Refractory materials for metallurgical kilns are key auxiliary materials that support the efficient operation of steel production. Magnesia carbon brick manufacturers are mainly reflected in the following points:
(1) The safety of production. As a material in contact with molten steel, abnormal damage or excessive erosion of functional refractory materials may cause molten steel to leak and even cause serious safety accidents. Such as leakage caused by excessive corrosion of venting elements, spilled molten steel caused by abnormal fracture during the use of immersion nozzles, flow control failure caused by excessive corrosion of stopper rods, leakage caused by failure of side sealing plate function, etc.
(2) Production efficiency. Refractories for metallurgical kilns are a key link in steel production, and their performance has an important impact on steel production efficiency. Ventilation components, sliding plates damaged in use, functional failures, etc. will be replaced offline, reducing the turnover of ladle; immersion water table, stopper rod, side sealing plate are one of the key control links for the number of continuous casting furnaces, and excessive corrosion of materials , Scouring and abnormal fractures will reduce the number of continuous casting furnaces, thereby affecting the efficiency of steel production.
(3) Billet quality, the functionality of refractory materials for metallurgical kilns is particularly important, and whether its role is played has an important impact on the quality of billets.
The stirring effect of the venting element has an important influence on the uniformity of the molten steel composition and temperature, and promotes alloying; the long nozzle and the immersion nozzle protect the molten steel from secondary oxidation, and the function of the immersion nozzle to control the flow field of the mold can promote the floating of inclusions, Reducing slag entrapment and stabilizing the flow field play an important role; the silicon-free and carbon-free immersion nozzle with anti-clogging function can not only reduce the carbon and silicon increase in the molten steel, but also avoid the adhesion of alumina in the nozzle and reduce the introduction of the billet. Large inclusions; magnesium-carbon immersion nozzle avoids the introduction of alumina inclusions in molten steel, which is beneficial to improve the quality of cord steel.
The turbulence controller with a reasonable structure, the optimization of the combination of weirs and dams, and the use of air curtain walls to reduce dead zones in the tundish can optimize the flow path of the molten steel, promote the floating of inclusions, and improve the quality of the billet; optimize the shape of the stopper rod to improve The sensitivity of molten steel flow control reduces the fluctuation of the liquid level in the mold and reduces the possibility of slag entrapment; the integral stopper rod head is equipped with an argon channel, which can also reduce the adhesion of alumina and improve the quality of the billet.
Therefore, the performance and service behavior of refractory materials used in metallurgical kilns have an important impact on the safety and efficiency of steel production, especially the production of high-quality steel.
