structural unit and C-axis stacking of MgO·Al2O3, and their properties are similar to those of CA6. For ease of explanation, we will refer to only CA6 below, and collectively refer to CaO·2MgO·8Al2O3 and 2CaO·2MgO·14Al2O3 as CMA. Furthermore, CA6 and CMA are collectively referred to as calcium hexaaluminate phases. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0016] [Patent Document 1] Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN110171980A [Patent Document 2] Chinese Patent Application Publication No. CN105585314A [Non-patent literature]

[0017] [Non-Patent Document 1] Chen Zhaoyou et al., Calcium hexaaluminate material and its application to aluminum industrial furnaces [J]. Refractory Materials, 2011, 45(2): 122~125. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0018] Therefore, based on the advantages of calcium hexaaluminate's chemical composition, how can the density and structural uniformity of the material be significantly improved, the penetration of molten steel and slag reduced, the altered and damaged layers reduced, and the service life extended? How can the purity of calcium aluminate material be increased, its resistance to slag erosion improved, and its service life extended? These are of great importance for the refining of refractory materials for ladle linings and vessels such as aluminum refractory materials.

[0019] Based on the above analysis, the problems and deficiencies of the prior art are as follows: (1) To balance thermal shock stability and slag penetration resistance, refractories must maintain high porosity. This allows slag to penetrate deeply into the refractory, resulting in a thick metamorphic layer and subsequent erosion and spalling damage. (2) To ensure corrosion resistance, most raw materials are highly pure, but sintering is difficult. To achieve sintering and densification of the green body, sintering aids must be added to lower the melting point and increase the liquid phase, resulting in reduced slag erosion resistance. (3) The addition of sintering aids promotes sintering and densification, but only changes the local microstructure; the overall structure remains sparse. While the material is densified, the structural uniformity is poor. (4) Currently, there is no large-scale production of dense CA6 refractory raw materials. Although a small amount of dense CA6 raw materials is produced, the raw materials contain sintering aids such as SiO2. (5) The presence of a large amount of sintering aid liquid phase significantly reduces the thermal shock stability of the material. (6) The contradiction between thermal shock stability, penetration resistance, and corrosion resistance has not yet been resolved.

[0020] The difficulties in resolving the above problems and deficiencies are as follows: (1) In conventional refractory development, the pore distribution is highly uneven, whether in castables or firebricks. To mitigate stress damage caused by temperature changes, a large amount of porosity is required to counteract the uneven pore distribution, making slag penetration inevitable and difficult to control. (2) The only way to improve slag erosion resistance is to increase the purity of the raw materials, but high-purity raw materials are difficult to sinter through particle diffusion alone, and strength cannot be guaranteed. (3) High-purity refractory systems can achieve liquid-phase sintering and achieve strength only by adding sintering aids, but the appearance of a low-melting liquid phase reduces corrosion resistance. (4) CA6 materials are difficult to sinter due to their structural characteristics. While densification can be achieved by adding sintering aids, this results in reduced high-temperature performance, significantly reduced slag erosion resistance, and reduced thermal shock stability. (5) In conventional refractory development, it is difficult to achieve high density by utilizing close-packed particle stacking and the surface tension of the liquid phase.

[0021] The significance of solving these problems and shortcomings is as follows: Using high-purity, corrosion-resistant raw materials as a base, high-purity, corrosion-resistant refractories can be produced without the addition of sintering aids, the formation of a low-melting-point liquid phase, or relying on liquid phase sintering, thereby maximizing the corrosion-resistant advantages of high-purity raw materials; constructing refractories with a uniform structure not only resolves the structural stress of the entire refractory, but also solves the problem of slag penetration resistance, achieving both penetration resistance and thermal shock resistance; this not only fully utilizes the advantages of high-purity raw materials with excellent corrosion resistance, but also achieves both thermal shock stability and slag penetration resistance, solving the problem of rapid damage to refractories in ladle working linings under harsh refining conditions, bringing significant economic and social benefits. [Means for solving the problem]

[0022] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a refractory material having high resistance to corrosion, a method for producing the same, and use of the same.

[0023] The highly corrosion-resistant refractory material of the present invention does not require the addition of sintering aids during the manufacturing process, and can be manufactured using a hot-press sintering process to produce refractory products with high purity, good corrosion resistance, good slag penetration resistance, and high thermal shock stability.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0027] The present invention will now be described in detail in conjunction with the embodiments illustrated in the drawings, where like numerals represent like features throughout the drawings. While specific embodiments of the present invention are illustrated in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be embodied in various forms and is not limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more complete understanding of the present invention and to fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0028] It should be noted that specific terms are used in the present specification and claims to refer to specific components. Those skilled in the art will understand that different terms may be used to refer to the same component. In the present specification and claims, differences in nouns are not used to distinguish between components, but rather functional differences in the components are used as the basis for distinction. For example, the terms "comprise" or "include" used throughout the specification and claims are open terms and should be interpreted as "including but not limited to." The following descriptions in this specification are preferred embodiments for carrying out the present invention, but these descriptions are intended to illustrate the general principles of the present specification and do not limit the scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.

[0029] The present application provides a corrosion-resistant refractory material, the phases of which include corundum and one or more of CA6, C2M2A14, CM2A8, and ZrO2.

[0030] The phases of the refractory material are determined by XRD. For example, the material to be measured is polished to less than 325 mesh and then scanned by an X-ray diffractometer. The diffraction data is analyzed and matched with a standard PDF (Powder Diffraction File) card to obtain the relevant phases. By fitting the diffraction data, the contents of the relevant phases are obtained.

