  • Corrosion of Refractories by Denis A
    A Chapter in the Refractories Handbook, edited by Charles A. Schacht, and to be published by Marcel Dekker, Inc., New York, NY 10016 Corrosion of Refractories by Denis A. Brosnan, PhD, PE Clemson University Clemson, SC 29634-0971 Introduction Refractories are used at elevated temperatures for structural purposes and they are used in many cases to contain a high temperature corrosive environment. This corrosive environment usually contains liquid (melted) phases that participate in chemical reactions with the refractory at the elevated temperatures resulting in refractory consumption or wear. It is usually not immediately obvious, but the oxidation and reduction state of the environment (as “redox” conditions or oxygen “activity”) can participate in and influence the chemical reactions that take place. Along with chemical reactions during corrosion, physical changes occur that may be accelerated by the corrosion process. Corrosion of refractories can be defined for the purposes of this discussion as follows: Corrosion of Refractories – refractory wear by loss of thickness and mass from the exposed face of the refractory as a consequence of chemical attack by a corroding fluid in a process in which the refractory and the corroding fluid react approaching chemical equilibrium in the zone of contact between the refractory and the fluid. It is an essential point that corrosion reactions proceed in a direction toward localized chemical equilibrium. This means that phase equilibrium diagrams can be used to analyze corrosion situations and to predict chemical strategies to minimize corrosion and wear rates. This gives persons interested in refractory corrosion two options. The first is to view corrosion as a chemical and physical process without a detailed application of phase equilibrium diagrams – called the “phenomenological approach”.

The traditional high-temperature synthesis methods have some disadvantages leading to inconstancy of the product composition due to the boron evaporation, degradation of the furnace materials and contamination of the products, high energy losses etc. Here we show the advantages of some untraditional synthesis methods like direct mechanical synthesis and self propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS) in the production of titanium diboride (TiB2), zirconium diboride (ZrB2) and production of dense boron carbide (B4C) based materials. Using SEM, TEM, XRD and analytical chemical methods, it was shown that diborides of titanium and zirconium have appropriate properties for production of dense ceramic materials. Using the method of mechanically-assisted sintering high-dense B4C-based ceramic materials was obtained. It was shown that the mechanical properties of materials obtained by pressureless sintering are close or overcome the corresponding properties of boron carbide densified by the method of hot pressing.

Gangler " Lewis Flight Propulsion Laboratory Cleveland, Ohio NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS WASHINGTON March 2 , 1951 NACA RM E5OG21 NATIONAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR AERONAUTICS RESEARCH MEMORANDUM SOME PROPERTIES OF BERYLLIUM OXIDE AND BERYLLIUM OXIDE - COLUMBIUM CERAMALS By C. F. Robards and J. J . Gangler SUMMARY Because of the potentially excellent refractory properties of beryllium oxide, a brief investigation was made of its short­ time tensile strength at a temperature of 18000 F and relative thermal-shock resistance from temperatures of 18000 and 2000° F to room temperature. The effect of additions of 2, 5, 8, 10, 12, and 15 percent by weight of columbium metal on the thermal-shock resistance of beryllium oxide was studied. Metallographic examination indicated that the metallic phase coalesced into pockets. Beryllium oxide had a tensile strength as high as 6160 :9ounds per square inch at 18000 F. The original columbium underwent a phase change, as indicated by X-ray analysis of the ceramals. The addition of columbium up to 15 percent by weight failed to improve the resistance to thermal shock. The phase change and the failure of the columbium to 'vet the beryllium oxide may explain the poor thermal-shock resistance of these ceramals. INTRODUCTION Beryllium oxide BeO has the highest thermal-shock resistance of the better-known oxide bodies. In an effort to extend the life of this material in thermal shock, an attempt was made at the NACA Lewis laboratory to use a metallic binder in the manner that has been successful in the carbide-tool industry.

FURNACE OPERATIONS The electric arc furnace operates as a batch melting process producing batches of molten steel known "heats". The electric arc furnace operating cycle is called the tap-to-tap cycle and is made up of the following operations: Furnace charging Melting Refining De-slagging Tapping Furnace turn-around Modern operations aim for a tap-to-tap time of less than 60 minutes. Some twin shell furnace operations are achieving tap-to-tap times of 35 to 40 minutes. 10/3/2008 9:36 AM http://www.steel.org/AM/Template.cfm?Section=Articles3&TEMPLATE=/CM/HTMLDisplay.cfm&CONTENTID=12308 Furnace Charging The first step in the production of any heat is to select the grade of steel to be made. Usually a schedule is developed prior to each production shift. Thus the melter will know in advance the schedule for his shift. The scrap yard operator will prepare buckets of scrap according to the needs of the melter. Preparation of the charge bucket is an important operation, not only to ensure proper melt-in chemistry but also to ensure good melting conditions. The scrap must be layered in the bucket according to size and density to promote the rapid formation of a liquid pool of steel in the hearth while providing protection for the sidewalls and roof from electric arc radiation.

    Australian Journal of Basic and Applied Sciences, 3(2): 418-423, 2009 ISSN 1991-8178 Mechanical and Physical Properties of Silica Bricks Produced from Local Materials Mohammed A. Alnawafleh Tafila Technical University Abstract: The samples were prepared by the semi-dry method, moulding pressure was 50N/mm2. After drying at 110EC, the samples were burnt at 1450EC. The fired samples were investigated to determine their physical properties, such as specific gravity, porosity, compressive strength, thermal shock resistance and refractoriness under load (RUL). Results obtained indicated that the compressive strength increases with increasing temperature at 1450EC. A maximum expansion at temperature below 600EC was observed. The test for the shock resistance showed that 9 heat cycles were required at 900EC before destruction. Key words: INTRODUCTION Refractories are ceramics materials of pyrometric cone indicator greater than cone 26(1580EC). Refractory materials are used in the linings of furnaces, kilns, ovens, melting pots ect. to confine the heat to the ware. While chamotte bricks are largely used in the lining of melting pots and the sintering zones of cement kilns, silica bricks find widespread use in kiln roofs where resistance against vapors and gases. Until this time Jordan and other neghbouring countries have not sofar taken up the production of refractory-bricks. Silicon dioxide, which is one of the most abundant materials, occurs in nature primarily as quartz. In combination with basic oxides it froms a large group of minerals known as silcates.
