Research and Application of Corundum Based Self-Flowing Castable Refractories

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of different deflocculants, fume silica, reactive micro-alumina powder and high alumina cement on the flowability of corundum based self-flowing castables were investigated using brown corundum as the main starting materials. The behavior of the castables was evaluated according to the self-flow value of the castables. The results showed that the best self-flow characteristics of corundum based self-flowing castables is obtained using sodium hexametaphosphate as deflocculant, suitable amount of alumina micropowder, fume silica, and high alumina cement as binders. The resultant castables were successfully used in the bottom of a refining ladle with capacity of 80 tons. The service life could match that of well blocks and meet the production requirements.
