The invention discloses a tap-hole filling material, main raw materials of which are
quartz sand, sintered magnesia clinker and waste and old magnesia-
chromite bricks and auxiliary materials of which are a carburant and a
sintering aid. The raw materials contain, by weight, 25-45% of
quartz sand, 30-60% of sintered magnesia clinker, 10-35% of waste and old magnesia-
chromite bricks, 0-2% of the carburant and 0-11% of the
sintering aid. A filling method of the tap-hole filling material comprises the following step: more than one tap-hole filling material with different ratios undergoes layered filling according to contents of the carburant and the
sintering aid from
low gradient to high gradient, and the contents of the carburant and the sintering aid at the bottom layer are the lowest. Through compounding of the main raw materials and the auxiliary materials and layered gradient filling, fluidity, sintering property and pouring rate of the
filling materials are raised, limitations such as poor fluidity, low free-opening rate and the like of existing tap-hole
filling materials are overcome, and technological requirements of converter tapping are met. In addition, cost is low.
