How can refractory material of the electric furnace be used for longer.
I do not know if you are referring to super high power arc furnace for steelmaking, if you are, I have a easy solution for I have been doing this work.
Key: 1, consider the furnace size; As furnace volume differs, pressure of liquid iron (steel) on the crucible wall lining will not the same; 2, consider melting steel type: If different steels are melt, the erosion of steel liquid on the lining refractory is not the same; 3, give full consideration to the lining of the grain size distribution of the refractory material, otherwise, it will cause of refractory matrix size segregation. 4, regardless of the kind of refractory materials, take full consideration into the mineral phrase of refractory material, high temperature and other equal factors. 2011 - 01 - 05 Guangyi mineral
Do not exceed the temperature, do not exceed the limits of use in order to achieve the best performance and the longest service life
Minimize mechanical shock, Electrical furnace commonly referred to must be electrical arc furance. The wall of electric arc furnace should be constrcuted with magnesite carbon brick. Its hearth permanent layer should be constrcuted with mansornary magnesia brick. High alumina brick is usually used to aviod furnace cover suddenly get hot and cold. But its service life is lower. At present integral casting furnace cover is made of alumina magnesia. Terminal will be created even without the use of refractory material. Consumption is much faster if using refractories material or whole knottiing mainly.
