Effects of Recycling Ladle Lining Materials on Sintering Performance of Al₂O₃-SiC-C Castable for Iron Runner

Abstract:

In this experiment, preparation of samples were based on original ratio of bauxite matrix Al₂O₃-SiC-C castable for iron runner, and partial bauxites of size 8-5 mm, 5-3 mm, 3-1 mm and 2O₃-MgO-C materials from spent ladle bricks, respectively. Effects of particle size and content of the recycled materials on sintering performance of the castable were investigated. The sintering performance was analyzed by measuring apparent porosity, room temperature flexural strength, room temperature pressure strength and high temperature flexural strength. The results showed that the apparent porosity of the samples overall tended to increase with content of the recycling materials increasing, while room temperature flexural strength, room temperature pressure strength and high temperature flexural strength of the samples reduced gradually. 8-5mm and 5-3 mm particle of 5%-15% the recycling Al₂O₃-MgO-C materials was more suitable for the preservation of high temperature flexural strength and room temperature strength of the samples than 3-1 mm and < 0.074 mm particle.
