In the demanding environment of steel production, the linings of ladles and tundishes are subjected to extreme thermal cycling and corrosive slag. Protecting these critical components is key to efficient and continuous operation.
Our high-purity White Silica Fume is a powerful additive for refractory mixes. When incorporated, it fills microscopic voids, creating a denser, more cohesive lining structure. This leads to two major benefits for steelmakers:
- Enhanced Thermal Shock Resistance: The refined matrix can better withstand rapid heating and cooling cycles without cracking or spalling.
- Prolonged Lining Life: With improved resistance to abrasion and chemical corrosion from molten steel and slag, the refractories last longer, directly reducing the frequency of repairs and replacements.
By integrating our white silica fume into your application, you can achieve more reliable production runs and lower overall operating costs.
