Non-stick aluminum castable can be applied to a variety of kilns. Aluminum melting furnace is a common application scenario, including furnace bottom, lower furnace wall, slag slope, chute, aluminum ladle and other severely eroded parts, which can effectively prevent the infiltration of aluminum liquid and solve the phenomenon of slag and nodules on the surface of the charge. The front insulation furnace is also one of its application areas. The working layer of its furnace body usually uses non-stick aluminum castable to prevent the penetration of materials. In addition, in some non-ferrous metal casting kilns, such as aluminum smelting furnace, furnace contact with aluminum liquid, aluminum liquid insulation furnace, aluminum liquid lifting ladle and other parts in contact with aluminum liquid, non-stick aluminum castable also plays an important role. Non-stick aluminum castable has the performance characteristics of low impurity content, high density, high strength, high corrosion resistance, high permeability, and no intrusion by aluminum liquid. It can effectively extend the service life of the kiln, reduce the adhesion and penetration of aluminum liquid, reduce the loss of aluminum liquid, and improve product quality. Its application in different kilns is based on comprehensive considerations of factors such as the kiln's working environment, temperature, and degree of contact with aluminum liquid.
Application of non-stick aluminum castables in aluminum melting furnaces
Non-stick aluminum castables are widely used in aluminum melting furnaces. Aluminum melting furnaces are important equipment in the aluminum processing industry. Due to the high activity and strong permeability of aluminum, it is very easy to corrode the refractory castable lining. Non-stick aluminum castables have good resistance to aluminum liquid and magnesium vapor permeability, resistance to rapid cooling and heating, high overall structural strength, high refractory temperature, chemical corrosion resistance, and are not easy to react with aluminum liquid. It can not only reduce the generation of aluminum ash, save aluminum ingots, prevent impurities from entering aluminum liquid and affecting purity, but also extend the service life of aluminum melting furnaces. For example, in domestic aluminum melting furnaces, traditional refractory materials often react with aluminum liquid to generate a large amount of aluminum ash, causing waste and affecting the performance of aluminum alloys. Non-stick aluminum castables can effectively solve these problems, maintain the stability of the furnace lining during the smelting process, and provide guarantees for efficient and high-quality aluminum liquid production.
Application of non-stick aluminum castables in machine-front insulation furnaces
The machine-front insulation furnace is a key equipment in the casting field, used for high-temperature treatment of non-ferrous metals and melting of alloy ingots. Its furnace body is usually in direct contact with the material, and the temperature is as high as thousands of degrees Celsius, so it needs the support of refractory materials. The furnace body consists of a working layer, an insulation layer and an impermeable layer. The working layer usually uses non-stick aluminum castables to prevent material penetration, and the impermeable layer uses impermeable castables to improve the impermeability. The outermost insulation layer uses lightweight insulation castables to reduce heat loss. Reasonable selection of refractory materials can ensure that the machine-front insulation furnace resists the erosion of high temperature and high-temperature molten metal and works normally. For example, according to the actual use, medium, medium melting temperature and other factors, through reasonable furnace lining design and optimization, its performance and efficiency can be improved.
Application of non-stick aluminum castables in non-ferrous metal casting kilns
In non-ferrous metal casting kilns, non-stick aluminum castables play an important role. For different aluminum alloy systems, non-stick aluminum castables need to adapt to their working temperature and composition characteristics. For example, the working temperature of the aluminum melting furnace is generally 700-1200℃, and the maximum temperature of the upper part of the aluminum liquid can reach 1200℃. The components in the aluminum alloy are easy to react with the refractory lining to form a reaction layer, and copper, manganese, zinc, etc. can penetrate into the refractory castable to form a metamorphic layer. Non-stick aluminum castables can resist the shedding of these reaction layers and metamorphic layers, reduce pollution to the aluminum alloy, and increase the service life of the kiln lining. When selecting non-stick aluminum castables, it is necessary to first determine the type of aluminum alloy and the performance and use requirements of the working layer castable.
Selection factors for non-stick aluminum castables in kilns
The selection of non-stick aluminum castables in kilns needs to consider many factors. The first is the working temperature of the kiln. The temperature range of different kilns varies greatly, and non-stick aluminum castables need to have corresponding refractory temperatures. The second is the chemical properties of the materials in the kiln, such as the activity and composition of the aluminum liquid, which determines the requirements for the anti-corrosion and anti-penetration capabilities of the castable. The next is the structure and operation mode of the kiln, such as whether there is mechanical shock, vibration, etc., which affects the strength and wear resistance of the castable. In addition, energy-saving requirements are also one of the important factors in selection. High-quality non-stick aluminum castables can reduce heat loss and improve energy utilization efficiency.
The impact of the performance of non-stick aluminum castables on kilns
The performance of non-stick aluminum castables is directly related to the operation effect and service life of the kiln. Good resistance to aluminum liquid infiltration can effectively prevent aluminum liquid from penetrating, reduce aluminum liquid's erosion of the furnace lining, and reduce the damage rate of the furnace lining. High strength can withstand the impact and pressure of materials in the furnace, and reduce the deformation and damage of the furnace lining. Good thermal stability helps to cope with the frequent heating and cooling process of the kiln, and reduce cracks and peeling caused by thermal expansion and contraction. Low porosity can reduce the penetration of aluminum liquid and other harmful gases, and improve the sealing and safety of the furnace lining. For example, in some large aluminum melting furnaces, the use of high-performance non-stick aluminum castables can significantly extend the service life of the furnace lining, reduce the number of maintenance times, and improve production efficiency and product quality.
Non-stick aluminum castables are widely used in many kilns. Their selection and performance have a key impact on the normal operation, service life, product quality and energy consumption of the kiln. In practical applications, it is necessary to reasonably select non-stick aluminum castables according to the characteristics and requirements of the specific kiln, and ensure the standardization of its construction and maintenance to give full play to its advantages.
