Abstract

ABSTRACT

This invention relates to a heat insulating article for the treatment of molten steel comprising a basic mixture of 50 to 95% by weight of refractory materials, 0.5 to 40 % by weight of inorganic fibrous materials and 1 to 10 % of binder, characterized by including 1 to 10% by weight of a chrome-containing material in terms of chrome oxide (Cr2O3).

Description

~0~2 The present invention relates to an improvement in or relating to a heat insulating article for the treatment of molten steel.
When treating molten steel such as in receiving, transporting, casting and ingot making thereof there is used, in place of vessel or hot top portion of ingot case where a heat retention is required, a ~eat insulating article which is a board-like moulding of a mixture of 50-95~o by welght of refr&ctory materials, 0.5 - 40~ by weight of inorganic fibrG~s materials and 1 - 10~ by weight of binder and in additlon 0.5 -8% by weight of organic fibrous materials if circum-stances require, instead of conventional lining con-sisting of only refractory materials. -~or example, . .
- in ladle, steel melting vessel such as tundish, casting article and the hot top portion of ingot case there is applied, as means for making up for heat-retaining effect which is in short for refractory -brick alone, a lining in which acid, neutral or basic refractory materials such as siliceous sand, olivine, chamotte, sillimanite, alumina, bauxite, magnesia, brick powder, diatomaceous earth, perlite and other rocks are mixed with asbestos, rock wool, slag wool, ; kaolin fiber and the like as inorganic fibers, and if -~ circumstances require said mixture may include organic fibers such as pulp, sawdust, cotton flocks and other fiber flocks, the mixture is added and further mixed with binders such as resin, glue, starch, sugars, sulfite pulp waste liquor, clays, water glass, ~0 aluminium phosph~te and colloidal silica, the mixture .

is then moulded to a flat board, curved board, and a round or square cylinder, and finally it is dried for solidification. The inorganic fibers in the mixture components have effect of reducing the bulk specific gravity, of mouldings to lower the heat volume and thermal conductivity ænd decreasing heat radiation of the molten steel. Since such mouldings are a substance where comparatively low melting point materials of various silicates hzve naturally been fiberized or silicates having low melting point have artificially been fiberized, however, they are short of refractori-ness thereby causing a lowered refractoriness oi the mouldings in their entirety and producing affinlty to molten slag. In other words there is a disadvantage that such mouldings are likely tc be subjected to erosion by slag. Conventionally an adiabatic heat retention board is not of permanent lining but consumable property, and life period of a certain e~tent, e.g. working period as clear use limit is definite by the life of nozzle as in the tundish for the continuous cast ng of steel. When replacing the nozzle, lining also need be changed simult&neously, and purpose will be answered if the nozzle has a ~trength sufficient to effect an adiabatic heat retention for only the nozzle life. According to the improvement of nozzle, however, its life has been elongated and also the desired life of adiabatic lining material has become to require a long time.
Nevertheless, to increase a refractoriness without lowering the heat retaining properties Gf adiabatic

lining material it is impossible to lengthen the use -period of moulded heat retaining board with only the above-mentioned inorganic ~ibers because of their low refractory degree, egcept that some ?articular of the inorganic fibers, and at present carbonaceous fibers onl~r are samewhat satisfactory, However, there 2, e disadvantages that carbonaceous fiber is expensive and that according to the kind of steel, carburisation from said fibers may cause trouble.
In the present invention there is prepared a basic mlxture of known components as metal'urgical refractory heat insulating materials, i.e. of 50 -.
95~ by weight of refractory materials, 0.5 - 40~ by weight of inorganic fibrous materials and 1 - 10~
by weight of binder, and further 0,5 - 8~o by weight of organic fibrous material if circumstances re~uire, and then 1 - 10% by weight of chrome oxide (Cr203) is included in said mixture to increase durability at high temperature. There may be other refractories than chrome o~ide, which are either same or higher in refractoriness, but they are 10~J resistant against the erosion by slag and weak against the spalling of slag. That is, zirconia is weak against basic slag because of acid, electrofused alumina is likely to be eroded by iron o~ide, silicon carbiae is burned in ogidizing atomosphere, and magnesia is ~eak against acid slag because of basic. Thus these refractories may be eroded by slag despite their high ~eat re-sistancy so that they must b~ changed according to the properties of object each time when molten steel ., .

10'7Z131 is treated. Chrome oxide employed in the present invention is of low a~.inity with slag and hardly subject to erosion so that to coat the fiber surfaces with chrome oxide may prevent erosion by slag, stop average wearing from the surface of a heat insulating article when it is used, and avoid sudden lowering of mechanical strength as a lining because initial thickness of the article is maintained thereby de-creasing unexpected accidents such as coming off of the lining, which is caused by shortened thickness in use.
- The chrome oxide employed in the invention may be, besides pure chrome oxide, materials or products containing natural or artificial chromes such as chromite, chrome-magnesite brick, chrome-silica brick and chrome-alumina brick or baked - - -articles of chrome hydroxide recovered from the waste liquor for chrome Jlating. In use they may be crushed. As mixing method of chrome oxide, any will do in uniform mixing over the whole heat insulating article, im~regnating or mixing with the whole surface contacting hot melt, or mixing or impregnating with part of the portion contacting hot melt, particularly the entire thickness of the portion which is in contact - with slag, or a portion near the surface. By mixing the chrome oxide with the known components as refractory heat insulating materials it is possible to lengthen the life of a heat insulating article for heat retention in treating-molten steel. Suitable mixing amount will be in the range 1-10$ in terms of .. ; , .
