Abstract:
When a conventional replacement apparatus is used, 60-90 seconds are required to carry out a replacement operation, so that a molten metal surface in a continuous casting mold is solidified during replacement to cause a joint portion of the molten metal to turn into scrap. The invention apparatus is provided with a slide valve unit (6) adapted to control a discharge rate of a molten metal flowing out from a molten metal container, a retainer cylinder (21) for an immersion nozzle (9) which is supported in a vertical posture on a lower portion of the slide valve unit, and a guide arm (33) supported in a horizontally posture on a piston rod in this cylinder and having a pair of rail members (33a), retaining in a fitted state a nozzle case (10) at an upper end of the immersion nozzle (9), and provided in parallel with each other, an induction guide (32) which extends to the outside of a zone of a mold (12) being provided at one side of the slide valve unit (6), a jig retainer member (52), which detachably holds an immersion nozzle retaining jig (57), being fixed to a rail (51), which extends in the longitudinal direction of the induction guide, in such a manner that the jig retainer member can be moved freely.

Abstract:
The invention provides amorphous refractory materials excellent in self-flowability. The refractory material of the first invention comprises a refractory aggregate, a liquid novolak phenol resin and an organic segregation inhibitor, while the refractory material of the second invention comprises a refractory aggregate and a solution of a novolak phenol resin with a number-average molecular weight of 600 or below. The first invention is directed to attaining a good flowability of the refractory material and inhibiting the sedimentation and segregation of the aggregate, while the second invention is directed to attaining a good flowability of the refractory material, stabilizing the adhesiveness, and preventing the warpage of the hardening product thereof.
Abstract:
A carbonaceous refractory which generates little decomposition gas having a foreign odor, is excellent in spalling resistance and has kneadability and moldability equivalent or superior to those of a phenolic resin; and a process for the production thereof. The above refractory is characterized in that starch sugar and/or reducing starch sugar is used as the binder instead of the phenolic resin used in the prior art. More specifically, the above refractory is produced by using a binder comprising 40 to 80 % by weight of starch sugar and/or reducing starch sugar and 20 to 60 % by weight of water, or a binder comprising 40 to 80 % by weight of starch sugar and/or reducing starch sugar, 1 to 25 % by weight of water, and 5 to 50 % by weight of an alcohol having a boiling point of 80 DEG C or above.
Abstract:
A packing material for refractory capable of restraining the deterioration of working environment since there is generated no smoke and foul smell even if used for setting preheated submerged nozzles or long nozzles, allowing easy visual observation of fitting operation, and maintaining the packing material deformation suppression performance. A packing material for refractory of the present invention is characterized in that a part or the whole surface of a packing base material for refractory formed from inorganic refractory powder, inorganic and/or organic fibrous raw material, and binding agents and/or various types of additives is covered with a metal foil. This packing material may be used together with an inorganic paint or ceramic fiber sheet, and when so used, the metal foil is to be applied to the outermost surface thereof. In addition, a metal foil having recessed and raised portions thereon may be used.
Abstract:
A container part (2) and an electrode part (1) of a conductivity measuring cell are made of ceramic having high corrosion resistance, and the container part (2) is made of insulating ceramic and the electrode part (1) is made of a conductive ceramic having a resistance value of up to several kilo-ohms.centimeters. Ceramic has by far higher corrosion resistance and mechanical strength at both normal and high temperatures than glass and is more inexpensive than precious metals. It can be used under the presence of strong acids and alkalis, can be used under high pressures and at high temperatures, and can further reduce the cost.
Abstract:
A method for spray-working refractory composition solves the problems encountered in conventional dry or wet spraying method. The novel method comprises previously mixing a refractory composition with 1/5 to 3/4 of water necessary for the spray working and adding the rest of water to the mixture in a spray nozzle of a dry spraying gun to mix therein. This method affords a sprayed object with a high density and a high strength of the sprayed layer.
