【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、鉄鋼をはじめとする金属の溶解精錬、廃棄物処理、ガラスやセメントの製造、高温処理などのための窯炉や保持容器、搬送路等の内張りに使用される耐火物に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
耐火物は溶融金属の精錬や保持、材料の熱処理などに広く大量に使用されている。使用開始時、使用終了時には、昇温や冷却などで温度の急激な変化が起こる。また、たとえばバッチ処理の処理間にも急激な温度変化が起こる場合がある。耐火物は熱膨張するため、急激な温度変化に伴って耐火物内部に熱応力が生じ、これによって耐火物が破壊する場合がある。この現象は熱衝撃破壊と呼ばれる。
溶鋼の連続鋳造で溶鋼取鍋からタンディッシュへ溶鋼を導くのに使用するロングノズルやタンディッシュからモールドへ溶鋼を導くのに使用される浸漬ノズルなどでは、熱衝撃破壊がしばしば発生しトラブルとなっている。
【0003】
この問題を解決する手段の一つとして、耐火物マトリックスに炭素繊維収束体を配置した溶融金属用高耐熱高強度パイプが特許文献1に、また内部に貫通孔を有する耐火物に炭素繊維の束又は網状物を巻きつける方法が特許文献2に記載されている。また、繊維どうしあるいは繊維と耐火物を強固に結合させるために、炭素繊維に熱硬化性樹脂を含浸あるいは塗布する方法が特許文献3に記載されている。

【0005】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
これらの方法はいずれも炭素繊維の糸、紐、テープ、トウ、束やこれらからなる網、布、フェルト、ペーパー、マットを使用する。以下ではこれらを炭素繊維の収束体と呼ぶ。これらの収束体はそれ自体に保形性がないか、あるいは乏しく、耐火物表面や内部に思うような形で設置するのが難しいという欠点がある。またこれに派生して、このような保形性がないか、あるいは乏しいものは耐火物表面や内部に直線的に設置することが難しいため、たるみが生じがちである。このため高強度で高弾性率の炭素繊維を使用しても、これを設置した耐火物にプレストレスを掛けることができず、従って十分な破壊防止機能が得られない。また炭素繊維収束体は炭素繊維がほつれやすいので、耐火物を製造する際にばらばらになって用をなさない場合がある。
【0006】
また、これらの収束体は一本一本の繊維の間に大きな空隙があるため、樹脂などを含浸あるいは塗布すると多くの樹脂が吸収されやすく、さながら樹脂の塊の所々に繊維が存在するような組織となる。このようなものは耐火物の使用温度に当たる高温では樹脂中の揮発分がなくなって非常に多孔質となり、強度が低いばかりでなく、また繊維も樹脂起源の炭素も酸化しやすい。
本発明は、熱衝撃などに起因する亀裂が発生しにくい耐用性の高い耐火物とその製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
係る課題を解決するため、本発明の要旨とするところは以下のとおりである。
(1)直径1〜10mm、長さ10mm以上の無機繊維からなる棒状成形体で補強した耐火物であって、前記の棒状成形体が、結合剤としてフェノール樹脂を用いて、無機繊維を束ねて若しくは撚り合わせて若しくは編んで、又はこれをさらに無機繊維若しくは有機繊維で結束して束ねたプリテンションの掛った成形体であり、且つ、前記棒状成形体が長手に平行な直線状、環状又は螺旋状であることを特徴とする無機繊維からなる棒状成形体で補強した耐火物。
(2)棒状成形体が棒状成形体が、前記フェノール樹脂の硬化時に前記無機繊維に張力をかけて作成された棒状成形体であることを特徴とする前記(1)記載の無機繊維からなる棒状成形体で補強した耐火物。
(3)棒状成形体が耐火物の外周の一部または全部に設置されたことを特徴とする前記(1)又は(2)記載の無機繊維からなる棒状成形体で補強した耐火物。

(7)コークス粉中に埋め込んで600℃で3時間加熱した後の質量が、加熱前の質量の5%以上である棒状成形体を用いることを特徴とする前記(1)〜(6)の何れかに記載の無機繊維からなる棒状成形体で補強した耐火物。
(8)棒状成形体を型枠の中で組み立て、又は棒状成形体を組み立てた後に周囲に型枠を設置し、その後型枠の中に流し込み耐火物を流し込むことを特徴とする前記(1)〜(7)の何れかに記載の無機繊維からなる棒状成形体で補強した耐火物の製造方法。
(9)型枠に流し込み耐火物を流し込んだ後、棒状成形体を流し込み耐火物中に挿入することを特徴とする前記(1)〜(7)の何れかに記載の無機繊維からなる棒状成形体で補強した耐火物の製造方法。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
本発明では従来の収束体に代えて、無機繊維からなる棒状成形体を使用する。棒状成形体は保形性があるため、耐火物を製造する際にたるむことがなく、狙いどおりの形状で耐火物表面あるいは内部に設置することができる。また棒状成形体を構成する繊維がほつれることもない。なおここで言う棒状成形体とは、長さ300mm程度の試料を張力を加えることなくスパン200mm程度で水平にさし渡しても変形して落ちない程度のものである。
【0009】
本発明は、たとえば図3に示したような、直径1〜10mm、長さ10mm以上の無機繊維からなる棒状成形体1で補強した耐火物2である。直方体の耐火物2に棒状成形体1が内在することで耐火物を補強している。
耐火物に無機繊維からなる棒状成形体を内在させる、あるいは外部に配すると、棒は引張強度が高いので耐火物が補強される。これにより熱応力で破壊し難くなる。また破壊して亀裂が発生しても、棒状成形体の引き抜き抵抗による架橋効果で亀裂の進展と更に大きな破壊を抑制することができる。
かかる作用効果を発現するために、棒状成形体の直径は1mm以上とすることが必要であるが、10mm超では棒状成形体の酸化や溶損により耐火物全体の耐用性が低下する恐れがある。断面形状には特に制限はなく、たとえば円、楕円、多角形、星型、花形などでも良い。
また、長さは十分な架橋効果を得るために10mm以上とする必要がある。図3のような直線状の場合、棒状成形体の長さは最大でも耐火物の最大寸法までとする。
【0010】
本発明では、無機繊維からなる棒状成形体は、耐火物の内部及び/又は外部に放射状若しくは長手に平行な直線状、環状又は螺旋状の筒状に配置してもよい。棒状成形体は内部と外部の両方に設置してもよく、放射状、長手に平行、環状、螺旋状の2つ以上を組み合わせてもよい。また螺旋は二重以上の螺旋やピッチが逆の螺旋を組み合わせたものでもよい。図1には内部に棒状成形体1が同一円周上に4箇所放射状に内在する場合を、図2には棒状成形体1が長手に平行な直線状に内在する場合を、図4には棒状成形体1が環状に内在する場合を、図5には棒状成形体1が螺旋状に内在する場合をそれぞれ示した。
耐火物は金物と組み合わせた耐火物構造体でもよい。たとえば、芯金あるいは鉄心と呼ばれる鉄製の板や棒を支えとして有するRH脱ガス設備の浸漬管、鉄パイプを中心に有するガス吹き込み用ランスなどがこれに当たる。
【0011】
本発明は、棒状成形体が耐火物の外周の一部または全部に設置されたことを特徴とする耐火物としてもよい。図6には棒状成形体1が耐火物2の外部の一部に長手方向に平行に設置されている場合を、図7には耐火物2の外周の全部に間隙を設けないで棒状成形体1が環状に設置されている場合を、図8には耐火物2の外周の一部に棒状成形体1が螺旋状に設置されている場合を、図9には耐火物2の外周の一部に棒状成形体1が環状に設置されている場合を、図10には外周の一部に間隙を設けないで棒状成形体1が環状に設置されている場合をそれぞれ示した。
