Conclusions
It is possible to use natural loamy sands with a refractoriness about 1650°C and containing 2.5–4.5% Al2O3, and also mixtures of quartz sands and 15% fireclay for rammed linings of steel ladles applied with sand slinger. The relationship between the wear of these linings in service and the compounds concentrations of alkali metal oxides was determined in the research.
A composition was developed for a compound based on pure quartz material (Ovruch quartzites) with an addition of 15% fireclay. Production of the compounds has started at the Krasnogorov Refractories Plant. The use of the new compounds has increased the life of 100-ton ladles at the Dzerzhinskii Factory from 12 to 18–20 pourings.
