How to Improve the High-Temperature Performance of Corundum-Mullite Castables?
Corundum-mullite refractory castable has the advantages of high softening temperature under load, good chemical stability, and thermal shock resistance. Silicon carbide is widely used as a high-grade refractory raw material for the lining material of industrial kilns such as blast furnaces and heating furnaces. Among refractory materials, alkali resistance, corrosion resistance, high thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, and crusting resistance have always been the focus. High-alumina mullite bricks containing an appropriate amount of silicon carbide have been widely used in the decomposition zone and transition zone of cement rotary kilns, and their service life is 3 to 4 times longer than that of high-alumina bricks. Foreign studies also believe that adding silicon carbide can reduce the formation of low-melting point feldspar mineral phases and make castables have certain self-healing properties.