棒状成形体を耐火物の外周の一部又は全部に設けると、たとえば筒状の耐火物であれば、内部に高温物質が存在する場合に、耐火物外周に発生する引っ張り応力に対して強い補強となるため、耐火物は破壊しにくくなる。
【0012】
本発明は、棒状成形体が耐火物の内部に設置されていることを特徴とする耐火物としてもよい。
棒状成形体が耐火物の内部に設置されていると、その補強効果により耐火物の強度が向上し破壊し難くなる。さらに亀裂が発生しても、棒状成形体の架橋効果により亀裂が進展しにくく、さらに大きな破壊を防ぐことができる。
【0014】
本発明は、結合剤としてフェノール樹脂を用いて、無機繊維を束ねて若しくは撚り合わせて若しくは編んで、又はこれを更に無機繊維若しくは有機繊維で結束して束ねた成形体である。無機繊維は束ねて若しくは撚り合わせて、若しくは編んでよい。束ねるとは繊維をほぼ平行に隣接させることである。撚り合わせるとはねじり合わせることで、繊維をねじりあわせたものをさらにねじり合わせ、縄のようにしたものもこれに含まれる。編むとは繊維を打ち違えに組むことで、組み紐やリリヤーンなどもこれに含まれる。
【0015】
結合剤としてはフェノール樹脂を用いる。結合剤とともに適当な溶媒を用いても良い。また、結合剤にはB4C、SiC、ガラス、金属などの粉末が含まれていても良い。これらは棒の高温での強度を高めたり、炭素繊維や残炭の酸化を抑制する効果を発揮する。
結合剤として樹脂を使用する場合、まず樹脂を無機繊維間に含浸させ、これを別の無機繊維で外側から結束するか、ダイス等を通して引き抜く。このため余分の樹脂は無機繊維間から押し出されて取り除かれ、樹脂の量の少ない棒状成形体を得ることができる。このため棒状成形体の強度は高く、酸化しにくい。
【0016】
また、無機繊維に張力を印加しながら樹脂で束ねた棒を作成すると、プリテンションの掛かった棒状成形体を作成することができる。これを使用して耐火物を作成すると、前述のようにたわみがないことと相俟って、プレストレスの掛かった耐火物を得ることができ、熱衝撃破壊の抑制に非常に大きな効果を発揮する。
また、束ねたり、撚り合わせたり、あるいは編んだりして結束したものを樹脂などの液体状の収束剤に浸してもよい。外側から結束せずに張力をかけてそのまま硬化させても棒状成形体は作成できる。
直棒は張力をかけることで製造できる。環状や螺旋状、多角形の棒状成形体は適当な枠に巻きつけて硬化させることで製造できる。
【0017】
本発明は、樹脂がフェノール樹脂であり、非酸化雰囲気で熱処理すると炭素が残留する。この炭素すなわち残炭が耐火物を構成する他の耐火骨材等の粒子を結合させ、またそれ自身も一種の耐火材として機能するので、耐火物に使用するには好適な樹脂である。このため無機繊維を束ねる樹脂としても非常に好適である。
【0018】
本発明は、無機繊維を炭素繊維としてもよく、この場合、強度が高く耐熱性も高い。欠点は酸化により消失することである。炭素繊維をフェノール樹脂で束ねると、樹脂起源の炭素により繊維が一体化し、比表面積を小さくすることができる。このため耐酸化性を高めることができる。
【0019】
本発明は、内部が充填された塊状、板状又は棒状の耐火物であることを特徴としてもよい。本発明はパイプ状の耐火物のみならず、塊状、板状、棒状の耐火物にも適用でき、耐火物表面の剥離や亀裂発生を抑制することができる。
【0020】
本発明は、棒状成形体の全部あるいは一部の軸線と稼動面のなす角度が45〜90°であることを特徴としてもよい。棒状成形体の全部あるいは一部の軸線と稼動面のなす角度を45〜90°にすると、耐火物内部に生じる稼動面に平行な亀裂の発生を、あるいは亀裂に伴う耐火物表面の剥落を効果的に抑制することができる。稼動面とは耐火物によって保持される高温あるいは腐食性の物質と耐火物の接触面である。なお45°未満では効果が不十分である。
【0021】
本発明は、コークス粉中に埋め込んで600℃で3時間加熱した後の質量が、加熱前の質量の5%以上である棒状成形体を用いることを特徴としてもよい。結合剤により無機繊維を収束した場合、本発明の耐火物の乾燥、熱処理、あるいは使用中に結合剤中の揮発成分が逸散し、棒状成形体の周囲あるいは内部に空隙ができる。この空隙は欠陥として耐火物の耐食性や耐スラグ浸潤性などに悪影響を及ぼすので空隙はできるだけ少なくするべきである。空隙の量は棒状成形体の収束に用いられた結合剤と繊維の割合、および結合剤中の揮発成分の量比に影響される。これらを総合的に評価する指標として、棒状成形体をコークス粉中に埋め込んで600℃で3時間加熱し、加熱後の質量と加熱前の質量の比を特定することが有効である。この比、すなわち(加熱後質量)/(加熱前質量)が5%(=0.05)以上であれば、耐火物中の欠陥が少なく、耐食性や耐スラグ浸潤性に殆ど影響を与えない。なおこの比は高いほどよく、望ましくは20%以上である。
【0022】
無機繊維としては炭素繊維、ガラス繊維、たとえばアルミナ質、アルミナ−シリカ質、アルミナ質、ムライト質、ジルコニア質、マグネシア−シリカ質、マグネシア−シリカ−カルシア質などの無機繊維が使用可能である。前述のように炭素繊維は強度と耐熱性の観点からは特に優れている。他方、アルミナ−シリカ質、アルミナ質、ムライト質、ジルコニア質、マグネシア−シリカ質などの無機繊維は酸化消失することがないので、酸化が懸念されるような場合には有効である。結束には有機繊維を使用することも可能である。なお、これらの繊維を二種以上組み合わせて使用することも可能である。有機繊維として、たとえばアラミド繊維、ザイロンの商品名で知られる繊維、ポリウレタン繊維等を使用することができる。
【0023】
棒状成形体は直線状でも、また環状、螺旋状その他の曲線状でもよく、波形のもの、太さが一定でないものでもよい。棒状成形体には枝、突起、凹凸があると引き抜けにくくなるので好ましい。棒状成形体の作成の際、繊維を撚り合わせる、あるいは繊維で結束すると、表面に凹凸ができるので、引き抜きに対しては有利になる。撚り合わせの方法を工夫する、あるいは太い束状の繊維で結束するなどの手段を講じることで、より表面の凹凸の大きな棒を作成することができる。また短い棒状成形体を撚り込んだり繊維で結束したりすることで、枝のある棒状成形体を作成することもできる。
【0024】
母材となる耐火物は通常知られている耐火物すべてが可能である。たとえば、マグネシア、カルシア、スピネル、クロム鉱、クロミア、アルミナ、ムライト、シリカ、硅石、シャモット、ばん土頁岩、ボーキサイト、粘土、アンダリューサイト、シリマナイト、カヤナイトなどの各種のアルミナ−シリカ系原料、ジルコン、ジルコニア、SiC、B4Cなどの炭化物やほう化物、鱗状黒鉛、コークス、土状黒鉛、人造黒鉛、ピッチなどの各種炭素源を骨材とし、これらに必要に応じてバインダーや各種添加剤を加えた耐火物である。なお、棒状成形体の素材として炭素繊維を用いる場合は、その酸化を抑制する観点から炭素を含有する耐火物とした方が良い。
【0025】
次に本発明の耐火物の製造方法について説明する。
流し込み耐火物を用いると棒状成形体を設置するのが簡単である。すなわち、棒状成形体を型枠の中で組み立て、又は棒状成形体を組み立てた後に棒状成形体の周囲に型枠を設置し、その後型枠の中に混練した流し込み耐火物を流し込むことにより製造できる。棒状成形体は型枠に部分的に固定しておくとよい。こうすることで確実に狙った形に棒状成形体が内在する流し込み耐火物成形体を得ることができる。
また、型枠に流し込み耐火物を流し込んだ後、棒状成形体を流し込み耐火物中に挿入しても良い。
【0026】
