Effect of Si-SiC Additives on Properties of Tap Hole Clay

Abstract:

Non-water taphole clay was prepared by using high alumina ((Al2O3)>85%,Particle Size is 3~1, ≤1 mm),coke, clay, kyanite, Ferrosilicon Nitride Powder and Corundum powder, adding more 15% tar as the binder and Si-SiC (0,4%,8%,12%) to replace Ferrosilicon Nitride. Specimens with dimensions of φ50mm × 50mm and 125mm × 25mm × 25mm were prepared under a uniaxial pressure of 5MPa. The microstructure, high temperature bending strength (600oC,800 oC,1000 oC,1200 oC,1400 oC) and apparent porosity and sinter ability of the tap hole clay were studied. The influence of the substitution content of Si-SiC of the tap hole Clay was also investigated. The results showed that the high temperature bending strength of the samples decreased with the increasing of Si-SiC and apparent porosity almost no changing, but it could still met the need of the actual requirement. The Si-SiC substitution content within 5% of the tap hole clay has also good performance. Through the analysis of the microscopic structure of the tap hole clay, the tap hole clay with Si-SiC has good sinter ability.
