Delta Section
In this important application damaged refractory causes expensive heat loss and repair. Fibres minimise these costs, particularly in the thin refractory walls between electrodes, denying heat an escape path and keeping energy and production costs down.

Recommendation: ME 446

Launder/Pouring Spout
Thermal shock associated with repeated teeming of molten steel through the launder results in cracked or spalled refractory and reduces the launder's campaign life. Fibre reinforcement inhibits cracking and retains the refractory intact, thereby considerably extending service life and reduced maintenance costs.

Recommendation: ME 446

Furnace Door
Radiant heat, slag build-up and removal, and repeated thermal and mechanical shock quickly crack and spall the door's lining, reducing its efficiency and working life. ME fibres will prevent cracking and spalled refractory so maintenance and energy costs remain low.
