Conclusions
As the result of laboratory tests of periclase-chromite refractories produced by different methods (MKhS, MKhV, and MKhVP) under the combined action of thermocyclic and mechanical loads possibilities were revealed of the most effective use of them in relation to the service conditions of plasma and electric arc furnace linings. The results of production tests of MKhS, MKhV, and MKhVP refractories at various furnace lining operating temperatures agree with the laboratory data and make it possible to draw the following conclusions:
MKhS parts, as the most heat resistant, may be used successfully in heating the furnace lining working surface to 1700–1750°C, which corresponds to a temperature on the boundary of spalling of the refractory of 1400–1500°C.
An increase in the lining operating temperature to 1800–1900°C (1550–1650°C on the boundary of spalling) requires the use of refractories with a combination of such properties as heat resistance and high-temperature strength. These requirements are met to the greatest degree by MKhV parts.
In the future for large tonnage plasma and electric arc furnaces with high mechanical loads MKhVP high-strength parts may be recommended for the lining. However, for successful use of these parts it is necessary to aim to increase their heat resistance.
