Description

Alumina-magnesia ladle castable (Al2O3-MgO castable) is an alumina-magnesia composite unshaped refractory made from high-grade bauxite and corundum aggregates with sintered magnesia and high-efficiency binders. Its key technology lies in the in-situ formation of magnesia-alumina spinel (MgAl2O4) at high temperature, which creates a dense bonding layer with slight expansion and inhibits slag penetration. Compared with conventional high-alumina castables, it offers significantly better resistance to basic slag attack, thermal shock and spalling, making it an ideal choice for integral lining, repair and slag line of steel ladles.

Key Features

  • In-situ spinel formation: dense spinel layer at high temperature, greatly improving slag penetration and erosion resistance.
  • Excellent thermal shock resistance: withstands rapid heating/cooling cycles during ladle turnover without spalling.
  • High hot strength: dense structure after sintering, resistant to molten steel scouring.
  • Good workability: low-cement / cement-free options, castable or self-flowing for integral lining.
  • Longer service life: extends ladle working lining life and increases ladle turnover.
  • Tailorable formulation: MgO addition adjusted by steel grade, slag system, ladle type and installation method.

Typical Applications

  • Integral lining of steel ladle working lining (walls and bottom).
  • Casting and repair of ladle slag line and hot spots.
  • Working lining of LF and VD refining ladles.
  • Lining of iron ladles and mixer furnaces.
  • Local repair and gunning during ladle intermediate maintenance.

FAQs

What is the difference between alumina-magnesia ladle castable and high-alumina castable?

Alumina-magnesia castable forms in-situ spinel at high temperature, giving much better basic slag resistance and thermal shock resistance than ordinary high-alumina castable. It suits ladle and other severe slag attack conditions; high-alumina castable fits relatively lower-temperature, mild-erosion parts.

Why use alumina-magnesia material for ladle slag lines?

The slag line is exposed to high-basicity molten slag. MgO in the castable reacts with Fe2O3 and CaO to form high-melting spinel protective layer, effectively slowing slag line erosion.

Can it be used for iron ladles?

Yes. Formulation can be adjusted for scouring resistance for iron ladle service; the solution is customized by Henan Songrui New Refractory Materials Co., Ltd. based on ladle type.

Do you support on-site integral casting?

Yes. Low-cement, ultra-low-cement and self-flowing formulations are available, with on-site installation and baking guidance.
