Application Industry: Refractories for Steel Industry
Application Equipment: Ladle Bottom and Sidewall Working Layer
Size: Custom precast block geometry per ladle working lining design (free engineering on request)
Products Overview
Our Pre-Cast Shapes for Working Layer is a high-performance precast refractory product engineered for ladle bottom and sidewall working layer service. The product family is manufactured from high-purity corundum, magnesium aluminate spinel, and fused MgO as the main raw materials, with superfine powder bonding technology and appropriate additives. The product family is pre-casted into desired shapes and featured with high strength, better corrosion and abrasion resistance, and thermal shock resistance, with stable quality for ladle working layer installation.
The Pre-Cast Shapes for Working Layer product family is offered in two engineering-proven GBY chemistry grades. The CH-GBY88 grade features Al2O3 content minimum 88% and MgO content 3%-10% for high-demand ladle bottom and sidewall working layer. The CH-GBY85 grade features Al2O3 content minimum 85% and MgO content 3%-10% for general ladle bottom and sidewall working layer. Both grades deliver Bulk Density minimum 3.00 to 3.05 g/cm³, Cold Crushing Strength minimum 40 MPa after 110 °C curing for 24 hours and minimum 65 MPa after 1550 °C firing for 3 hours, and Permanent Linear Change 0 to +1.0 percent after 1550 °C firing for 3 hours. The products are mainly used for bottom and sidewall lining of large-and medium-size ladles together with MgO-C brick for slag zone, especially for low and ultra-low carbon steel production.
Sourced from our Xinmi City, Zhengzhou, Henan, China facility, each Pre-Cast Shapes for Working Layer grade is engineered to ASTM, GB/T, and ISO refractory standards.
