How to Improve the Performance of Refractory Castables?

June 16, 2021September 24, 2020 by rsrefractorycastable

With the continuous progress in the production and use of refractory castables, it is necessary to improve the wear resistance and thermal shock resistance of refractory castables. The research and development of new refractory castables with excellent high-temperature strength, good thermal shock resistance, and good corrosion resistance will help improve the life of cement kiln linings. Rongsheng refractory manufacturer. There are two important measures to improve the performance of refractory castables. In this article, you can also learn another two ways to improve the performance of refractory castables.

Improve the Wear Resistance and Thermal Shock Resistance of Refractory Castables

Measures to improve the wear resistance of wear-resistant castables

Reduce the critical particle size of the castable. From 8mm to about 5mm.
Improve the flexural strength of the castable in the medium temperature and hot state. At a medium temperature of 900°C, the flexural strength of the castable indirectly reflects the wear resistance of the castable. The current development trend is to require the hot flexural strength of the castable to be no less than 20MPa.
Improve the bonding ability of the castable matrix. It is formulated with multi-level micro powder and super micro powder to form the tightest accumulation. Promote sintering at medium temperature and improve the bonding ability of the castable matrix.
Use high-hardness refractory materials as aggregates.

Measures to improve thermal shock resistance of wear-resistant castables

Firstly, It adopts composite aggregate and composite powder, that is, complex phase technology. The difference between the linear expansion coefficient of aggregate and matrix is used to balance the strength and thermal shock resistance of the castable.

- High expansion aggregate + low expansion matrix. This combination is very resistant to thermal shock.
- Low expansion aggregate + low expansion matrix. This combined castable has uniform bonding and high mechanical strength. General thermal shock will not produce huge stress in the castable, and cracks will appear.

Then, Reduce the thermal expansion rate of the material. Try to choose materials with a relatively low thermal expansion rate to improve the thermal stability and mechanical impact of the castable.

How to Improve the Performance of Refractory Castables?

In addition, the performance of refractory castables can also be improved according to the application characteristics of refractory materials.

Add water reducing agent to refractory castable

Seeing such topics, it is estimated that everyone is like me, the first thing that comes to mind is what is the use of refractory castables added to water-reducing agents.

The water reducing agent is added to the castable, which can significantly reduce the amount of mixing water added during the construction of the castable. In the case of constant water consumption during the construction of the castable, it can also increase the fluidity or plasticization of the castable.

Water reducing agent is an electrolyte material of surface-active substance, which is dissolved in castable and can be adsorbed on the surface of particles. By increasing the repulsive force between the ion surface and the particles in the solution, the free water which is composed of fine particles and wrapped in the castable structure is released. It plays a role in wetting and dispersing. Water reducing agents can also be called a dispersing agent.

Water reducing agent is a dispersant or flow agent of high alumina cement, which plays a plasticizing or deflocculating role in refractory castables. Under the condition of keeping the flow value of the refractory castable basically unchanged, the water reducing agent does not chemically react with the comprehensive components of the raw and auxiliary materials in the castable, nor does it generate compounds, but only plays a physical and chemical role on the surface.

Because the water reducing agent can release the free water in the castable structure. Therefore, while keeping the fluidity of the castable unchanged, the water consumption during the construction of the castable can be reduced. Or under the condition that the castable does not change the unit water consumption, increase the rheology of the castable, improve the working skills, and make the refractory castable easier to construct and shape.

Add steel fiber to refractory castable

In the production of refractory castables, steel fiber refractory castable products of different diameters are added. Steel fiber is a product made of heat-resistant and wear-resistant stainless steel or other steel types. Common steel fiber specifications are 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, and 35mm. Steel fiber castable is a refractory castable with high strength, good thermal shock resistance, and good wear resistance. Adding steel fiber to the refractory castable can enhance the performance of the castable and increase the use effect.

The effects of adding steel fiber to refractory castable are:

(1) Enhance the toughness of the lining, improve the resistance to mechanical impact, and wear resistance.

(2) Improve thermal shock resistance, improve cracking, and peeling resistance.

(3) Suppress linear shrinkage after curing, drying, and heat treatment.

The refractory castable is added with steel fiber to enhance the use effect after pouring, but the amount of steel fiber added to the castable is determined according to the requirements of the technical department. Too much steel fiber added to the castable can cause damage to the lining at high temperature after pouring, reduce the corrosion resistance of the lining, and affect the performance of the kiln lining.

