Conclusions
A method of enrichment of brucite by washing and sorting of it was developed. An experimental lot of composite slide gate plates for two teemings from the 300-ton steel teeming ladles of Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Combine was prepared from enriched fused brucite at Magnesite Combine. The physicochemical indices of the plates were 97.9 wt.% magnesium oxide with a nonequiaxiality of the periclase crystals of 1.94, 0.3% silica, 0.2% iron oxide, compressive strength 110 N/mm2, and open porosity 12%. Under conditions of repeated openings and closings the plates made it possible to provide 100% quality teeming of the first heat and to direct 60% of the slide gates to repeated teeming, which was done with 32%. For a final experimental verification it would be desirable to prepare a larger experimental production lot of refractories using the method developed with specific repeated use.
