  • Ladle Well Block

    In modern metallurgical process, air blowing smelting technique is adopted, steel ladle purging plug pocket blocks are an important functional component for this step, steel ladle purging plug pocket blocks should have the following characteristics:

    1. High temperature erosion resistance
    Refinery steel ladle requires very strict standards on smelting temperature and time, the max. temperature can reach to more than 1750℃. During refinery process, molten slag alkalinity has great influence on refractory materials’ service life. Steel ladle refinery slag’s alkalinity varies between 0.6~0.4, so refractory material will suffer the erosion of acid slag and basic slag which have high permeability at high temperature, and has a quick damage speed.
    2. High temperature abrasion resistance
    All kinds of steel ladle refinery methods all adopt compulsory stirring, which will cause severe high temperature abrasion to pocket bricks.
    3. Spalling resistance
    Because of intermittent operation, temperature fluctuation is very large, which easily generate thermal spalling and structural spalling, working condition is very harsh. So currently used steel ladle purging plug pocket bricks’ performance such as high temperature erosion resistance and spalling resistance should be improved.

    Steel Ladle Pocket Bricks Application

    Steel ladle purging plug can be divided into built-in type integral purging plug and externally fitted purging plug combination type. To prolong purging plug’s service life, enhance it’s safety coefficient and ensure no steel leaking and permeation, no matter for externally fitted purging plug or built-in purging plug, pocket bricks play and important role and should be carefully chosen.

    Pocket bricks are mainly used for continuous casting tundish and matched with nozzle bricks. Pocket bricks have high etching resistance, won’t distort or crack when coupled with zirconia metering nozzle.

  • Purging Plug Bricks

    As air supply component is important functional refractory material of steel smelting, different materials and structures of air supply bricks can be used for different smelting vessels and operation conditions. There are mainly two kinds of purging plug bricks now: one is converter and electric furnace purging plug, the other is steel ladle purging plug brick. They are significantly different in working condition, using requirements, so the materials, structure and manufacturing crafts of them are different.

    Converter And Electric Furnace Purging Plug

    Converter bottom blowing gas supply component is important refractory material for top and bottom combined blowing craft, it plays an important role in smelting process. Top and bottom combined blowing converter’s gas supply component is magnesia carbon purging plug, which is installed at converter bottom. Currently, mainly used converter purging plug is isostatic pressing molded magnesia carbon air supply brick. This kind of purging plug brick has small expansion coefficient, good spalling resistance and long service life.

    Electric furnace bottom blowing air supply components can be divided into two types. One is direct stirring system air supply bricks, which is similar to converter magnesia carbon containing, high pressure formed, sectionally combined air supply bricks. The other is indirect stirring system air supply components. Purging plug won’t contact with steel liquid directly, and air is supplied by surface air permeable ramming mass. Compared with direct stirring air supply component, indirect stirring air supply component’s service life is longer, and requires large flow rate purging plug bricks.