What are the Functions of Micro-Powder in Refractory Castables?

June 16, 2021September 17, 2020 by rsrefractorycastable

The basic mechanism of micro-powder in refractory castables is filling and lubrication. The micro powder can be used to fill the gap between aggregate and powder, reducing the amount of water used. After the molded body removes water, there are fewer holes left, which can increase the bulk density and reduce the apparent porosity. Thereby improving the structural strength of the material and optimizing material performance. In addition, the fine powder particles can form colloidal particles in water. When there is a dispersant, the particle surface forms an overlapping electric double layer to generate electrostatic repulsion, which overcomes the van der Waals force between the particles. Reduce the interface energy and prevent the particles from adsorption and aggregation. At the same time, the dispersant is adsorbed around the particles to form a solvent layer. Therefore, the fluidity of the castable is also increased, and the performance of the refractory castable material is optimized.

Silica Micro-powder in Refractory Castable

Micro-powder Used in Refractory Castables

In refractory castables, the most used micro powders are active SiO2 powder and a-AL2O3 powder. Followed by SiC powder, high alumina powder, white corundum powder, brown corundum powder, zircon powder, and spinel powder. The function of micro-powder in refractory castables is to fill and lubricate and increase fluidity.

The Silica Powder Added in the Refractory Castables

The SiO2 powder used in the refractory industry is mainly micron-sized. There are many types of SiO2 micro powders, among which silica fume has good performance and a wider range of applications. It is a by-product of ferrosilicon alloy plants and metal silica plants. In addition, there are natural mineral powder quartz, SiO2 powder milled by a grinder, and white carbon black powder. Electronic industry by-products, active SiO2 powder on the surface treated by silane coupling. Fused silica powder. When using zircon to produce desiliconized zirconium dioxide, the collected by-product-silica powder, and the silica powder collected in the production of metal silica.

What is the role of silica powder in refractory castables?

Silica powder is added to the refractory castable to supplement the tiny pores. Through the precise particle gradation of ultra-fine powder, the strong performance of the castable is improved.

The strength of refractory castable comes from high alumina cement, and the CaO in high alumina cement reaches 5% to 8%. It will reduce the medium temperature strength of refractory castables. If the amount of low melting material is large at high temperature, it will also reduce the high-temperature performance of refractory castable. The CaO in high-alumina cement will produce hydration, and the amount of water used will increase after hydration. If the amount of water is large, the castable structure will become loose. If the superfine powder is added, the cement content in the castable can be reduced to 6%. Reduce the CaO and water consumption in the high alumina cement, thereby increasing the strength of the castable. This is the importance of silica powder in refractory castables.

Silica powder is an essential raw material in refractory castables. Adding silica powder to the castable will increase the flow value of the castable. The silica powder has a small particle size and is a spherical particle, which is extremely easy to enter the tiny voids of the castable. Therefore, adding silica powder has good water reducing effect. It can also increase the density of refractory castables and reduce porosity. So that the strength of the refractory castable is better.

The compressive strength of the refractory castable after adding silica micro powder will also change significantly at different temperatures. The initial strength is 110°C, and the medium temperature strength is 1100°C. Due to the fineness activity of SiO2 powder and the fluxing effect of CaO and other impurities in the refractory castable, a strong ceramic bond will be produced. When the high-temperature strength is 1450℃, the silica powder and the alumina powder will form mullite at high temperatures. The porosity of the refractory castable is reduced and the high-temperature strength is better.

α-Al2O3 Powder

The α-Al2O3 micro powder is made after calcining industrial alumina. Its characteristics are good dispersibility, small particles, easy sintering at high temperature, and small volume effect. Adding a certain amount of α-AL2O3 micro powder in refractory castables has a significant impact on its construction performance. Adding an appropriate amount of α-AL2O3 micro powder to the castable can improve the refractoriness of the refractory castable, and cause caramelization and multimerization reactions at high temperatures. On the other hand, it plays the role of filling micro powder and reduces the porosity of the castable. This reduces structural defects in the castable, improves its strength and resistance to slag erosion, and improves the overall performance of refractory materials.

Application of Zirconia Unshaped Refractories in Glass Furnace

June 16, 2021September 8, 2020 by rsrefractorycastable

With the continuous improvement and development of the glass furnace structure, the variety and demand of zirconia ramming materials are increasing. Domestic manufacturers of zirconia ramming materials have swarmed, forming a wave of production of zirconia unshaped refractories.