束ねた棒状成形体を耐火物に埋め込むには、耐火物成形時に坏土や混練物に埋め込むと作業が楽である。耐火物を成形する際に孔をあけておき、あるいは穿孔して棒状成形体を装入し、周囲を流し込み耐火物や接着剤で充填することも可能である。
【0027】
棒状成形体を耐火物の外部に設置する場合は、棒状成形体を表面に沿わせて設置して接着剤や結束材などで固着させる、耐火物成形用の型枠の内側に棒状成形体を予め設置しておいてから、坏土や混練物を型枠に入れて棒状成形体と共に成形する、あるいは可撓性のある棒状成形体を耐火物表面に巻きつける、あるいはこれらを組み合わせた方法をとることができる。棒状成形体を配した後にさらに結合剤や金物で押さえてもよい。また耐火物坏土や混練物で覆って、棒状成形体が内在する耐火物を製造することも可能である。
結合剤中の揮発分は耐火物の受熱時に気体となり、耐火物を破損させる可能性がある。これを避けるために、必要に応じて棒状成形体あるいは棒状成形体を埋め込んだ耐火物を熱処理などを行い、揮発分を除去してもよい。
【0028】
【実施例】
[実施例1]
実験室レベルで本発明の効果を確認した。
炭素繊維(PAN系、強度約5000MPa、弾性率約24tf/mm2)にフェノール樹脂を塗りながら束ね、さらに同じ繊維の束を周囲に螺旋状に巻きつけて直径6mm、長さ約5mにしたものを熱処理して樹脂を硬化させたのち、これを長さ200mmに切断して棒状成形体を作成した。なお、棒状成形体の炭素繊維とフェノール樹脂の割合は40:60(容量比)であった。
【0029】
本発明例としてアルミナを主成分とし炭素を5質量%含有した流し込み材(キャスタブル)を母材とし、3本の作成した棒状成形体を長手方向に平行に約40mm間隔で内部に埋め込んだ65×114×230mmの試料を作成した。また、比較例として棒状成形体を埋め込まない試料も作成した。
上記棒状成形体をコークス粉中に埋め込んで600℃で3時間熱処理したあとの質量の、熱処理前質量に対する比は45%であった。
埋め込む手順は以下のようにした。流し込み用鉄製型枠(幅114mm×長さ230mm×深さ65mm)に、混練した流し込み材を深さ30mmまで入れて表面をならし、ここに長さ200mmの前記棒状成形体を中心に1本、その両脇に左右1本ずつ、40mmの間隔をあけて置いた。なお、棒状成形体の向きは型枠の230mmの辺と平行にし、棒状成形体の上下は各15mmずつ型枠の114mmの辺との間があくようにした。その後残りの35mm深さ分の流し込み材を入れて、表面をならしてからそのまま24時間室温で養生した。その後脱枠してから110℃で24時間乾燥した。
【0030】
これらを1600℃の溶銑に浸漬−放冷を繰り返した後に断面の亀裂を観察した。双方の亀裂の状況を図12に示す。何れもほぼ同じ深さの酸化層4が観察されたが、耐火物2に棒状成形体1を埋め込まなかった比較例(図12(b))には網目状の亀裂3が発達したのに対し、埋め込んだ本発明例(図12(a))では亀裂3は大幅に減少した。
【0031】
[実施例2]
溶鋼に粉体を吹き込むためのランスに本発明を適用した。
本発明例として、炭素繊維をフェノール樹脂で束ねた螺旋状の棒状成形体をランスに埋め込んだ。棒の材質と母材は実施例1と同じであった。
比較例とした通常のランスは耐火物で覆われた部分の長さが5m、外径が300mm、中心の鉄パイプの外径が100mmで、パイプの外側には長さ50mmの鉄製のスタッドをおよそ200mmピッチで90゜間隔で放射状に溶接して取り付けた。またパイプの下端にも同じスタッドを溶接して取り付けた。炭素繊維の棒状成形体は直径200mm、ピッチ200mmで螺旋状に成形した長さ4mのものを作成し、鉄パイプの下端から0mから4mのところにかぶせて、所々で鉄のスタッドに粘着テープで仮止めした。これらを流し込み用の型枠の中にセットし、流し込み材を流し込んで埋め込んだ。
【0032】
350℃で乾燥した後に溶鋼取鍋中の溶鋼にガスを吹き込み操業に供した。10回使用した後に観察したところ、螺旋状の棒を埋め込まなかった通常品(比較例)ではランス長手に平行な縦亀裂がほぼ90゜間隔で見られたのに対し、炭素繊維からなる棒状成形体を埋め込んだもの(本発明例)では顕著な縦亀裂は観察されなかった。
【0033】
[実施例3]
RH脱ガス設備の浸漬管に本発明を適用した。棒状成形体はアルミナ繊維とフェノール樹脂を用いて同様に作成した直径4mmのものであった。
本発明例として、外径1500mm内径800mm、フランジを含めた高さ750mmである300tRH脱ガス装置用浸漬管の下端のキャスタブルに環(リング)状の棒状成形体を埋め込んだ。なおリングは直径1300mmの環状に成形し、端部どうしは特に接合せず、約4分の1周分が重なるようにした。
【0034】
芯金の内側にマグクロれんがをセットし、芯金の下端と外周に高さ60〜100mmの鉄製スタッドを100mm程度のピッチで溶接して取付け、環状の棒棒状成形体を下端のスタッドに粘着テープで所々仮止めし、型枠をセットしてからアルミナ-スピネル質流し込み材を施工した。これを350℃で乾燥した後にRH下部槽に取り付けて使用した。上昇側で約60回使用した時点で観察したところ、比較例とした棒状成形体や紐状繊維を埋め込んでいないものは縦方向の亀裂が多数見られたが、棒を埋め込んだものでは亀裂発生は明らかに少なかった。
【0035】
[実施例4]
転炉底吹き羽口のスリーブれんがに本発明を適用した。棒状成形体は、炭素繊維とフェノール樹脂を用いて実施例1の場合と同様に作成した直径4mm、長さ800mmのものを使用した。
本発明例として、上底吹転炉の長さ950mm外径450mmの底吹き羽口スリーブれんがを製造する際に母材である炭素含有量20質量%のマグネシア−カーボン質の坏土を型に入れてならし、棒状成形体をれんがの長手に沿って置き坏土を被せることを繰り返す方法で、肉厚方向のほぼ中心に円周方向にほぼ均等に、すなわちほぼ30゜毎に12本埋め込んだ。これを乾燥してから転炉に装着して試用した。棒状成形体を埋め込まなかった比較例は転炉1炉代の間に4回程度交換するところを、本発明例は2回の交換で済んだ。
【0036】
[実施例5]
本発明例として転炉の傾斜部(上部、絞り部)に使用されるマグネシア−カーボンれんがに炭素繊維からなる棒状成形体を埋め込んだ。炭素繊維製の棒状成形体は実施例1と同じものを使用した。黒鉛含有量18質量%の坏土を型に半分入れ、型より50mm短い棒状成形体2本を幅方向は均等に長手方向に沿って並べ、さらに坏土を入れてプレス成形した。これを乾燥してから築造した。棒状成形体を加えていない比較例は転炉の使用回数が約1000回を超えるとれんが表面がかなり剥離するのに対し、棒状成形体を埋め込んだ本発明例は剥離が少なかった。
【0037】
[実施例6]
SNプレートに本発明を適用した。なお、SNプレートとはスライディングノズルプレートで、SGすなわちスライディングゲートとも、またSVすなわちスライディングバルブとも呼ばれ、孔の開いた二枚ないし三枚の耐火物製の板を面接触させ、孔のずれ度合いで溶融金属等の流量を制御するためのものである。
本発明例として、アルミナを主成分とし炭素を12質量%、シリカを8質量%程度含有し焼成含浸した厚さ40mmのSNプレートの周囲に、実施例1の棒状成形体を、樹脂が硬化しないうちに幅一杯に巻き付けたものを試作した。なお、比較例とした通常品は鋼製フープを重ねて厚さ約5mmに巻き付けたものである。これらを取鍋に使用したところ、比較例は3回使用すると孔の周囲に放射状の亀裂が発達しそれ以上の使用には耐えないが、本発明例は3回使用しても亀裂は軽微で再使用可能な状態であった。
【0041】
[実施例10]
