Abstract
Refractory ceramic fiber (RCF) boards are widely used because their insulating properties allow them to reduce energy consumption during high-temperature industrial processes. However, since conventional RCF boards undergo a linear shrinkage of more than 3% above 1300â¯Â°C, furnace lining parts, such as the ceiling, wall, and bottom made of RCF board easily become fragile. In order to suppress the shrinkage of the RCF board above 1300â¯Â°C, the RCF board surface was coated with a silica sol containing several types of alumina particles. When a RCF board coated with a silica sol slurry containing 50 mass% alumina platelets was heated at 1400â¯Â°C for 8â¯h, the linear shrinkage of the RCF board decreased from 4.3% to 1.5%. This, in turn, improved the heat resistance of the RCF board up to 1400â¯Â°C.