Zirconia Unshaped Refractories

Zirconia unshaped refractories can be divided into two categories: zirconia slurry and zirconia ramming material. Zirconia ramming materials are divided into two types: zirconite and zirconia alumina. The former is to add a certain proportion of crushed sintered zircon brick pieces to the zirconia mortar powder to form granular aggregates. The latter is added with granular aggregate after the fused corundum brick is broken. When using the above two ramming materials, add an appropriate amount of industrial phosphoric acid (H3PO4) with a concentration of 85%. After mixing, make the ramming materials wet and loose, and then ramming. After high-temperature sintering, it becomes a solid whole.

Application of Zirconia Ramming Material in Glass Kiln

Among different zirconia ramming materials,

Some are zirconia ramming materials with aggregates. It is mainly used for the bottom ramming layer in the kiln for melting borosilicate glass.
Some are zirconia -alumina ramming materials. It is mainly used to melt the bottom ramming layer of soda-lime-silica glass, electric vacuum glass, and other alkaline glass furnaces.
Some belong to zirconia mortar. It is mainly used for mortar joints of zircon bricks or transition layers.
Some are intermediate repair materials. It is mainly used for repairing any refractory material that is not in contact with the molten glass in the flame space after corrosion.
There is also a mixture of ramming materials and intermediate repair materials.

Although the above-mentioned zirconia refractories have different uses, different chemical compositions, and various specifications, they are all called ramming mass refractory materials. Therefore, it often creates illusions for users. The manufacturer of Rongsheng refractory castables materials manufacturer reminds all customers that in the construction process, the wrong type should be avoided and the wrong place of the zirconia refractory ramming material should be avoided. So as not to cause the “ramming material” to peel off or be mixed in the glass liquid, causing stones and bubbles in the product. In severe cases, the glass furnace is damaged prematurely.

The Curing Mechanism of Zirconia Unshaped Refractories

Both zirconia ramming material and zirconia refractory mortar use phosphoric acid as a binding curing agent. Both types of powders contain AL2O3. When phosphoric acid (H3PO4) is added, H3PO4 reacts with AL2O3 to form AL(H2PO4)3 at 150°C. ALPO4 is formed at 236℃ and then combined with ZrO2 in zircon sand to generate Zr(H2PO4)4, Zr(HPO4)2, and Zr3(PO4)4. At 300℃~340℃, compounds such as ZrP2O7 are formed to cause bonding and solidify. When the temperature continues to rise to 1520~1550°C, decomposition occurs again to produce (ZrO) 2P2O7+P2O5. Among them, the phosphoric acid is completely volatilized at this temperature, so that the zirconia amorphous refractory material becomes a solid and integral hard block. Therefore, it is necessary to empty the furnace and heat the kiln to make the furnace bottom temperature exceed 1550°C.

Application of Low Cement Castable in Soaking Furnace

June 16, 2021July 21, 2020 by rsrefractorycastable

Low cement castable refers to a castable with low cement content. The cement dosage of refractory cement castables is generally 15% to 20%, and the cement dosage of low cement castables is about 5%, and some even reduce to 1% to 2%. Application of Low Cement Castable. The purpose of reducing the amount of cement is to improve the fire resistance of the castable. After molding and curing, less cement hydrate is formed. During heating and baking, there is no problem that a large number of hydration bonds are destroyed and the medium temperature strength is reduced. Instead, as the heat treatment temperature increases, it gradually sinters and the strength gradually increases. The water requirement of the castable is greatly reduced, so the porosity is low and the volume density is high. From the refractory castables manufacturer, it is very suitable for all kinds of heating furnaces and soaking furnace refractory lining materials.

Construction of Low Cement Castable on Soaking Furnace

Low cement castables and ordinary castables are both refractory castables combined with calcium hard aluminate cement, which are widely used in thermal equipment in metallurgy, petroleum, chemical, and other industries, and have achieved good results. In the overall pouring of the soaking furnace, the installation of anchoring bricks, the retention of expansion joints, and the 20 Pa pressure operation of baking below 200 ℃ for 4 days are the key points.

