Properties, section structure and service results of recycled MgO-C bricks and new MgO-C bricks for la-dle slag line of Baosteel were analyzed and compared, and the measures of improving stability and quality of recycled MgO-C bricks were summarized. The results show that: ( 1 ) High quality recycled MgO - C materi-als can be produced by scientific, meticulous and strict management for every process such as dismantling fur-nace, selection, removing impurity and slag, stacking and homogenization; (2) Using high quality recycled materials and reasonable production technique, recycled MgO-C bricks with better properties and service efficien-cy than those of new MgO - C brick can be produced; (3) Service efficiency of recycled MgO-C bricks is good because of its high density, good oxidation resist-ance and reasonable structure.
