Description

Magnesia-alumina spinel castable is a basic monolithic refractory made from fused magnesia, sintered magnesia and high-purity alumina-magnesia spinel, bonded with calcium aluminate cement through scientific particle grading. The in-situ formed or pre-synthesized spinel phase gives the material excellent resistance to basic slag attack and outstanding thermal shock stability, making it a mainstream long-life solution for the working linings of steel ladles, hot metal ladles and other metallurgical vessels.

Key Features

  • Excellent slag resistance: The spinel phase effectively resists attack by high-basicity slags and iron oxide, significantly extending service life at the slag line.
  • Good thermal shock resistance: Low thermal expansion of the spinel phase adapts to frequent temperature fluctuations during ladle turnover, reducing spalling and cracking.
  • High hot strength: High refractoriness under load ensures structural stability under high-temperature service.
  • Strong penetration resistance: Dense structure effectively prevents slag and molten steel from penetrating into the lining.

Typical Applications

  • Steel ladle working lining (walls and bottom) and slag line
  • Hot metal ladle (torpedo car) working lining
  • LF refining furnace and ladle refining linings
  • Medium-frequency induction furnace lining and lip

FAQs

What is the service temperature range of magnesia-alumina spinel castable?

Standard grades suit service environments of 1550°C–1750°C; special formulations can meet higher temperature requirements.

What advantages does spinel castable have over high-alumina castable?

Under conditions of basic slag and high iron oxide, high-alumina castable is prone to erosion and structural spalling, while spinel castable offers significantly better slag resistance and thermal shock resistance, typically improving campaign life by 30%–50%.

Are there special requirements for installation and curing?

Installation is by vibration casting with strict water addition control. Curing requires a humid environment to avoid rapid water loss; drying follows a heating curve to prevent spalling.

Can the formulation be customized for our ladle conditions?

Yes. We can tailor magnesia grade, spinel addition and bond system according to ladle capacity, slag-line position and turnover rhythm. Please share your operating data for a selection recommendation.
