Products Overview
Our Refractories for CAS-OB refining is a high-performance refractory product family engineered for CAS-OB refining furnace (Composition Adjustment by Sealed argon bubbling – Oxygen Blowing) service. CH Refractories has unique design on CAS cover structure, with refractories manufactured from high-quality corundum, fused spinel, and fused mullite as main raw materials, using ultra-low cement castable production process. The product family features stable quality, no cracking, good thermal shock resistance, anti-slag erosion, spalling resistance, and high service life performance for CAS-OB refining service.
The Refractories for CAS-OB refining product family is offered in two engineering-proven CAS and OB chemistry grades covering two service zones. The CH-CAS88 grade (CAS cover) features MgO+Al2O3 content minimum 88% for CAS cover service, with Bulk Density minimum 2.95 g/cm³, Cold Crushing Strength minimum 50 MPa after 110 °C curing and minimum 55 MPa after 1500 °C firing, and Permanent Linear Change 0 to +1 percent after 1500 °C firing. The CH-OB90 grade (OB oxygen gun) features MgO+Al2O3 content minimum 90% for OB oxygen gun service, with Bulk Density minimum 3.0 g/cm³, Cold Crushing Strength minimum 40 MPa after 110 °C curing and minimum 50 MPa after 1500 °C firing, and Permanent Linear Change -0.5 to +0.5 percent after 1500 °C firing. Both grades deliver excellent service performance for CAS-OB refining furnace.
Sourced from our Xinmi City, Zhengzhou, Henan, China facility, the Refractories for CAS-OB refining product family is engineered to ASTM, GB/T, and ISO refractory standards.
