Alkalinity: Rising use of basic refractories in the steel-making process
Refractories are categorized into two main types based on their alkalinity, including acidic & neutral refractories and basic refractories, and selection between these materials is determined by the specific application requirements and the operating environment. Acidic and neutral refractories include materials that do not chemically react with acidic substances. They are subcategorized into alumina refractories, carbon refractories, chromite refractories, fireclay refractories, silica refractories, and zirconia refractories. In alumina refractories, alumina content is higher than 45% and is suitable for lining furnaces operating up to 1850°C. Alumina refractories have the advantages of being highly resistant to oxidizing and reducing the atmosphere and are extensively used in heat processing industries. Silica refractories mainly comprise silica, providing excellent resistance to acid slags and high temperatures. However, they are susceptible to basic slag erosion and are commonly used in glass-melting furnaces and coke ovens. Insulation fire bricks, known for their low thermal conductivity and lightweight properties, are primarily used to insulate kilns, furnaces, and other high-temperature processing equipment. They are mostly composed of alumina and silica, placing them within the acidic and neutral refractory category. The key characteristic of acidic refractories, including some insulation fire bricks, is their resistance to acidic slags, making them suitable for environments without exposure to basic (alkaline) compounds.
Carbon-based or containing refractories are significant for their unique properties, such as high thermal conductivity, lower thermal expansion, high resistance to thermal shock, and chemical inertness to the slag. The graphite blocks are recognized for their exceptional thermal conductivity, high-temperature strength, and resistance to thermal shock, and they fall into a unique classification due to graphite's distinct properties. This neutrality comes from graphite's resistance to both acidic and basic slags, making it an invaluable material in applications requiring high chemical inertness at elevated temperatures. Graphite blocks, therefore, are used in environments where their neutral characteristics can be best utilized, such as in the linings of furnaces exposed to varying chemical conditions. Chrome magnesite refractory bricks are produced from sintered magnesia and chrome ore with a refractory level. Alumina is one of the chemically stable oxides, offering excellent hardness, strength, and spalling resistance. Fireclay refractories containing 25% and 45% alumina levels exhibit moderate resistance to acidic and basic slags. They are widely used in ironmaking, blast furnaces, and incinerators. Zirconia-based refractories offer excellent thermal insulation and corrosion resistance. They are often used in glass-melting furnaces and non-ferrous metal industries.
Basic refractories demonstrate high resistance to basic slags and elevated temperatures, which is ideal for alkaline environments. They contain magnesium oxide (MgO) or calcium oxide (CaO) compounds. Basic refractories are subcategorized into dolomite refractories and magnesite refractories. Dolomite refractories of CaO and MgO provide good chemical compatibility with basic slags in steel production settings. Magnesite refractories resist basic slags and temperatures commonly employed in steelmaking processes, such as electric arc furnaces. The choice between acidic & neutral and basic refractories relies on the specific application requirements and operating environment.
Physical Form: Increasing demand for shaped refractories as they offer greater precision and durability compared to unshaped refractories
Shaped refractories, such as bricks, tiles, and special shapes, are pre-formed materials primarily utilized in high-temperature industries, including steel production, glass manufacturing, and cement. They offer excellent mechanical strength and dimensional stability under extreme conditions. Unshaped refractories or monolithic refractories comprise castables, ramming masses, plastic refractories, gunning mixes, and more. They can be molded on-site during installation and cater to industries requiring flexibility and ease of installation.
Unshaped refractories provide rapid application, better thermal shock resistance, and improved cost-effectiveness. While shaped refractories offer superior mechanical strength and dimensional stability at a higher installation cost, unshaped alternatives deliver improved thermal shock resistance with lower installation costs; however, they may lack precision.
Manufacturing Process: Growing use of formed manufacturing process in the refractory production
The refractory industry encompasses a variety of manufacturing processes, including dry press process, formed, fused cast, hand-molded, and unformed, each catering to specific application needs across diverse sectors. The dry press process is used to manufacture bricks and tiles using raw materials with low moisture content. This technique is ideal for high-temperature applications due to its high structural integrity. Formed refractories, known for their excellent thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength, are produced by pressing or extruding raw materials at specific temperatures and pressures. Fused cast refractories are manufactured by melting raw materials at extremely high temperatures and casting them into molds. These products exhibit superior corrosion resistance against molten metals and aggressive slags, making them suitable for glass furnaces or continuous casting operations.
Hand-molded refractories are manually shaped using specialized tools to create complex geometries and customized forms that cannot be produced through conventional methods. Unformed refractories, monolithic or castable refractories, consist of premixed fine refractory grains and binders that enable easy transportation and on-site installation. These products offer rapid installation time, reduced downtime, and cost-saving benefits. The refractory industry offers specialized manufacturing processes that cater to the unique requirements of various sectors.
Application: Exponential importance of refractories in metallurgical processes
Refractories are vital in various industries, providing excellent heat, corrosion, and mechanical wear resistance. Their key applications include glass tanks, lime and cement kilns, metallurgical burners, furnaces, regenerators, and stoves. Glass tanks are crucial components in the glass manufacturing industry, where they function as furnaces to melt raw materials at high temperatures. Refractories play a pivotal role in ensuring these tanks' durability and structural integrity by providing excellent resistance against heat, corrosion, and mechanical wear. Lime and cement kilns are used to process raw materials into lime and cement clinker, respectively. The kilns require refractory materials capable of resisting high temperatures, thermal shock, chemical attack from alkalis and sulfates, and mechanical stress. Durable monolithic refractories are preferred for their superior performance over traditional brick linings.
In metallurgical industries such as steel making or nonferrous metal production, burners, and furnaces need to endure extreme temperatures and corrosive environments while ensuring optimum productivity levels. Therefore, their design requires specialized refractory materials with exceptional thermal, chemical, and mechanical properties. Regenerators are heat recovery devices used in various industries, such as glass manufacturing and power generation, to improve energy efficiency by preheating combustion air or process gas using exhaust gas from burners or furnaces. Refractories used in regenerators should exhibit excellent thermal conductivity, low thermal expansion, and chemical attack and mechanical stress resistance. Stoves are appliances designed for space heating or cooking purposes in residential or commercial settings that require refractory materials to provide efficient heat retention and distribution while minimizing heat loss through the walls. These materials resist thermal shock, have high mechanical strength, and offer good insulating properties.
