  • About author:Zhang Hongrui, born in 1998, obtained his bachelor’s degree from Shenyang Aerospace University in 2020, majoring in functional materials. He is currently studying for his master’s degree in Henan Key Laboratory of High Temperature Functional Ceramics, School of Materials Science and Engineering, Zhengzhou University. His research focuses on the preparation and application of reactive MgO bonded Cr2O3-containing refractory castables.

Abstract: Cr2O3-bearing castables bonded with reactive MgO (RM) or calcium aluminate cement (CAC) were studied to evaluate the binder effect on their performance in corrosive environments. The properties of the as-prepared castables were compared with respect to the differences in phase composition and microstructure. The corrosion behavior of the as-prepared castables by CaO-Al2O3-Fe2O3-SiO2-based slag was systematically compared via refractory cup testing at 1 600 ℃ with respect to the differences in phase composition and microstructure. The analysis indicates that RM bonded castables show higher apparent porosity, lower bulk density and strengths after drying at 110 ℃ and firing at 1 300 ℃, and higher permanent linear change after firing at 1 300 ℃, but better slag corrosion and infiltration resistance compared with CAC bonded castables.
