In the OAO Borovich Refractory Combine there is a working structure for developing output of chamotte block components of the lower structure of glass melting furnaces. Features are considered for the production technology of components and engineering lines, modernization of equipment, and the provision of product quality. Physicochemical properties are given for component grades ShSU-33 and MLS-62, and their advantages over similar products of other producers are indicated.Block components are used traditionally for lining the bottom of the melting bath of glass-making furnaces [1]. Before the start of using melting and casting baddeleyitecorundum components, large aluminosilicate components due to their considerable size and minimum number of joints have provided the required engineering life of a furnace bath, and subsequently structural stability of the lower structure of a furnace and the required heat insulation. Recent attempts to replace fired chamotte components by concrete, are not promising. Unfired low-cement concrete components require "a smooth heating-up campaign to the operating temperature" [2], as a result of which on heating they experience a continuous series of chemical and phase transformations: cement dehydration, formation of calcium aluminates, their reaction with aluminosilicate components of the matrix, in the course of which article stresses accumulate with a capacity to lead to breakdown. All of the concrete objects (fired and unfired) contain calcium aluminate, less chemically resistant to silicate glass, particularly at high temperature.
The Borovichi Refractory Plant has organized the production of new advanced refractories, including graph z Re-containing articles for continuous casting of steel, a variety of mullite-corundum articles, mortars,
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
