Abstract:
A method for forming resin coated refractory aggregates and the resulting resin coated aggregates which can be used for forming refractory shapes such as furnace linings, bricks, etc. The process includes contacting a heated refractory material in particulate form with a resin or resin solution which is then shaped or projected or otherwise compacted, exhibiting high green strength when cold pressed. Substantially reduced organic emissions are the result.
Abstract:
A re-usable alumina-magnesia-graphite type refractory suitably used for a refractory for continuous casting, such as a long nozzle used for pouring a molten metal from a ladle capable of re-use or intermittent use to a tundish, an immersion nozzle used for charging a molten metal from a tundish to a mold and a long stopper for controlling the flow rate of the molten steel; and produced by blending 3 to 60 wt.% of magnesia having a particle size of 0.02 to 1.0 mm to a compound comprising mainly alumina and graphite, and kneading, molding and baking the compound. The raw material compound comprising mainly alumina and graphite can contain spinel or zirconia.
Abstract:
A seizure repairing material comprising 1 to 20 parts by weight of bisphenol or p-alkylphenol as a fluidization aid and 5 to 40 parts by weight of a material for hot forming carbon bonds per 100 parts by weight of a refractory material. The repairing material is excellent in hot spreadability, curability and bondability, provides good properties to a work, and improves durability of a seizure material. Moreover, the repairing material is free from changes with time such as solidification in summer, and sedimentation and separation for easy transportation and storage, is easy to handle and work, and enables a seizure work to be done within a short time. Therefore, it can be used effectively as a seizure repairing material for hot repairing various refining furnaces, molten metal containers, and so forth.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the area of and concerns a method for producing oxygen-containing hard materials, which can be used for instance in bearings. The invention has the task of providing a simple method for producing oxygen-containing hard materials with stoichiometric and substoichiometric compositions. According to the invention, this is done by grinding with carbon and homogenizing an oxide of the metals of the IV and V subgroup of the PTE, or mixtures of oxides of the metals of the IV, V and VI subgroup, or one or more metals of the IV and/or V subgroup or of the IV and V and VI or of the IV and VI or of the V and VI subgroup and one or more oxides of the metals of the IV, V and VI subgroup, the powder mixture being heated continuously or discontinuously at a temperature of up to 2,500 DEG C.
Abstract:
Ceramic compositions which are of particular value in the handling or casting of steel, for example as lining materials or for producing nozzles or shrouds used in continuous casting, comprise a mixture of particles of boron nitride, zirconium diboride and at least one other refractory material, bonded together by carbon produced by the decomposition of an organic binder such as a resin or pitch. The other refractory material may be for example a refractory metal, an oxide, a carbide, a boride or a nitride. Zirconium oxide containing compositions comprising 5-70 % by weight boron nitride, 5-60 % by weight zirconium diboride and 5-80 % by weight of zirconium oxide are particularly suitable for forming at least that part of a nozzle which in use is at the slag line in a molten steel vessel. Aluminium oxide containing compositions comprising 5-70 % by weight boron nitride, 15-50 % by weight zirconium diboride and 10-70 % by weight aluminium oxide are particularly suitable for forming the inside of nozzles as they resist alumina build up and prevent clogging of the nozzles.
Abstract:
A glaze composition for refractory materials which comprises at least one lead free and barium free borosilicate, borophosphate or phosphate glass frit having a dilatometric softening point of below 600 DEG C; aluminium powder or an aluminium alloy powder; silicon powder or silicon alloy powder; an inhibitor; and optionally a refractory filler, a clay or other additives. The glaze composition is of particular use as a glaze for carbon containing refractory materials such as submerged entry nozzles and graphite electrodes.
Abstract:
A refractory comprising 60 to 95 wt % of magnesia or both magnesia and spinel, 3 to 20 wt % of carbon, and 2 to 15 wt % of silicon carbide in which 2 to 50 mu fine particles account for 85 % or more. This refractory prevents a decrease in the amount of contained carbon and minimizes abrasion when heated to high temperatures, because silicon carbide decomposes, when heated, to precipitate carbon which makes up for the loss of carbon in the refractory. This refractory is used for inner lining of vessels for previous treatment of molten pig iron.
Abstract:
A filter including a porous support defining one or more channels therethrough, and a porous ceramic membrane layer on a surface of the porous support defining at least one of the one or more channels. The ceramic membrane layer includes an inorganic ceramic composition having the formula SiM p xp C y N z O m H n , where each M p present is independently selected from a p-block element or a d-block element; p is an integer from 1 to 5; for each M p present, xp is independently from about 0 to about 60; y is from about 0 to about 60; z is from about 0 to about 60; m is from about 0 to about 40; and n is zero or nonzero. At least one of y and z is nonzero when p is zero, and p is nonzero when y and z are both zero.
