Abstract

Provided are a magnesia carbon brick which does not include graphite yet has excellent spalling and corrosion resistances, and a method for producing thereof. The brick is obtained by adding an organic binder to a refractory raw material mixture followed by kneading, molding, and heat-treating, wherein the mixture includes total 0.1 to 2.0 mass % of pitch and/or carbon black, total 0.1 to 1.0 mass % of aluminum and/or aluminum alloy, 3.0 to 10.0 mass % of magnesia having particle diameter of less than 0.075 mm, and 87.0 to 96.0 mass % of magnesia having particle diameter of 0.075 to 5 mm; and a mass ratio of magnesia having particle diameter of 1 to 5 mm to that of 0.075 to 1 mm is 1.66 to 2.34; graphite is not included therein; and an apparent porosity thereof after heat-treatment under reductive atmosphere at 1400° C. for 3 hours is 8.0% or less.

First claim

1 . A magnesia carbon brick, the magnesia carbon brick being obtained by adding an organic binder to a refractory raw material mixture followed by kneading, molding, and heat-treating, wherein
in the refractory raw material mixture, a pitch and/or a carbon black is included with a total amount of 0.1% or more by mass and 2.0% or less by mass, aluminum and/or aluminum alloy is included with a total amount of 0.1% or more by mass and 1.0% or less by mass, a magnesia having a particle diameter of less than 0.075 mm is included with an amount of 3.0% or more by mass and 10.0% or less by mass, and a magnesia having a particle diameter of 0.075 mm or more and less than 5 mm is included with an amount of 87.0% or more by mass and 96.0% or less by mass, but graphite is not included therein; and a mass ratio of a magnesia having a particle diameter of 1 mm or more and less than 5 mm to a magnesia having a particle diameter of 0.075 mm or more and less than 1 mm is 1.66 or more and 2.34 or less; and an apparent porosity thereof after having been subjected to a heat-treatment under a reductive atmosphere at 1400° C. for 3 hours is 8.0% or less.

2 . The magnesia carbon brick according to claim 1 , wherein in the refractory raw material mixture, both the pitch and the carbon black are used together.

3 . The magnesia carbon brick according to claim 1 , wherein in the refractory raw material mixture, the pitch and/or the carbon black is included with a total amount of 0.2% or more by mass and 1.4% or less by mass.

4 . The magnesia carbon brick according to claim 1 , wherein in the refractory raw material mixture, the aluminum and/or the aluminum alloy is included with a total amount of 0.1% or more by mass and 0.7% or less by mass.

5 . The magnesia carbon brick according to claim 1 , wherein in the refractory raw material mixture, the mass ratio of the magnesia having the particle diameter of 1 mm or more and less than 5 mm to the magnesia having the particle diameter of 0.075 mm or more and less than 1 mm is 1.85 or more and 2.20 or less.

6 . The magnesia carbon brick according to claim 1 , wherein in the refractory raw material mixture, silicon is used with a total amount including the aluminum and/or the aluminum alloy being 0.2% or more by mass and 1.0% or less by mass.

7 . A method for producing a magnesia carbon brick, wherein an organic binder is added to a refractory raw material mixture followed by kneading, molding, and heat-treating, the refractory raw material mixture including, without including graphite, a pitch and/or a carbon black with a total amount of 0.1% or more by mass and 2.0% or less by mass, aluminum and/or aluminum alloy with a total amount of 0.1% or more by mass and 1.0% or less by mass, and a magnesia having a particle diameter of less than 0.075 mm with an amount of 3.0% or more by mass and 10.0% or less by mass, and a magnesia having a particle diameter of 0.075 mm or more and less than 5 mm with an amount of 87.0% or more by mass and 96.0% or less by mass; and a mass ratio of a magnesia having a particle diameter of 1 mm or more and less than 5 mm to a magnesia having a particle diameter of 0.075 mm or more and less than 1 mm is 1.66 or more and 2.34 or less.
