The stopper rod is a type of shaped refractory material utilized during the continuous casting process; it serves to maintain a stable liquid level within the mold, regulate the linear flow rate of the molten steel, and ensure both the surface and internal quality of the cast billet. In actual production, the stopper rod plays …
Operations at an intermediate-frequency (IF) furnace site involve the use of diverse equipment and entail the simultaneous, overlapping work of multiple trades; consequently, the environment is prone to sudden accidents and presents significant production hazards. It is therefore imperative to continuously increase investment in safety measures for IF furnace operations to ensure equipment integrity. Furthermore, …
On the surface, the smelting and pouring process appears relatively simple and quick; a single batch of molten steel takes only a few dozen minutes, without the cumbersome operations, intricate details, or lengthy timeframes associated with the mold-making process. However, upon closer examination, the smelting process involves much deeper theoretical knowledge—ranging from furnace lining characteristics, …
Introduction to room temperature thermal insulation refractories There are many specifications of thermal insulation refractory materials. We will briefly introduce them: 1.Vacuum insulation panel 1.1 Characteristics of vacuum insulation panels: (1) Convenient construction, light weight and cost saving (2) High temperature resistance, high pressure resistance and long service life (3) Good high temperature insulation performance …
1.Bulk density Bulk density of refractory material is the mass per unit volume, which is usually used to describe the density and weight characteristics of the material. Bulk density is one of the important physical and chemical indexes of refractory bricks, which can directly affect the compactness of refractory bricks, as well as thermal insulation …

High alumina refractory bricks play an extremely important role in industrial furnaces due to their excellent high temperature resistance. According to different classification standards, high alumina refractory bricks can be subdivided into multiple types to meet various specific application requirements. The following are the main classification methods of high alumina refractory bricks: Classification according to …
Refractory castables are a type of unshaped refractory materials. They are a mixture of refractory aggregates, binders and admixtures, which can be used as mud after adding water (or liquid binder) and mixing. Refractory castables have a certain coagulation and hardening time after construction. Therefore, after casting and forming, they need to be cured for …
