There are many kinds of insulation products, including foam, mineral cotton products, foam glass, expanded perlite insulation products, EPS powder EPS insulation film, mineral spray cotton, foam cement insulation products. Selection of insulating materials in the construction of the common types of applications and design selection should be consistent with GB / T 17369-1998 "building insulation materials, application types and basic requirements" requirement.
In addition to the material should consider the thermal conductivity of the material, but also should consider the material of water absorption, combustion performance, strength and other indicators. The performance characteristics of different insulation materials see the corresponding classification guide.
Refractory material refractoriness of not less than 1580 ℃ of a class of inorganic non - metallic materials. Refractory degree refers to the refractory cone specimen in the absence of load conditions, resistance to high temperature effect without softening the melting of the Celsius temperature. Refractory materials are widely used in the metallurgical, chemical, petroleum, machinery manufacturing, silicate, power and other industrial fields, the largest in the metallurgical industry, accounting for 50% of the total output of 60%.
Frequently used special materials are AZS refractory brick, corundum brick, directly combined with magnesia-chrome brick, silicon carbide brick, silicon nitride combined with silicon carbide brick, nitride, silicide, sulfide, boride, carbide and other non-oxide refractories ; Calcium oxide, chromium oxide, alumina, magnesium oxide, beryllium oxide and other refractories. Frequently used insulation refractory abrasive
Refractory materials are diatomite products, asbestos products, thermal panels and so on.

Insulation material is used for building envelope or thermal equipment, the heat transfer of the material or material complex, including both insulation materials, including cold materials. Insulation brick on the one hand to meet the building space or thermal equipment, the thermal environment, on the other hand also saves energy. Therefore, some countries will be adiabatic materials as coal, oil, natural gas, nuclear energy after the "fifth largest energy." A material with a strong resistance to heat flow. Mainly used for housing construction of the wall, roof or industrial pipes, furnaces and other insulation and insulation. According to the principle of insulation is divided into:
① porous material. The gas with a small thermal conductivity is filled with adiabatic pores. Generally the air is the thermal resistance medium, mainly the fibrous aggregation organization and the porous structure material. Foam plastic insulation is better, followed by mineral fibers (such as asbestos), expanded perlite and porous concrete, foam glass.
② Reflective material. Such as aluminum foil can rely on thermal reflection to reduce radiation heat transfer, a few layers of aluminum foil or paper with a thin layer of composite structure, can also increase the thermal resistance. Insulation materials are often used in the form of loose materials, coils, plates and prefabricated blocks for the insulation and insulation of roofs, facades and floors of buildings. Can be directly masonry (such as aerated concrete) or on the roof and envelope for the core material, but also paved into the ground insulation layer. Fiber or granular insulation material can be filled in the wall, can also be sprayed on the wall, both adiabatic, sound absorption, decoration and fire and other effects.

How to Choose Refractory Bricks Used for Different Parts of Blast Furnace


Refractory Brick

How to choose refractory brick used for different parts of blast furnace?
When choosing refractory brick used for different lining parts of blast furnace, we should follow some principles. The refractory lining of every part should fit the parts thermal current intensity, so that the lining can maintain previous vertebral shape and stability under the impact of strong heat flux.

Here are some methods of selecting refractory brick for every part of furnace lining.

(1) Furnace throat. It mainly needs to withstand impact and abrasion of burden, so generally we use steel brick or water cooling steel brick for the furnace throat.

(2) The upper shaft. Plus the burden descent and ascending gas flow of scour and wear. Therefore, we should choose resistance to chemical erosion and abrasion resistance of refractory material, the most appropriate is high relative density brick, high density, high aluminum brick or phosphoric acid impregnated clay brick.

(3) The middle and lower part of furnace and furnace bosh. The main mechanism of damage is thermal shock, high temperature gas scouring, and impact of alkali metals, zinc and carbon deposition, as well as chemical erosion of the initial slag. For those three parts, we should choose refractory materials with properties of thermal shock resistance, slag erosion resistance and erosion prevention. For blast furnace whose volume is smaller than 1000m3, we can use aluminum carbon refractory bricks used in blast furnace.

