Abstract: Submersed entry nozzle is critical functional refractories in continuous casting and the slag line parts has the worst working environment. At present, the most suitable slag line material is ZrO2-C material. In order to improve the performance of submersed entry nozzle, ZrO2-C material was prepared by using zirconia and flake graphite as the main raw materials, zirconia fiber and metal silica powder as reinforcement materials, and phenolic resin as binder. The effects of three heat treatment temperatures, 1 000 ℃, 1 200 ℃ and 1 500 ℃, were compared on the properties and microstructure of ZrO2-C material. The results show that when the heat treatment temperature is higher than 1 200 ℃, the silicon powder reacts with carbon to form silicon carbide, and a large number of whisker silicon carbide interleaves with ZrO2 fiber to form a network structure, which improves the mechanical properties and thermal shock resistance of the material.

Key words: refractory, ZrO2-C material, heat treatment temperature, thermal shock resistance, silicon carbide whisker, submersed entry nozzle
