| From the cast house floor to iron runners and ladles, Fibretech's
unique range of stainless steel fibres for the Iron making
industry offer:
- Improved refractory performance
- Lower installation costs
- Better operating efficiency
- Lower refractory costs and increased operating plant availability
Blast furnace refractories are repeatedly bombarded with hot air
(thermal shock) and charging of iron ore, coke etc (mechanical
shock). Fibre reinforced refractory will resist these forces
which otherwise crack and spall castable, shortening its working
life and increasing maintenance costs.
In
addition Ladle charging, lance injection and pouring operations
cause refractory to crack and spall. In these applications
fibres can considerably extend service life by strengthening
the refractory.
