Benefits of technology

This patented technology describes adding special materials called CNTs (carbon nano tubules), such as SiC fibers, along with various fillings like sand grains, ceramics, etc., to create an improved type of metal-casting used in industry. These new compositions help absorb tensile stresses without losing their strength over longer periods of use. Additionally, these techniques allow for easier handling and manufacturing processes while still providing durability against damage. Overall, they provide technical benefits including increased efficiency, reduced cost, better quality control, enhanced mechanical properties, less harmful emissions, and ease of application.

Problems solved by technology

This patents discuss various technical problem areas related to producing strong steel making processes such as blasts furnace steelmakers. Current methods involve casting crucibles containing metal called ferrochromium into these systems at very fast speeds while maintaining their strength over many years through repeated cycles of thermal shock and impact between hotter parts and cooler parts. Additionally, current solutions require expensive specialty alloys like aluminum nitride ceramics, leading to increased costs associated with maintenance work and reduced safety hazards.

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of a refractory castable, and particularly relates to a castable for a blast-furnace tapping channel and a preparation method thereof. The castable comprises the following components: 55-80wt% of fused brown corundum, 8-21wt% of silicon carbide, 0.01-5wt% of carbon source, 2-8wt% of alpha-alumina micro powder, 1-7wt% of fused white corundum, 0.5-5wt% of silica powder, 1-5wt% of calcium aluminate cement, 0.3-4wt% of elemental silicon powder, 0.01-0.4wt% of water reducing agent, 0-0.2wt% of organic fibers and 0-0.2wt% of aluminum powder. The preparation method comprises the steps of dry-blending the components for 10-180 seconds, additionally adding water accounting for 4-6wt% of the raw materials, and stirring for 1-8 minutes so as to obtain the castable. Carbon nanotubes are introduced to the castable for the tapping channel so as to partially or totally replace spherical asphalt and be uniformly distributed in the castable, and can be filled into tiny gaps so as to improve the compactness of the castable, so that the anti-erosion and anti-scouring properties of the castable are improved, toxic smog formed in the process of baking the spherical asphalt is reduced, and the body injury of workers and the environmental pollution caused by the toxic smog are reduced; the castable has the characteristics of excellent properties, long service life and environmental friendliness.
