What are the commonly used binders for aluminum-magnesium castables?

In recent years, the rapid development of ladle refining and continuous casting technologies has transformed the ladle into both a vessel for holding molten steel and a refining unit. This has significantly extended the residence time of molten steel within the ladle and led to higher tapping temperatures and more rigorous smelting conditions, resulting in […]

Process Improvement of Refractory Materials for the Slag-Blocking System of a 120t Converter

1.Converter slide-gate slag-blocking process A key technology for producing clean steel is slag-free tapping, specifically the use of a slide-gate slag-blocking system at the converter taphole. Because the slide gate operates rapidly, it effectively blocks both initial and final slag during the tapping process. Furthermore, by integrating infrared slag detection with PLC control technology, the

EBT tapping outlets and types of refractory materials used for EBT tapping outlets

EBT tapping hole EBT (Eccentric Bottom Tapping) technology, also known as eccentric bottom tapping, was successfully developed in 1978 by the German companies Mannesmann-Demag and Thyssen. EBT technology involves adding a tapping hole to the furnace bottom at the rear of the furnace, 20–60 cm from the furnace wall. The tapping hole consists of two

Submerged entry nozzle (SEN)—one of the three major components for continuous casting

In continuous casting technology, a submerged entry nozzle (SEN) is installed between the tundish and the mold to improve the quality of the cast strand. Its primary functions are: (1) preventing secondary oxidation and nitridation of the molten steel, as well as splashing; (2) regulating the flow pattern and injection speed of the molten steel;

Several requirements that require special attention during converter lining

Large and medium-sized converters in steelmaking projects are characterized by energy saving and high efficiency. Therefore, they are widely used in newly built, improved, and expanded steel plants both domestically and internationally, such as the 320t converter at a steel plant in Dangjin, South Korea, the 280t converter at a steel plant in Handan, and

Current status and existing problems of modern electric arc furnace steelmaking technology

The most feasible decarbonization path for the steel industry is currently considered to be green electricity-green hydrogen DRI-electric arc furnace (EAF). Many European steel companies are conducting pilot or industrial trials. However, the high cost of hydrogen and green electricity production, coupled with the lack of carbon tax implications, has hindered the rapid implementation of

Steel furnace lining: How to select among four refractory materials—silicon, magnesium, aluminum, and spinel?

With the development of induction furnaces in the cast steel industry, the application of aluminum-magnesium spinel-type refractory materials has gradually gained prominence since the 1980s. Currently, crucible-type induction furnaces used in the cast steel industry across industrialized nations predominantly employ spinel-type refractories. In recent years, some cast steel enterprises in China have also adopted spinel-type

How to classify the acid, alkali and neutral properties of refractory materials

Refractory materials are classified into neutral, alkaline and acidic. Whether it is refractory bricks or refractory castables, these three properties are also used to distinguish them. Neutral refractory materials are composed of alumina or carbon. Products include high-alumina, corundum, and carbon refractory bricks and castables. Acidic refractory materials are composed of silicon oxide. Products include