When low-cement castable is cast as a whole, it is poured layer by layer from the bottom of the furnace wall up. Take the height of two anchor bricks as one layer, paste ceramic fiber felt, build light clay bricks, and support the template. The mixed low cement castable can be poured into the formwork through the funnel. Flatten and shake with a vibrating rod, which is very important. Whenever it is poured to the horizontal position of the anchor brick, it is best to be 20 mm higher than it. Then the anchor bricks are kneaded, squeezed, and hung by hand so that they are stably placed on the required horizontal position. When pouring to the furnace mouth, spread two layers of oil felt paper to ensure easy removal during intermediate repairs. It can be demoulded 2 days after pouring.

Hardening Mechanism of Low Cement Castable

Low cement castables rely on the addition of several special raw materials to obtain good performance. In the Application of Low Cement Castable, First, pure calcium aluminate cement, due to the high content of effective mineral CaO·Al2O3, can obtain the required strength with less mixing. The second silica fume is glass beads with a SiO2 content between 93% and 98% and an average particle size of about 0.5 μm. After adding silica fume, the castable has good fluidity, low molding water requirement, and low sintering temperature, which improves the performance after heat treatment. Third, alumina powder is easier to participate in the reaction and improve the fire resistance of the material. Fourth, the water reducing agent, which can be adsorbed on the surface of the powder, and then generate electrostatic repulsion to disperse the powder, so as to further play the role of fine powder.

Oven-drying after Casting Low Cement Castable

The oven-drying is an important part that directly affects the service life of the soaking pit of the low cement castable. During the Application of Low Cement Castable, they contain ultrafine oxide powders, so they have the weaknesses of poor air permeability and poor chipping resistance. Cracking is a phenomenon produced when the internal steam pressure of the castable increases beyond its strength during the drying period. It is closely related to the diffusion rate of steam, that is, the air permeability of the pouring body. For this reason, the oven-drying curve should be controlled within 200°C in the first 4 days, and the temperature should be lower at the beginning, and the oven-drying should be operated with slight positive pressure. The practice has proved that this method effectively overcomes the cracking and lays an extremely favorable foundation for the subsequent heating of the oven-drying.

The type and amount of cement, refractory powder and light aggregate used in lightweight castable refractory are not the same, so are their functions. The reduction of water consumption and the improvement of strength with the addition of water-reducing agent are remarkable. The addition with small bulk density can reduce the volume density of castable and improve its heat insulation function, but the strength is reduced twice, and the more the dosage is, the more significant it is. Therefore, according to the working conditions of the furnace and the position of castable, the reasonable selection of lightweight refractory castable can achieve the intention of energy saving.

The manufacturing and molding of lightweight refractory castables are essentially the same as refractory castables. The difference is that the bulk weight of light aggregate is small, easy to absorb water, so the weight of light aggregate should be weighed, poured into the forced mixer, first add half of the water, wet mixed evenly, then add refractory powder and cement, and add the rest of the water mixing. When forming, aggregate is easy to float up, forming layers, so the vibration time to be shorter, should be controlled. Lightweight refractory castable sales shall be maintained in a wet environment after initial setting in accordance with a professional process. 1 day after the removal of mold, Portland cement and CA-50 cement lightweight refractory castable samples, should be maintained for 6 days and 2 days. Then, check its functionality. The drying compressive strength is greater than 6Mpa. With the increase of heating temperature, the strength decreases. When it reaches 1300℃, the strength increases, which is caused by the sintering of powder.

This series of refractory castable is easy to construct and is the most ideal product for alkali resistant parts at high temperature. Mainly according to the porosity, binder, aggregate classification. In practice, it is often classified by the use of temperature or functional characteristics. According to the porosity, there are two kinds of dense castable material and insulation burning material with the porosity not less than 45%. According to the binder there are hydraulic binding, chemical binding, coagulated binding castable. There are clay aggregate, high alumina aggregate, silicon aggregate, alkaline aggregate, special aggregate and insulation aggregate.

Construction of High-Strength and High-Alumina Mullite Castables

June 16, 2021June 29, 2020 by rsrefractorycastable

When selecting refractory materials, the technical performance requirements of refractory materials must be put forward according to the specific conditions of the furnace. The Rongsheng refractory castable manufacturer believes that the technical performance of the refractory used in the bloom heating furnace should be considered. Such as high softness, resistance to rapid cold and heat, small linear change, high strength at room temperature, medium-temperature, and high temperature, and slag resistance in several aspects. Therefore, high-strength and high-alumina mullite castables are the best choices. In this castable, part of mullite and additives are added. In order to promote the formation of a large number of mullite as much as possible, and to ensure high strength at room temperature, medium-temperature and high temperature, and good construction performance. The properties of high-strength and high-alumina mullite castables are shown in Table 1.

