A Preliminary Study of Furnace Materials from Shuiquangou Iron Smelting Site of Liao and Jin Period in Beijing

摘要

Microstructure, chemical composition, physical property and high temperature process of furnace materials from Shuiquangou site were analyzed in order to promote an exploratory scientific study on cast iron smelting furnace materials in ancient China. The results showed that raw materials were locally collected and gone through a screened process; there were at least two productions of furnace lining which used in different parts of the furnace. Furnace materials can provide enough Na_(2)O, Al_(2)O_(3), and SiO_(2) into slags. The refractoriness of them were about 1200–1300°C, and the smelting temperature was among 1300–1500°C.
