High-aluminum refractories are widely used in high-temperature industries. The following is a detailed description of the application.
I. Steelmaking
High-aluminum blast furnace refractories are used for blast furnace linings, pipes, cast iron necks and other parts. Blast furnaces are important facilities for steel production. The internal temperatures reach several thousand degrees, and the engine must withstand extreme conditions, including high temperatures, high pressures and slag corrosion. High-aluminum refractories have excellent resistance to fire, thermal shock and abrasion, which ensures the long-term stable operation of blast furnaces. Converters are important facilities for steel production and operate in extremely harsh environments. The main applications of high-aluminum refractories in converters include linings, furnace necks and steel outlets. The heat and corrosion resistance of high-aluminum refractories can withstand frequent temperature changes and leakage of molten steel and slag into the converter, ensuring the safety and efficiency of the steelmaking process. An electric furnace is a device that uses electricity to produce steel, and the temperature control is relatively accurate. High-aluminum refractories are mainly used for roofs and walls of electric furnaces. The high fire resistance and excellent insulation properties of high-aluminum refractories can effectively maintain the temperature stability of electric furnaces and improve the efficiency of steelmaking. Ladles Ladles are containers for storing molten steel and operate at extremely high temperatures. The ladle is lined with high-aluminum refractory material, which can resist corrosion and leakage of molten steel, ensuring the quality of molten steel and the service life of the ladle.
2. Non-ferrous metals
High-aluminum refractory materials also play an important role in the smelting of non-ferrous metals. Non-ferrous metals have high melting points, so the smelting process must be carried out at high temperatures. The high toughness and chemical stability of high-aluminum refractory materials can effectively prevent the reaction between non-ferrous metals and refractory materials, thereby ensuring the purity and recovery rate of non-ferrous metals. High-aluminum refractory materials are widely used in non-ferrous metal smelting furnaces, refining furnaces, reverberatory furnaces and other equipment.
3. Glass Industry
Glass furnaces are the main equipment in glass production, and their internal temperatures reach several thousand degrees. The pool walls, pool bottom, blow holes and other parts of the glass melting furnace are made of high-aluminum refractory materials, which can resist the corrosion and erosion of high-temperature liquid glass, ensuring the stability of the glass melting process. Fiberglass Production In fiberglass production, high-aluminum refractory materials are also widely used in drawing furnaces, crucibles and other equipment. This equipment needs to operate at high temperatures for extended periods. The high fire resistance and stability of high-aluminum refractory materials meet the production requirements and ensure the quality and performance of fiberglass.
4. Cement Industry
Cement rotary kilns are important equipment for cement production, and their internal temperatures reach several thousand degrees. High-aluminum refractory materials are used to line rotary kilns, which can withstand high temperatures, abrasion and chemical attack to ensure smooth cement production. At the same time, the excellent insulation performance of high-aluminum flame-retardant materials reduces heat loss and improves energy efficiency.
5. Other industrial areas
Chemical industry
High-aluminum refractory materials are also widely used in chemical equipment such as oil refineries, chemical reactors, and high-temperature pipelines. Its excellent resistance to chemical corrosion allows it to maintain stable performance for a long time even in harsh environments such as high temperature, pressure, and corrosion.
Machinery field
In the mechanical field, high-aluminum refractory materials are used in enamel coatings of high-speed electrical machinery, etc., which can meet the requirements of high temperature, high pressure, and wear resistance.
6. Development trend
With the continuous development of the high-temperature industry and the advancement of technology, the performance requirements of high-aluminum refractory materials are also continuously increasing.
In the future, high-aluminum refractory materials will be developed to improve fire resistance, thermal shock resistance, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity.
At the same time, with the increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements, the production of high-aluminum refractory materials will also pay more attention to environmental protection and energy conservation. The development of environmentally friendly high-aluminum refractory materials to reduce pollution and energy consumption in the production process will be a future development trend. In short, high alumina refractories play an important role in the high temperature industry and their application areas are extensive and constantly expanding. With continuous progress and innovation, high alumina refractories will continue to show their unique appeal and value in the high temperature industry in the future.