Requirements for On-site Construction of High-Strength and High-Alumina Mullite Castables

In order to obtain the expected effect of mullite castable, in addition to reasonable design and good quality of the castable itself, the construction quality is also an important factor.

(1) Preparation before construction

High-strength and high-alumina mullite castables are formulated with multiple components. Active composite ultrafine powder and a small amount of pure calcium aluminate cement are added, which is more active. Therefore, the storage conditions and time requirements are relatively high, and it must be strictly protected from moisture. If the packaging is damaged or affected by moisture, it is not allowed to use. Its storage period should not exceed two months from leaving the factory. Construction machinery must be cleaned up to ensure the normal operation of construction machinery, such as forced mixers, vibrating rods, scales, and drill drills.

(2) Installation of anchor bricks

The arrangement of anchor bricks in the refractory castable lining must be horizontal and vertical. The proper distance is 400～500mm. The anchor bricks should be fixed during construction, and they should not be displaced due to construction forces. In order to prevent displacement, wooden wedges can be used for positioning.

(3) Setting of expansion joints

Expansion joints are determined according to the linear rate of change of mullite castable and experience. The high-strength and high-alumina mullite castable is reserved for 4 to 5 mm per meter of cast body. After pouring, the outside of the expansion joint should be covered and sealed with clay bricks. After putting into production, there should be no fire, and the plugging material should be easy to melt.

(4) Construction of mullite castable

Before construction, the operator should be able to grasp the operating points and quality requirements of each process. After the ingredients are added to the mixer, dry mix and mix for 1 minute, and then add water. If the material is too dry or too thin, it will affect the quality. Generally, it can be kneaded into a dough and made into a slurry by hand. It is strictly forbidden to add water temporarily when pouring out of the tank. Once the amount of water added is determined, it should not be changed easily to ensure the consistency of each mixing.

Generally, the stirring time is 5 minutes, too long or too short is not good. The mixed castable should be poured immediately, and parked in the middle should not exceed 20 minutes. The pouring material should be laid evenly at the construction site, and the formwork, expansion board, anchor brick, and other facilities should not be touched and dislocated due to excessive force.

Generally, the vibrating rod is used to vibrate the material about 300mm, and each part should be re-slurried. When pulling out the vibrator, you should lift it slowly to avoid leaving holes. If you find that there is no vibration, dig out and re-tighten it. After pouring, the surface of the pouring body does not need to be polished.

Normally, it is naturally maintained for 2 to 3 days, and it is strictly forbidden to step on or touch it during the maintenance period. When the castable is solidified, vent holes should be pierced in time to help eliminate water vapor. The mold can be demolded after confirming that it has sufficient strength.

Oven-drying after On-site construction of high-strength and high-alumina mullite castable

The quality of the lining on-site pouring is of course very important, but the baking quality of the lining is directly related to the success or failure of the castable application. The pouring body contains a large amount of free water and crystal water, which need to be fully removed by the oven-drying, which is an extremely important link for the longevity of the furnace lining. As the volume and pressure increase sharply when the moisture becomes water vapor, if the baking temperature rises too fast, it will cause the furnace lining to crack, peel off or explode.

High-strength and high-alumina mullite castables are dense and high-strength types, with low porosity, and it is not easy to remove moisture. Especially in the removal stage of a large amount of free water in the temperature range of 100-300 ℃, it is easy to cause excessive steam pressure and cause the furnace lining to peel off or explode. Therefore, special attention should be paid, and sufficient time should be given for elimination. As the temperature continues to rise, free water and crystal water are continuously removed. When it reaches 500 ℃, the moisture content of the castable only accounts for about 10% of the total water content.

Therefore, the temperature of the castable should be slow before 600℃, and there should be enough holding time. After 1000 ℃, mullite began to form in large quantities. After the formation of the primary crystals of mullite is basically completed at 1300 ℃, the mullite grains continue to grow so that the castable is densified, the bonding force increases, and the strength increases. On the basis of summing up the experience of the last few oven-drying, we assigned four working teams to oven-drying. Record the temperature changes and fuel consumption of the heating section, soaking section, and preheating section every hour. Finally, through everyone’s joint efforts, the oven-drying task was completed satisfactorily. It can be seen that the oven-drying after the on-site construction of high-strength and high-alumina mullite castables is a very important step, and it is also a step that requires more attention and careful operation!