[0031] The ZrO2 phase is fO2 and ZrO2 coexist and are difficult to separate, and their crystal shapes are similar. (1)H f The O2 phase is ZrO2.

[0119] [Table 2-2]

[0120] Experimental Example 1 Dynamic slag erosion test In the dynamic slag erosion test, the refractory material obtained in Example 1 and the refractory material sample obtained in Comparative Example 1 were compared. The samples for dynamic slag erosion must be long enough to be fixed to a rotating shaft. The refractory material obtained in Example 1 had a high volume density, a high corundum content, and high hardness, making it difficult to grind into a cylindrical sample with a diameter of 15 mm. Instead, it had to be cut into a square bar. The erosion rate was measured based on the size of the opposite side, so cutting the sample into a square bar did not affect the accuracy of the final results. For comparison, the castable material of Comparative Example 1 was injection cast into a sample of the same size. The conditions for the dynamic slag corrosion test were as follows: deoxidation using metallic aluminum, the experimental temperature was 1600°C, the atmosphere was argon, the slag system used was CaO-Al2O3-SiO2, and the steelmaking slag composition was CaO 51%, Al2O3 30%, SiO2 11%, MgO 8%, and CaO / SiO2 4.6. The castable of Comparative Example 1 and the refractory material described in Example 1 were each attached to a motor with a high-temperature adhesive, and the rotation speed was controlled at 10 cycles / min. The experimental results are shown in Figures 1A and 1B, respectively. 1A and 1B, after 8 minutes of rotation, the castable sample of Comparative Example 1 immersed in steelmaking slag collapsed, whereas the refractory material of Example 1 showed almost no change, retaining very high roundness and essentially remaining unchanged. The sample was cut open and the width of the unreacted interface was measured with a vernier caliper. Damage of 0.2 to 0.5 mm was found, indicating that the refractory material obtained in Example 1 had excellent corrosion resistance.

[0121] Experimental example 2: Static slag erosion test The crucible method was used for the static slag erosion test. Figure 2A shows a schematic diagram of the static crucible method for molten steel refining. The refractory material of Example 1 was hot-pressed into a 45 mm diameter sample, and then a 30 mm × 40 mm pit was drilled into the sample. The castable material of Comparative Example 1 was injection-cast into a 45 mm diameter sample, with an internal pit measuring 30 mm × 40 mm. The test conditions were 1600°C, argon atmosphere, and deoxidation with metallic aluminum. The slag system used was a CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 system, with a steelmaking slag composition of 51% CaO, 30% Al2O3, 11% SiO2, 8% MgO, and 4.6% CaO / SiO2. The static slag erosion results are shown in Figure 2B. Here, a, b, and c represent the profile structures of the castable material of Comparative Example 1 at 30, 40, and 50 minutes, respectively, and d, e, and f represent the profile structures of the sample of Example 1 at 30, 40, and 50 minutes, respectively. As can be seen from Figure 2B, after 40 minutes, the castable of Comparative Example 1 was completely infiltrated and eroded by the slag in some areas, resulting in the sample's collapse. The erosion thickness in some areas was 270 μm, but the slag had completely infiltrated the sample. This is caused by the structure and properties of conventional refractory materials. Conventional materials often have an uneven structure, so while they are generally good overall, some areas are no longer durable. In contrast, the sample of Example 1 of the present invention showed very good uniformity and a very complete structure. Furthermore, Figure 2C is a comparison of the microstructure of the castable of Comparative Example 1 with that of the sample of Example 1 of the present invention, where a, b, and c are the microstructures of the castable of Comparative Example 1 at 30 minutes, 40 minutes, and 50 minutes, respectively, and d, e, and f are the microstructures of the sample of Example 1 at 30 minutes, 40 minutes, and 50 minutes, respectively. The microstructure shows that the structure of the castable of Comparative Example 1 is very uneven, and slag may penetrate deeply along the more porous areas, while the metamorphic layer of Example 1 of the present invention is very thin and uniform. This also indicates the superior performance of the sample of the present invention.

[0122] Experimental Example 3: Slag corrosion and thermal shock stability test The refractories obtained in Examples 1 to 17 and Comparative Example 1 were subjected to slag erosion and thermal shock stability tests. To measure the slag erosion status, the crucible after the experiment was first cut along the midplane, samples were taken from the crucible wall, and the slag erosion status was determined by observing and measuring the samples under an electron microscope. The thermal shock stability test was performed in accordance with GB / T 30873-2014, and the results are shown in Table 3.

[0123] [Table 3]

[0124] The applicability and performance evaluation of refractory materials is not only related to slag corrosion resistance, but also the thermal shock stability of the refractory material under rapid cooling and heating conditions must be considered. If the thermal shock stability is poor, cracks may occur during use, which may affect the performance of the material.

[0125] In terms of corrosion resistance, under the same volume density, the addition of ZrO2 is advantageous, and corundum has better corrosion resistance than CA6, C2M2A8, and CM2A8. For the same composition, refractory materials with higher volume density have better corrosion resistance.

[0126] In terms of thermal shock stability, the addition of ZrO2 is advantageous, and the addition of CA6 has better thermal shock stability than refractory materials with the same mass of corundum, C2M2A8, and CM2A8 added. With the same composition, if the volume density is small, the thermal shock stability is relatively good.

[0127] It is also necessary to consider the cost performance of the refractory material. For example, refractory materials containing zirconia have excellent slag corrosion resistance and thermal shock stability, and even when added in large amounts, their performance remains excellent. However, since zirconia is expensive, the examples of the present invention are based on a comprehensive comparison of their performance.