太さ5mmのアルミナ長繊維製ヤーン(組み紐)をフェノール樹脂に浸漬して樹脂を染み込ませた後に取り出して余分の樹脂を滴下させて取り除いた後に約300℃で硬化させ、棒状成形体を作成した。硬化時に張力をかけることで直棒を、また円柱状の型に巻きつけることで環状の成形体を作成した。これらの棒状成形体をコークス粉中に埋め込んで600℃で3時間熱処理したあとの質量の、熱処理前質量に対する比は25%であった。
この棒状成形体をRH浸漬管に適用した。直径約1000mm長さ約800mmの芯金の下端に取り付けた鉄製スタッドに、直径1000mmの環状成形体を芯金下端から20mm浮かせて所々粘着テープで仮止めし、さらに芯金外側にその軸に平行に長さ800mmの直棒成形体を90°毎に4本、これも鉄製スタッド芯金から20mm浮かせて粘着テープで仮止めした。その後型枠をセットしてアルミナ−スピネル質の流し込み材を流し込み施工し、その後2Gで3分間加振した。さらに、流し込んだ材料に長さ100mmの直棒成形体4本を下端面に垂直に押し込んだ。押し込み位置は800mmの直棒を設置した位置と45°離れた方向で、浸漬管壁の厚みのほぼ2分の1の位置とした。押し込み時に金物に当たって押し込めない場合は位置をややずらした。なおこれら一連の作業は、浸漬管をRH下部槽に締結するためのフランジを下に、下端を上にした状態で行った。
常温で1日養生したあと脱枠し、300℃で乾燥してからRH下部槽に取り付けて使用した。
通常は50回程度使用すると浸漬管の下端に縦方向の亀裂が生じ、100回を過ぎると下端の流し込み材が脱落する場合があるが、棒状成形体を設置した浸漬管では縦方向の亀裂が100回でも目立たず、流し込み材の脱落も起こらなかった。
【0042】
[実施例11]
実施例10に記載の棒状成形体を設置したバーナータイル(加熱炉のバーナーの焚き口に使用される部材)を製作し使用した。
350mm角で内部に円錐台状の焚き口孔(入口内径100mm炉内出口内径250mm)のあるバーナータイルを流し込み材で製作するに当たって、まず直径300mmの環状成形体2本と長さ300mmの直棒成形体4本を骨組みのように組み立てた。環を間隔80mmで平行に配置し、4本の直棒を環のなす面に垂直でかつ90°間隔に環に取り付け、環のなす面に平行な方向から見ると鳥居のような形になるように組み立てた。バーナータイルの外形をなす外枠(枠の下側が焚き口側で上側が炉内出口側)の内側に組み立てた棒状成形体を入れ、直棒がバーナータイルの隅に来るようにして型枠の下底面に鳥居の脚に当たる部分を粘着テープで仮止めした。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a refractory material used for lining of kiln furnaces, holding containers, conveyance paths and the like for melting and refining metals such as steel, waste treatment, glass and cement production, high temperature treatment and the like.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Refractories are widely used in large quantities for refining and holding molten metal, heat treatment of materials, and the like. At the start of use and at the end of use, a rapid temperature change occurs due to temperature rise or cooling. In addition, for example, a rapid temperature change may occur between batch processes. Since the refractory is thermally expanded, a thermal stress is generated inside the refractory along with a rapid temperature change, which may destroy the refractory. This phenomenon is called thermal shock failure.
With long nozzles used to guide the molten steel from the ladle ladle to the tundish in continuous casting of molten steel and immersion nozzles used to guide the molten steel from the tundish to the mold, thermal shock fracture often occurs and becomes a problem. ing.

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
All of these methods use carbon fiber yarns, strings, tapes, tows, bundles, and nets, cloths, felts, papers and mats made of these. Hereinafter, these are referred to as carbon fiber convergence bodies. These converging bodies have the disadvantage that they do not have shape-retaining properties themselves, or are poor, and are difficult to install in the form desired on the refractory surface or inside. Also, derived from this, slack is likely to occur because it is difficult to place such a shape-retaining property on the refractory surface or inside in a straight line. For this reason, even if carbon fiber having high strength and high elastic modulus is used, prestress cannot be applied to the refractory in which the carbon fiber is installed, and therefore a sufficient function for preventing destruction cannot be obtained. In addition, since the carbon fiber converging body is easily frayed, the carbon fiber converging body may be used separately when the refractory is manufactured.
[0006]
