Study on Failure and Refining Effect of Purging Plugs with Different Slits

Due to severe service conditions, the life span of purging plugs is shorter than the lining of ladles, which results in lower production efficiency. To investigate the stress distribution, the...

Impact of Melt Phase Formation on the High-Temperature Behaviour of MgO–CMA–C Refractories

Due to their excellent thermomechanical properties and corrosion resistance against aggressive steel/slag systems, carbon-bonded magnesia (MgO–C), alumina-magnesia (AMC), and magnesia-alumina (MAC) bricks are the dominating refractories for the lining of...
