Steel ladle low-carbon working lining brick
Technical Field
The invention relates to a refractory material, in particular to a ladle low-carbon working lining brick.
Background
With the development of external refining and continuous casting technologies, the ladle is gradually changed from the original molten steel container with single function into external molten steel refining equipment with complex function. The extension of the residence time of the molten steel in the ladle and the increase of the tapping temperature make the working environment of the ladle more severe. In order to adapt to the change of the working environment of the steel ladle, the domestic steel ladle generally adopts carbon composite refractory materials such as aluminum-magnesium-carbon bricks and the like. When in use, the ladle using the alumina-magnesia carbon brick and the like as the lining is found to have high thermal conductivity, fast temperature drop of molten steel and no contribution to smooth continuous casting production on the one hand, and on the other hand, the carbon-containing product has obvious recarburization effect on the molten steel and is not suitable for smelting low-carbon steel and clean steel. Therefore, in recent years, the steel-clad carbon composite lining material has been gradually reduced in carbon.
The low-carbon composite refractory material is highly concerned in various fields due to the superiorities of reducing self thermal conductivity and total carbon content, effectively reducing recarburization on molten steel and the like, and becomes a new development focus of the carbon composite refractory material for the steel ladle.
At present, when ultra-low carbon steel such as silicon steel, bridge steel, automobile plate steel and the like is smelted, the ultra-low carbon steel must be refined in a VD furnace under a vacuum condition, argon blowing and stirring are carried out on the bottom of a steel ladle, and thermodynamic and kinetic conditions, desulfurization, alloying, temperature rise and the like need to be strengthened through steps of LF furnace arc heating, furnace reducing atmosphere, white slag refining, gas stirring and the like, so that the slag alkalinity range is large, the temperature of molten steel and slag is higher, the detention time of the molten steel in the steel ladle is prolonged, the thermal shock property is strong, the stirring force is large, and the factors can aggravate the damage of a lining of the steel ladle. The research shows that: the simple reduction of the carbon content in the carbon composite refractory material can cause the deterioration of the slag resistance, the thermal shock resistance and the scour resistance of the material; meanwhile, the existing ladle low-carbon composite refractory material not only needs to use resin as a bonding agent (which can cause environmental pollution), but also has weak slag resistance, thermal shock resistance and scouring resistance, has a short service life (generally about 115 times), and cannot completely meet the requirements of ladle refining production.
