Energy-Efficiency Refractory Bricks for Steel Ladle Linings

Steel ladle lining plays an important role on energy consumption during production, and refractory lining design contributes to minimize thermal bath loss and shell temperature. A new generation of unfired zero-carbon refractories was developed with two specific approaches: (i) replacement of firing bricks reducing CO2 footprint and (ii) replacement of carbon-containing refractories while increasing performance. Bricks can be used in working and safety linings with a unique microstructure with better heat scattering and similar thermomechanical properties. This work presents customers’ performance compared to traditional products, highlighting energy savings.
