Neutral and alkaline lining is used only for induction furnace capacity of less than 10 tons. The cost is much higher than the acidic lining lining, so must meet the smelting efficiency is very high to the economy. Neutral and alkali furnace refractory material is sexy:
(1) Sintered magnesia. The erosion of the sintered magnesia against molten metal and slag is very good, and high refractoriness, disadvantage is the contraction occurred two times during sintering, resulting in cracks and voids. Risk also contained the fully sintered, affect the elastic. Cause of crack;
(2) Fused magnesia. Electric volume stability of fused magnesia is good, but expensive than sintered magnesia.
(3) Magnesia – alumina – spinel. Magnesia – alumina – spinel due to volume expansion appears in the formation of spinel, so as to compensate the shrinkage of magnesia. Degree of expansion by the number and shape of corundum and mineralizing agent control.
(4) Chrome magnesia – alumina – spinel. Chrome magnesia – alumina – spinel besides the advantages of the spinel, also has good thermal stability;
(5) The calcium oxide crystallization. Calcium oxide crystallization created favorable conditions for dephosphorization and desulfurization, but easy to crack, and cooling easily. In addition, the stove temperature will absorb moisture, so it is in danger of hydration. The crystallization of calcium oxide lining can neither be ramming material, also can not be made into refractory bricks used in induction furnace.
