Price of tundish refractory
How much is the refractory used in continuous casting, The price is only for reference. Synthetic refractory material price depend on the type, construction technology of refractory material, in the selection of refractory at the same time, also choose the service partners, our purpose is to make the tundish increased service life.
Refractory construction technology for tundish continuous casting
Along with the development of refractory materials, construction technology for synthetic refractory brick composite masonry and amorphous powder integral pouring, and “three materials, 7 minutes of construction” can illustrate the importance of the construction. Different construction techniques meet various needs of users. RS recommends the integral casting process for continuous casting, which can improve the integrity of the inner lining of the tundish and increase the service life of the tundish. The permanent layer thickness of medium and small sized tundish is generally around 100-120mm, and the thickness of large tundish is around 150-200mm.
Matters need attention of tundish refractory
- The steelmaking process of the steelmaking plant can directly influence the refractory materials used in the tundish and the types of use.
- For firebrick masonry, appropriate grade of firebrick shall be selected according to the requirements of the use site.
- Use amorphous refractory masonry in the middle, and choose the appropriate construction method for construction.
- It is forbidden to use refractory materials that do not meet the requirements for use and the quality is not up to the standards.
- Waterproof, waterproof, moisture-proof and classified storage are required when storing.
- It is prohibited to use expired amorphous refractory. The shelf life of amorphous refractory is generally 6 months. If the shelf life is exceeded, the use effect will be greatly reduced.
Way of transportation for tundish refractory
- Use tons of bags, woven bags or wooden supports and wooden boxes, depending on the refractories.
- During transportation, it shall be rainproof and moisture-proof, and handle with care during loading and unloading.
- If there is any damage during loading and unloading, the spare tonnage package delivered can be used.
Above is simple introduction for synthetic refractories, what kind of refractory material for steelmaking process depends on the steel mills, RS is a professional manufacturer of refractory materials and the development of synthetic monolithic refractories, and obtain good evaluation, several users more steelmaking, ironmaking and other metallurgical refractories solutions consulting rongsheng, we provide consulting service for you free of charge.