In addition, since these converging bodies have large voids between the individual fibers, a large amount of resin is easily absorbed when impregnated or coated with a resin, etc. Become an organization. In such a case, at a high temperature corresponding to the use temperature of the refractory, the volatile matter in the resin disappears and becomes very porous. Not only is the strength low, but also the fiber and the carbon originating from the resin are easily oxidized.
An object of the present invention is to provide a refractory material with high durability that is less prone to cracking due to thermal shock and the like, and a method for manufacturing the refractory.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
In this invention, it replaces with the conventional convergence body and uses the rod-shaped molded object which consists of inorganic fibers. Since the rod-shaped molded body has shape retaining property, it does not sag when manufacturing the refractory, and can be installed on the surface of the refractory or inside the refractory as intended. Further, the fibers constituting the rod-shaped molded body are not frayed. In addition, the rod-shaped molded product referred to here is a material that does not deform and fall even if a sample having a length of about 300 mm is horizontally applied with a span of about 200 mm without applying tension.
[0009]
BookThe invention is, for example, a refractory 2 reinforced with a rod-shaped molded
If a rod-shaped molded body made of inorganic fibers is contained in the refractory, or disposed outside, the refractory is reinforced because the rod has high tensile strength. This makes it difficult to break due to thermal stress. Further, even if cracks occur due to breakage, the progress of cracks and even greater breakage can be suppressed by the crosslinking effect due to the pull-out resistance of the rod-shaped molded body.
In order to express such effects, the rod-shaped molded body needs to have a diameter of 1 mm or more, but if it exceeds 10 mm, the durability of the entire refractory may be reduced due to oxidation or melting of the rod-shaped molded body. . The cross-sectional shape is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, a circle, an ellipse, a polygon, a star, or a flower.
Further, the length needs to be 10 mm or more in order to obtain a sufficient crosslinking effect. In the case of a straight line as shown in FIG. 3, the length of the rod-shaped molded body is at most the maximum dimension of the refractory.
[0010]
BookIn the invention, the rod-shaped molded body made of inorganic fibers may be radially or radially inside and / or outside the refractory.Is longArranged in a straight, annular or spiral cylinder parallel to the handMay. The rod-shaped molded body may be installed both inside and outside, and may be a combination of two or more of radial, parallel to the longitudinal, annular, and spiral. Further, the spiral may be a combination of double or more spirals or spirals having opposite pitches. FIG. 1 shows the case where the rod-shaped molded
The refractory may be a refractory structure combined with hardware. For example, a dip tube of an RH degassing facility having an iron plate or bar called a core metal or an iron core as a support, a gas blowing lance having an iron pipe as a center, and the like.
