Effect of aluminum-magnesium antioxidant on periclase-carbon object properties

Abstract

The effect of fraction composition of aluminum-magnesium antioxidant with a Al:Mg ratio of 1:1 on some periclase-carbon object properties and their relationship towards highly basic slag are studied. It is established that introduction into the composition of periclase-carbon charges of aluminum-magnesium alloy in an amount of 5% most effectively protects carbon in the refractory, reducing the amount of the decarburized area, and increasing ultimate strength in compression for objects to 36.7 MPa after coking firing. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
