Abstract
In order to understand the reaction mechanism of Al-killed medium-Mn steel with glazed MgO refractory, some laboratory experiments were conducted at [1873 K (1600 °C)]. The refractory rods were glazed by four different basicity slags, and inserted into liquid steel (Mn:5.5 mass pct) for different times. The results show that MgO refractory can react with medium-Mn steel to generate (Mn, Mg)O solid solution with even (Mn, Mg)O-Al2O3 spinel at the boundary of the refractory. When a glaze layer is formed at the edge of a MgO refractory, the glaze layer will supply inclusions into liquid steel and may act as a protection layer for the refractory. Although the glaze could also react with dissolved Mn in steel to generate MnO in both the glaze and refractory, the MnO contents in both the glaze and refractory are evidently lower than that without glaze. The reaction between glazed MgO refractory and liquid steel is influenced by the basicity of the glaze layer. High-basicity slag would hinder the generation of MnO in both the glaze and refractory. Therefore, lower-basicity glaze needs to be avoided for the steelmaking process of medium-Mn steel grades.