[0011]
BookThe invention relates to a refractory material characterized in that the rod-shaped molded body is installed on a part or all of the outer periphery of the refractory material.May be. FIG. 6 shows a case where the rod-shaped molded
If the rod-shaped compact is provided on a part or all of the outer periphery of the refractory, for example, if it is a cylindrical refractory, strong reinforcement against tensile stress generated on the outer periphery of the refractory when a high-temperature substance exists inside Therefore, the refractory is difficult to break.
[0012]
BookThe invention relates to a refractory material characterized in that the rod-shaped molded body is installed inside the refractory material.May be.
When the rod-shaped molded body is installed inside the refractory, the reinforcing effect increases the strength of the refractory and makes it difficult to break it. Even if cracks occur, the cracks hardly propagate due to the cross-linking effect of the rod-shaped molded body, and even greater destruction can be prevented.
[0014]
BookThe invention is a binder.Using phenolic resin asIt is a molded body in which inorganic fibers are bundled, twisted or knitted, or further bundled with inorganic fibers or organic fibers. Inorganic fibers may be bundled, twisted or knitted. Bundling means that the fibers are adjacent in parallel. Twisting together means twisting together, and twisting the fibers together to make them like ropes. Knitting is a combination of fibers misplaced, including braids and lily yarns.
[0015]
As a binderHaEnol resinUse. A suitable solvent may be used together with the binder. The binder is B4Powders such as C, SiC, glass, and metal may be included. These exhibit the effect of increasing the strength of the rod at high temperatures and suppressing the oxidation of carbon fibers and residual carbon.
When using a resin as a binder, first, the resin is impregnated between inorganic fibers, and this is bound from the outside with another inorganic fiber, or pulled out through a die or the like. For this reason, excess resin is extruded and removed from between the inorganic fibers, and a rod-shaped molded body with a small amount of resin can be obtained. For this reason, the strength of the rod-shaped molded body is high and hardly oxidized.
[0016]
Moreover, when a rod bundled with resin is created while applying tension to the inorganic fiber, a rod-shaped molded body with pretension applied can be produced. Using this to create a refractory, combined with the lack of deflection as described above, it is possible to obtain a prestressed refractory, which is extremely effective in suppressing thermal shock destruction. To do.
Further, a bundle obtained by bundling, twisting, or knitting may be immersed in a liquid sizing agent such as a resin. A rod-shaped molded body can be prepared by applying tension and curing as it is without binding from the outside.
The straight bar can be manufactured by applying tension. An annular, spiral, or polygonal rod-shaped molded body can be produced by winding it around a suitable frame and curing it.
[0017]
BookThe invention is based on phenolic resinWith fatYes, carbon remains after heat treatment in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. Since this carbon, that is, the remaining coal, binds particles such as other refractory aggregates constituting the refractory, and also functions as a kind of refractory, it is a suitable resin for use in refractories. For this reason, it is also very suitable as a resin for bundling inorganic fibers.
[0018]
BookInvention is inorganic fiberTheCarbon fiberOr in this caseHigh strength and high heat resistance. The disadvantage is that it disappears by oxidation. When carbon fibers are bundled with a phenol resin, the fibers are integrated by carbon originating from the resin, and the specific surface area can be reduced. For this reason, oxidation resistance can be improved.
[0019]
BookThe invention is characterized in that it is a block-like, plate-like or rod-like refractory filled inside.May. The present invention can be applied not only to pipe-shaped refractories but also to lumps, plates, and rod-shaped refractories, and can suppress peeling and cracking of the refractory surface.
[0020]
BookThe invention is characterized in that the angle formed by the working surface with all or a part of the axis of the rod-shaped molded body is 45 to 90 °.May. If the angle between the whole or part of the axis of the rod-shaped body and the working surface is 45 to 90 °, it is effective to generate cracks parallel to the working surface inside the refractory or to peel off the surface of the refractory due to the crack. Can be suppressed. The working surface is a contact surface between a refractory and a high temperature or corrosive substance held by the refractory. If the angle is less than 45 °, the effect is insufficient.
[0021]
BookThe invention is characterized by using a rod-shaped molded body in which the mass after being embedded in coke powder and heated at 600 ° C. for 3 hours is 5% or more of the mass before heating.May. When the inorganic fibers are converged by the binder, volatile components in the binder are dissipated during drying, heat treatment, or use of the refractory of the present invention, and voids are formed around or inside the rod-shaped molded body. Since the voids adversely affect the corrosion resistance and slag infiltration resistance of the refractory as defects, the voids should be as small as possible. The amount of voids is affected by the ratio of the binder and fiber used for converging the rod-shaped molded body, and the ratio of the volatile components in the binder. As an index for comprehensively evaluating these, it is effective to embed a rod-shaped molded body in coke powder and heat at 600 ° C. for 3 hours, and specify the ratio of the mass after heating to the mass before heating. If this ratio, that is, (mass after heating) / (mass before heating) is 5% (= 0.05) or more, there are few defects in the refractory and hardly affect the corrosion resistance and slag infiltration resistance. This ratio should be as high as possible, preferably 20% or more.
[0022]
As the inorganic fibers, carbon fibers and glass fibers, for example, inorganic fibers such as alumina, alumina-silica, alumina, mullite, zirconia, magnesia-silica, magnesia-silica-calcia can be used. As described above, carbon fibers are particularly excellent from the viewpoints of strength and heat resistance. On the other hand, inorganic fibers such as alumina-silica, alumina, mullite, zirconia, and magnesia-silica are not lost by oxidation, and are effective when oxidation is a concern. It is also possible to use organic fibers for binding. In addition, it is also possible to use these fibers in combination of two or more. As the organic fiber, for example, an aramid fiber, a fiber known by a trade name of Zylon, a polyurethane fiber, or the like can be used.
[0023]
The rod-shaped molded body may be linear, circular, spiral, or other curved shape, and may be corrugated or not constant in thickness. It is preferable that the rod-shaped molded body has branches, protrusions, and irregularities because it is difficult to pull out. When producing the rod-shaped molded body, twisting the fibers or bundling them with fibers is advantageous for drawing because the surface is uneven. By taking measures such as devising the twisting method or bundling with thick bundles of fibers, it is possible to create a rod with a larger surface roughness. Further, a rod-shaped molded body having a branch can be produced by twisting a short rod-shaped molded body or binding it with fibers.
