1. Damage mechanism of furnace bosh, furnace waist and lower part of furnace lining and selection of new refractory materials
The bosh, furnace waist and lower part of the furnace body have been scoured by the gas flow for a long time, the wear of the furnace charge, the penetration of alkali metal and zinc vapor, in addition to the erosion of FeO primary slag and the thermal shock damage caused by temperature fluctuations. Working conditions are harsh. The service life of the bosh and lining of the furnace waist is the lowest in the blast furnace, and the normal production of the blast furnace is mainly completed by hanging slag. Therefore, nitrogen oxide combined refractory materials are used for the working lining of the furnace strands, furnace waist and lower part of the furnace body. According to the usage conditions in different countries for decades, the available high-quality lining materials include silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide bricks, Sialon bonded silicon carbide bricks, and in 2007, China Baosteel 4# blast furnace adopts special dense Type copper cooling plate + graphite brick lining structure.
The design concept of choosing a special dense copper cooling plate + graphite brick lining structure is to form a high thermal conductivity layer, which will help to form solidified slag skin on the hot surface of the lining at this part, thereby reducing the temperature of the lining and preventing Harmful elements in the furnace corrode the furnace lining, so that the furnace lining and cooling system are protected. This material has better self-lining and self-protection effects. This kind of use will be promoted after successful use.
The erosion of silicon nitride bonded silicon carbide bricks and Sialon bonded silicon carbide bricks was measured for 9 months.
Theron works best when combined with Carbonated Cinnamon Bricks. Therefore, Z=2 sialon bonded silicon carbide bricks are selected for the furnace bosh and furnace waist. The furnace waist and the lower part of the furnace body are built by interlocking the inner and outer layers of Sialon bonded silicon carbide bricks and fired aluminum carbon bricks. This structure gives full play to the anti-corrosion and anti-permeability of silicon carbide bricks in the working layer and the high thermal conductivity of fired aluminum-carbon bricks, which is conducive to the formation of a slag shell protective layer on the working lining to extend the furnace waist furnace The service life of the lower part of the body.
2. The damage mechanism of the furnace lining and the upper part of the furnace and the selection of new refractory materials
The middle and upper parts of the furnace body are still infiltrated and eroded by alkali metal and zinc vapor, and will be directly worn by furnace charge coke and iron ore. The middle part of the furnace body is all made of fired aluminum carbon bricks. The upper part of the furnace body is made of anti-permeation, low porosity, high strength, and wear-resistant phosphate-impregnated clay bricks.
