Refractory materials used in electric furnace cover

Refractory materials used in electric furnace cover

The electric furnace cover (also known as the triangle area of ​​the electric furnace top) is not only subjected to high temperature, but also often subjected to rapid cold and rapid heat, so it not only needs to be resistant to high temperature, but also needs to have a certain degree of thermal shock resistance. Generally speaking, the degree of volume change of a substance due to temperature changes is closely related to the thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity, elastic modulus, and inherent strength of the substance. The smaller the thermal expansion coefficient, the greater the thermal conductivity, and the elastic modulus. The larger and the higher the inherent strength of the material, the better the thermal shock resistance. Choosing the right material to produce the electric furnace cover is not only related to the life of the furnace cover, but also affects the output of the electric furnace production.

The refractory materials used in electric furnace covers in my country include spinel with low expansion coefficient into the material, zirconia is added to mullite and other materials to make use of its phase change to toughen, and steel fiber is added. In recent years, my country has developed various refractory castables to meet the needs of the development of ultra-high-power electric furnaces, such as corundum spinel castables, corundum mullite castables and so on. The integral cast furnace cover uses refractory prefabricated blocks in the triangle area of ​​the electric furnace cover. The main materials are corundum, chromium corundum, high aluminum, and mullite.
