Converter magnesia carbon brick

Changxing Refractory magnesia carbon brick factory is located in the magnesium capital of China, and products with high bulk density and low porosity.

Magnesia carbon brick for converter
Magnesite and graphite as the main refractory raw material for the converter lining made of magnesium carbon refractory material products.
Performance converter magnesia carbon brick with high temperature, slag resistance, good thermal shock resistance, high temperature strength and so on. But its disadvantage is easy to oxidize in use, can be improved by adding antioxidants. Its physical and chemical properties see table.
The main raw material for the production process is fused magnesia or high purity sintered magnesite and high purity graphite. Generally, MgO is larger than or equal to 95%, and the c content in graphite is more than or equal to 94%. With phenolic resin or asphalt as a binder, according to the use of conditions to select the appropriate additives, by ingredients, kneading, molding, heat treatment made after the finished product. (See magnesia carbon brick) used in the smelting process, due to the use of various parts of the converter conditions and damage are different. In order to achieve a balanced corrosion, for different conditions of use of the converter parts, the choice of MgO-C bricks grades and quality are also different.
Furnace mouth, furnace cap parts of the temperature changes drastically, by the slag corrosion is more serious, should use good thermal shock resistance, slag resistance of magnesia carbon brick. Trunnions on both sides in addition to the role of damage when blowing, the surface without covered with slag layer, easy to repair, easy to oxidize the brick. Should be masonry good slag resistance, good oxidation resistance of high quality magnesia carbon refractory brick. Slag line parts and slag long-term contact, by slag corrosion serious, to be masonry and into the direct impact of scrap and molten iron and erosion. Should be used with a strong anti-slag, high temperature strength, good thermal shock resistance of magnesia carbon brick. Hearth, the bottom of the furnace compared with other parts of the erosion of light, the choice of ordinary magnesia carbon brick, when the top and bottom composite blowing technology, especially at the end of CO2, O2 and other gases, the damage is more serious. Should use good oxidation resistance, good thermal shock resistance, high temperature strength, high slag resistance of high-grade magnesia carbon brick. According to the different parts of the converter, the corresponding performance of magnesia carbon brick is to improve the technical indicators of the converter and effective method.

What are the processes for the preparation of magnesium carbon brick

Changxing Refractory is able to manufacture magnesia carbon brick for every ladle, EAF, and BOF. We will design you a well-balanced lining, providing optimal performance at the lowest possible cost. Our magnesia-carbon brick is made from more than 98% electrically fused magnesite, high purity graphite and metallic antioxidants as needed. Size and specification can be tailored according to furnace type.

Magnesium carbon brick is a high melting point of basic oxide oxide (melting point 2800 ℃) and difficult to be slag invasion of high melting point carbon material as raw material, add a variety of non-oxide additives. With carbonaceous binder combination of non-burning carbon composite refractory.

The traditional magnesia carbon brick produced by the synthetic tar binder in the cold mixing process is hardened during the process of tar damage and the necessary strength is obtained, thus forming isotropic glassy carbon. The carbon does not exhibit thermoplasticity, and the thermoplastic properties are eliminated in a large amount of stress during lining or during operation. The bituminous carbon brick produced by the asphalt binder has a high high temperature plasticity due to the formation of anisotropic graphitized coke during the asphalt carbonization process.

Therefore, the use of asphalt combined with the brick crack resistance is higher than the asphalt bonded brick. However, one of the disadvantages of bitumen-bonded bricks is the need for thermal mixing during the production and the provision of a brick mold preheating device. In this paper, the method of making MgO-C bricks  by cold mixing process is described. The resulting bricks have a lower modulus of elasticity so that they act to eliminate stress during operation. Ordinary coal tar pitch is harmful to environmental protection because of the presence of benzophen. The choice of benzene and low content of the special meet the environmental requirements of the binding agent.

In order to improve its oxidation resistance, can be added in the ingredients such as Si powder, Al powder, SiC powder or ferrosilicon powder additives, resin as a binder, high pressure molding, after 200 ~ 300 ℃ treatment can be used without Calcined. Mainly used for large-scale converter and ultra-high power furnace steel lining and furnace refining furnace lining and so on.

With the increase of carbon content, the bulk density and compressive strength of the magnesia-carbon brick are reduced. When the carbon content is between 6% and 8%, the high temperature flexural strength, thermal shock resistance, slag resistance and oxidation resistance of the magnesium carbon brick are good The carbon content is low and the slag resistance of the magnesia carbon bricks manufacturers is reduced. When the carbon content is 14%, the oxidation resistance of the magnesium carbon brick is the worst.