(4) Furnace bosh. Hot gas erosion and iron slag erosion are the main reasons for furnace bosh damage, this part of the heat flux intensity, refractory material life not long (as long as 1 to 2 months, as short as 2 to 3 weeks), generally used in refractory degree is high, load softening temperature is high and the volume density of refractory material, such as the high aluminum brick, alumina carbon brick.

(5) Hearth tuber. This site is only in blast furnace of oxidation reaction area, high temperature from 1900 to 2400 DEG C, lining by damage caused by high temperature thermal stress. Composite brick masonry hearth tuyere zone is adopted by the modern blast furnace, material for high alumina, corundum Mo mullite; corundum and silicon nitride combined silicon carbide, useful also hot pressed carbon block.

(6) The lower part and bottom of hearth. For those two parts, we use hot pressing small carbon brick, micro porous carbon brick, and hot semi graphite carbon brick with high thermal conductivity, good resistance to penetration, good resistance to chemical erosion, low porosity and micro aperture, as well as brown corundum or gray corundum brick used for ceramic cup.

Basic properties of refractory material for steel making

refractory material
refractory material
As we all know that refractory material is of various kinds and is widely used and also of great importance in steel industry. The following are some refractories commonly used in steel industry summarized by Changxing Refractory engineers.

(1) Refractories for converter
Magnesia carbon brick is used for furnace cap, tapping converter mouth, before and after the surface, weld pool and bottom; high strength magnesia carbon brick is used for trunnion and slag line. Usually the MgO content in magnesia carbon brick is 70 ~ 75%, graphite is 16 ~ 20%, bulk density is 2.8 ~ 2.9 g/cm3, compressive strength is 25 ~ 30 MPa. The elements of high strength magnesia carbon brick are the same elements as magnesia carbon brick, but its compressive strength should be 30 ~ 42 MPa.

(2) Refractories for electric furnace
Furnace hearth, furnace slope and molten pool are overall rammed with magnesia clinker, or constructed with magnesia brick which is made of magnesia carbon brick and tar asphalt; high-quality magnesia carbon brick is used for hot and slag line area; magnesia brick and magnetite chrome brick are used for tapping hole and the two sides of furnace door; high alumina bricks or high alumina uncalcined brick are used for furnace cover.

(3) Refractories for UHP EAF
For permanent lining of ultra high power EAF, using magnesium stone; for furnace doorjamb, using magnesia chrome brick; for slag line, eccentric bottom and molten pool, using magnesia brick; for hot spots, furnace wall and tapping hole, using magnesia carbon brick; for furnace cover, using high alumina brick; for tapping hole filler, using high ankerite filling material.

According to the working conditions of various steel furnaces, it can be proved that the refractory material for steel making working circumstance is very bad. Therefore, whatever refractories are used, it must possess the following properties.
(1) High temperature resistant and high refractoriness.
(2) Erosion and erosion resistance to high temperature molten steel and slag.
(3) The steelmaking furnace works discontinuously, thus requires refractory materials for furnace with good thermal shock resistance and spalling resistance.
(4) High mechanical strength, can withstand impact of furnace tilting and furnace charge loading with no damage.

What is refractory castable

refractory castable
refractory castable
Refractory castable is premixed combinations of refractory aggregates, matrix components or modifiers, bonding agents, and admixtures. It is classified in several ways. It is based on chemistries which separates the refractory castable based on alumina and alumino-silicate aggregates such as magnesite and dolomite.

Refractory aggregates constitute the basic skeleton of castable materials , and it is accounted for the largest amount of the formulation. Aggregates size can range from 10 mm to 300 mm. Aggregates are sized and proportioned for getting desired packing and particle distribution. Varieties of refractory material aggregates is workable. Castable is formulated based on one or combined aggregates to realize the desired chemistry, mineralogy, and physical properties.

The bonding agents used for insulating castable refractory  are varieties, including alumino-silicate castable. Calcium aluminium cement is still the main bonding agent for castable. Specialized castables have been developed for more than 20 years, by using non cement bonds such like hydratable alumina, clay, silica and alumina gels, and chemical bonds such like mono aluminum phosphate, phosphoric acid and alkali silicates. Basic castables rely on chemical or organic bonds, the most common types are alkali silicates, sodium phosphates, mineral or organic acids, and resins etc.