[0024]
Any commonly known refractory can be used as the base material. For example, various alumina-silica materials such as magnesia, calcia, spinel, chromite, chromia, alumina, mullite, silica, meteorite, chamotte, porphyry shale, bauxite, clay, andalusite, sillimanite, kyanite, zircon, Zirconia, SiC, BFourIt is a refractory material in which various carbon sources such as carbides and borides such as C, scale-like graphite, coke, earth-like graphite, artificial graphite, and pitch are used as an aggregate, and binders and various additives are added to these as necessary. In addition, when using carbon fiber as a raw material of a rod-shaped molded object, it is better to use a refractory containing carbon from the viewpoint of suppressing its oxidation.
[0025]
Next, the manufacturing method of the refractory of this invention is demonstrated.
If cast refractories are used, it is easy to install a rod-shaped body. That is, it can be manufactured by assembling a rod-shaped molded body in a mold frame, or after assembling a rod-shaped molded body, placing a mold frame around the rod-shaped molded body, and then pouring a cast refractory kneaded into the mold frame. . The rod-shaped molded body may be partially fixed to the mold. By doing so, it is possible to obtain a cast refractory molded body in which the rod-shaped molded body is present in a surely aimed shape.
Further, after pouring the refractory into the mold, the rod-shaped molded product may be poured into the refractory..
[0026]
In order to embed a bundled rod-shaped molded body in a refractory material, it is easy to embed the material in a clay or a kneaded material during refractory material molding. When forming a refractory, it is also possible to make a hole or insert a rod-shaped body by perforation, pour the surroundings and fill with a refractory or an adhesive.
[0027]
When installing the rod-shaped molded body outside the refractory, place the rod-shaped molded body along the surface and fix it with an adhesive or binding material. After setting in advance, put the clay or kneaded material in the mold and mold it with the rod-shaped molded body, or wrap the flexible rod-shaped molded body around the refractory surface, or combine these methods Can take. After arranging the rod-shaped molded body, it may be further pressed with a binder or hardware. Moreover, it is also possible to manufacture a refractory containing a rod-shaped molded body by covering with a refractory clay or a kneaded material.
The volatile matter in the binder becomes a gas when the refractory receives heat, which may damage the refractory. In order to avoid this, if necessary, the volatile matter may be removed by performing a heat treatment or the like on the rod-shaped molded body or the refractory in which the rod-shaped molded body is embedded.

【Example】
[Example 1]
The effect of the present invention was confirmed at the laboratory level.
Carbon fiber (PAN-based, strength about 5000 MPa, elastic modulus about 24 tf / mm2) While applying phenolic resin, and then winding the same fiber bundle spirally around it to make it 6 mm in diameter and about 5 m in length, and then curing the resin to 200 mm in length. The rod-shaped molded body was prepared by cutting. In addition, the ratio of the carbon fiber and the phenol resin in the rod-shaped molded body was 40:60 (volume ratio).
[0029]
As an example of the present invention, a casting material (castable) containing alumina as a main component and containing 5% by mass of carbon was used as a base material, and three prepared rod-shaped molded bodies were embedded inside at intervals of about 40 mm in parallel to the longitudinal direction. A sample of 114 × 230 mm was prepared. Moreover, the sample which does not embed a rod-shaped molded object as a comparative example was also created.
The ratio of the mass after the rod-shaped molded body was embedded in coke powder and heat-treated at 600 ° C. for 3 hours to the mass before heat treatment was 45%.
The embedding procedure was as follows. Put the kneaded casting material into a casting mold (width 114mm x length 230mm x depth 65mm) up to a depth of 30mm to smooth the surface, and here one piece centered on the rod-shaped body with a length of 200mm The left and right sides were placed on both sides with a gap of 40 mm. The direction of the rod-shaped molded body was parallel to the 230 mm side of the mold, and the top and bottom of the rod-shaped molded body were spaced 15 mm apart from the 114 mm side of the mold. Then, the remaining 35 mm depth of pouring material was added, and the surface was smoothed and then allowed to cure at room temperature for 24 hours. Thereafter, the frame was removed and dried at 110 ° C. for 24 hours.
[0030]
These were immersed in 1600 ° C. hot metal and allowed to cool, and then cracks in the cross section were observed. The situation of both cracks is shown in FIG. In all cases, the

[Example 2]
The present invention was applied to a lance for blowing powder into molten steel.
As an example of the present invention, a spiral rod-shaped molded body in which carbon fibers are bundled with a phenol resin was embedded in a lance. The rod material and base material were the same as in Example 1.
The normal lance used as a comparative example has a length of 5m covered with a refractory, an outer diameter of 300mm, a central iron pipe with an outer diameter of 100mm, and a steel stud with a length of 50mm on the outside of the pipe. They were attached by welding radially at 90 ° intervals at a pitch of approximately 200 mm. The same stud was welded to the lower end of the pipe. The carbon fiber rod-shaped body is made into a spiral shape with a diameter of 200 mm and a pitch of 200 mm, and is covered with a tape from 0 m to 4 m from the lower end of the iron pipe. Temporarily stopped. These were set in a casting form and poured into the casting material.
[0032]
After drying at 350 ° C., gas was blown into the molten steel in the molten steel ladle for operation. Observed after 10 uses, the normal product without the helical rod embedded (Comparative Example) showed vertical cracks parallel to the lance length at almost 90 ° intervals, whereas rod-shaped molding made of carbon fiber. In the case where the body was embedded (invention example), no significant vertical crack was observed.
[0033]
[Example 3]
The present invention was applied to a dip tube of an RH degassing facility. The rod-shaped molded body had a diameter of 4 mm and was similarly prepared using alumina fiber and phenol resin.
As an example of the present invention, a ring-shaped rod-shaped molded body was embedded in a castable at the lower end of a 300 tRH degassing apparatus dip tube having an outer diameter of 1500 mm, an inner diameter of 800 mm, and a height including a flange of 750 mm. The ring was formed into an annular shape with a diameter of 1300 mm, and the end portions were not particularly joined to each other so that about a quarter of the circumference overlapped.
