State Council: The building materials industry should promote the use of chromium-free refractory materials

The State Council recently issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting Steady Growth, Structural Adjustment, and Efficiency Improvement in the Building Materials Industry", which makes specific arrangements for resolving overcapacity in the cement and flat glass industries in the coming period, accelerating the transformation and upgrading of the building materials industry, and promoting cost reduction and efficiency improvement for building materials enterprises to achieve development out of difficulties. The "Opinions" propose that in order to reduce costs and increase efficiency, the building materials industry should implement green and intelligent development, one of which is to promote chromium-free refractory materials. In the cement kiln burning zone, magnesia-chromium bricks are commonly used as lining materials, but under high temperature, alkaline, and oxidizing atmospheres, Cr3+ in magnesia-chromium bricks will be converted into water-soluble Cr6+, and Cr6+ is strongly harmful

Methods to improve the service life of permeable bricks

As a refractory material, permeable bricks play a vital role in the steelmaking process. With increased usage, the wear and tear on these bricks becomes increasingly severe. Therefore, extending the service life of permeable bricks can, to a certain extent, increase steel production. Key methods include asymmetric bottom blowing, replacing the permeable core, controlling the bottom blowing parameters, and maintenance.

Four main reasons for damage to steel ladle porous bricks

During the use of porous bricks in steel plants, the main reasons for the damage of porous bricks are thermal stress, mechanical stress, mechanical wear, and chemical corrosion.
