5、ssociated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2. Significance and Use2.1 This practice outlines a procedure which, when appro-priate evaluation
6、 methods are added, can be useful in thedevelopment of new products or in the selection of products tobe used in contact with a particular slag composition.2.2 A gradient exists through the test specimens that iscontrolled by the thermal conductivity of the specimens andbackup material. The slag is
7、constantly renewed so that a highrate of corrosion is maintained. The flow of the slag can causemechanical erosion of materials. The tilt and rotational speedof the furnace will affect the amount of mechanical erosion.2.3 Use caution in interpreting results when materials ofvastly different types ar
8、e included in a single run. Care must betaken to prevent oxidation of carbon-containing materialsduring heat up; failure to do so can result in highly erraticresults. A reference refractory specimen, or specimens, shouldbe used for comparison.3. Apparatus3.1 Furnace, consisting of a cylindrical shel
9、l, typically 18in. (456 mm) long and with a 10-in (254-mm) inside diameter,mounted on rollers and motor driven. Both the rotation and tiltof the furnace along its long axis should allow for adjustment.3.2 BurnerA gas-oxygen torch capable of heating thefurnace to 3200F (1760C). The burner should be e
10、quippedwith flowmeters to monitor gas and oxygen flows.3.3 Optical Pyrometer.3.4 Tools, for (1) a means of feeding slag pellets intofurnace, and (2) to assemble and dismantle the furnace.3.5 Gas Atmosphere Analyzer and Sampling Equipment.3.6 Mold, to form plastic, castable, and rammed samples.3.7 Mo

(228 mm) long and havea cross section as shown in Fig. 1. The 1.75 by 9-in. (44 by228-mm) face should be an or
12、iginal surface.4.2 One or more reference samples should be included ineach test run.5. Assembly5.1 Six test specimens, as described in Section 4, shallconstitute a test lining. This lining can be assembled around ahexagonal shaped mandrel with 1.75-in. (44-mm) faces andtaped or steel-banded for subs
13、equent handling. The liningshould be positioned midway in the 18-in. (456-mm) length ofthe shell. Any suitable granular or castable refractory materialmay be installed behind the test lining.5.2 It has been found convenient to use precast plugs to fillthe two ends of the shell. These should be 4.5 i
14、n. (114 mm)thick by 10 in. (254 mm) in diameter to fit inside the shell. Thehexagonal holes in the plug should match those of the testlining. For basic slags, the plugs should be formed using a1This practice is under the jurisdiction ofASTM Committee C08 on Refractoriesand is the direct responsibili

18、nace.6. Preparation of Slag Pellets6.1 Whatever the slag to be used, synthetic or prefused, itshould be ground to pass an ASTM No. 30 (600-m) sieve(equivalent to a 28-mesh Tyler Standard Series) and havesuitable binder cast, extruded, or pressed into convenientpellets. A 1-in. (25-mm) diameter by 1.
19、5-in (38-mm) longcylinder is a convenient form. Depending on the slag used, drypellets of this size will weigh approximately 0.1 lb (45 g).Afterforming, the pellets are dried, weighed, and counted to deter-mine the number of pellets to be charged into the furnaceduring the test. Optionally, carbon b
20、lack may be added to theslag mixture if a reducing test atmosphere is desired.7. Procedure7.1 In principle, the furnace is typically tilted 3 axiallytoward the burner end. Charge preformed slag pellets into theupper end of the tilted rotary furnace. The furnace, preheatedby the gas-oxygen torch at t
21、he other end, shall be at atemperature to melt the slag pellets. The molten slag washesover the lining and drips from the lower end of the furnace infront of the burner.7.2 Rotate the furnace at a constant speed, normally 212rpm.7.3 During the test, measure the temperature of the slag bymeans of an
22、optical pyrometer immediately prior to chargingfresh slag. Read the temperature of the slag at the lower onethird of the 9-in. (228-mm) long brick specimen every 15 min,and maintain this temperature within 618F (610C) of thedesired test temperature.7.4 The test atmosphere is usually oxidizing. In sp
23、ecialcases, a reducing atmosphere may be desirable which may beobtained using carbon black additives to the slag mixture anda reducing flame. In all cases, atmosphere analyses to identifyoxygen pressure and monitoring throughout the run is sug-gested.7.5 In a typical basic brick specimen run, heat t
24、he furnace totemperature in approximately 2 to 212 h and soak at tempera-ture for12 h, during which time charge 2 lb (0.9 kg) of slagpellets to coat the lining and provide a starting bath. Startregular feeding of slag pellets at a rate of 2 to 4 lb (0.9 to 1.8kg)/h and continue for 5 h. For less sla
25、g-resistant fireclay oralumina specimens, coupled with more erosive slags, theamount of slag charged and the time of the run may be reduced.7.6 At the end of testing, immediately after shutting off theoxygen and gas and the motor, tilt the furnace to a verticalposition to allow the remaining slag to