[0034]
A magcro brick is set inside the core, and a steel stud with a height of 60 to 100mm is welded to the lower end and outer periphery of the core with a pitch of about 100mm. At some points, the mold was set, and then the alumina-spinel casting material was applied. This was dried at 350 ° C. and then attached to the RH lower tank for use. Observed when used about 60 times on the ascending side, the rod-shaped molded body as a comparative example and the one not embedded with string-like fibers showed many vertical cracks, but the one embedded with a rod generated cracks. Was clearly less.

[Example 4]
The present invention was applied to a sleeve brick of a converter bottom blowing tuyere. As the rod-shaped molded body, one having a diameter of 4 mm and a length of 800 mm prepared in the same manner as in Example 1 using carbon fiber and phenol resin was used.
As an example of the present invention, a magnesia-carbonaceous clay having a carbon content of 20% by mass, which is a base material, is used as a base material when manufacturing a bottom-blown tuyere sleeve brick having a length of 950 mm and an outer diameter of 450 mm of an upper-bottom blow converter. In this method, the rod-shaped compacts are placed along the length of the brick and covered with clay, and 12 cores are embedded almost evenly in the circumferential direction at almost the center in the thickness direction, that is, approximately every 30 °. It is. After drying this, it mounted on the converter and tried it. In the comparative example in which the rod-shaped molded body was not embedded, replacement was performed about four times during one converter cost, while in the present invention example, only two replacements were required.
[0036]
[Example 5]
As an example of the present invention, a magnesia-carbon brick used for an inclined part (upper part, throttle part) of a converter was embedded with a rod-shaped molded body made of carbon fiber. The same carbon fiber rod-shaped molded body as in Example 1 was used. Half of the clay with a graphite content of 18% by mass was put in a mold, and two rod-shaped compacts 50 mm shorter than the mold were arranged along the longitudinal direction evenly in the width direction, and further press-molded with the clay. It was built after drying. In the comparative example in which the rod-shaped molded body was not added, the brick surface was considerably peeled when the number of times of use of the converter exceeded about 1000 times, whereas in the present invention example in which the rod-shaped molded body was embedded, there was little peeling.

[Example 6]
The present invention was applied to the SN plate. The SN plate is a sliding nozzle plate, also called SG, that is, sliding gate, or SV, that is, sliding valve, which makes two or three refractory plates with holes in surface contact, and the degree of deviation of the holes. In order to control the flow rate of molten metal or the like.
As an example of the present invention, the rod-shaped molded body of Example 1 is not cured on the periphery of a 40 mm thick SN plate containing alumina as a main component, carbon of about 12% by mass and silica of about 8% by mass and impregnated by baking. I made a prototype that was wrapped to the full width. In addition, the normal product as a comparative example is a steel hoop piled up and wound to a thickness of about 5 mm. When these were used for a ladle, the comparative example developed a radial crack around the hole when used three times, and it could not withstand any further use, but the example of the present invention had a slight crack even when used three times. It was reusable.
[0041]
[Example 10]
A 5-mm-thick alumina long fiber yarn (braided string) was immersed in a phenolic resin soaked in the resin and then removed, and the excess resin was dropped and cured, followed by curing at about 300 ° C. to produce a rod-shaped molded body. . An annular molded body was prepared by winding a straight rod by applying tension during curing and winding it around a cylindrical mold. The ratio of the mass after these rod-shaped compacts were embedded in coke powder and heat-treated at 600 ° C. for 3 hours to the mass before heat treatment was 25%.
This rod-shaped molded body was applied to an RH dip tube. An annular shaped body with a diameter of 1000 mm is lifted 20 mm from the lower end of the core metal and temporarily fixed with adhesive tape in some places on an iron stud attached to the lower end of a core metal with a diameter of about 1000 mm and a length of about 800 mm. In addition, four 800 mm-long straight rod molded bodies were lifted 20 mm from the steel stud core bar every 90 °, and temporarily fixed with an adhesive tape. Thereafter, the mold was set, and an alumina-spinel casting material was cast and applied, followed by vibration at 2G for 3 minutes. Further, four straight rod molded bodies having a length of 100 mm were pushed into the poured material perpendicularly to the lower end surface. The pushing-in position was set at a position approximately one-half of the thickness of the dip tube wall in a direction 45 ° away from the position where the 800 mm straight bar was installed. The position was slightly shifted if it could not be pushed in by hitting the hardware. These series of operations were performed with the flange for fastening the dip tube to the RH lower tank down and the bottom end up.
After curing at room temperature for 1 day, the frame was removed, dried at 300 ° C., and then attached to the RH lower tank.
Normally, when used about 50 times, a vertical crack occurs at the lower end of the dip tube, and after 100 times, the casting material at the lower end may fall off, but in the dip tube provided with a rod-shaped molded body, the vertical crack occurs. The cast material did not stand out even after 100 times, and the casting material did not fall off.

[Example 11]
A burner tile (a member used for a burner outlet of a heating furnace) provided with the rod-shaped molded body described in Example 10 was manufactured and used.
In producing a burner tile with a truncated cone-shaped bore hole (inside diameter 100 mm, inside diameter of furnace outlet 250 mm) inside with a casting material, two 300 mm diameter annular molded bodies and a 300 mm long straight rod were first prepared. Four molded bodies were assembled like a skeleton. Rings are arranged in parallel at an interval of 80 mm, and four straight bars are attached to the ring at 90 ° intervals perpendicular to the ring surface, and look like a torii when viewed from a direction parallel to the ring surface. Assembled. Insert the assembled rod-shaped molded body inside the outer frame (the lower side of the burner tile is the opening side and the upper side is the outlet side of the furnace), and make sure that the straight bar is at the corner of the burner tile. The part that hits the torii legs on the bottom bottom was temporarily fixed with adhesive tape.
Furthermore, the truncated cone-shaped core for forming the opening was set upside down (the thick part was up and the thin part was down). Thereafter, a high alumina-based casting material was poured and shaken at 2 G for 1 minute. After being cured at room temperature for 1 day, it was deframed and further dried at about 300 ° C., and then used as a burner tile for a steel heating furnace.
Normally, after about half a year of use, a crack occurs and the burner tile exit side peels off. Cracks also occurred in the burner tile embedded with the rod-shaped molded body, but the width was about half that of the normal product, and the outlet side did not peel off.
