At DGC, we take pride in leading the way in innovative and meticulous Arc Furnace Refractory Installation Services. Our commitment to excellence and precision in every step of the process ensures unparalleled quality and reliability in our operations.
Refractory installation on an electric arc furnace (EAF) is a crucial process that requires high-quality refractory bricks to withstand high temperatures and reduce heat loss to create liquid steel. Magnesite and Magnesia-C (MgO-C) bricks and Monolithics are used in the side wall and hearth of EAF.
The wear rate of refractory in EAF is the largest compared to other types of steel-making equipment, so it is necessary to think about extending the EAF refractory lining life to maximize economic benefits. The negative factors influencing low refractory life include very high-temperature operation, chemical interaction of lining refractory with slag, high thermal shock due to intermittent scrap charging, direct impact of electric arc, and use of oxygen.
SETTING NEW STANDARDS IN REFRACTORY INSTALLATION
Our expert approach:
Inspection and Preparation
Meticulously examining the shell floor using advanced technology ensures precise measurements for accuracy.
Foundation and Material Casting
Welding flat bars and using Ulzner pumps ensures a strong foundation.
Floor Installation
Strategically layering floor bricks guarantees proper expansion and leveling.
Anchoring and Shutter Installation
Methodical construction of welder towers and clockwise shutter installation secure the furnace.
Refractory Casting and Demolition
Strict protocols for casting and curing, followed by precise ramming, ensure structural integrity.
Final Steps
Meticulous demolition, necessary rebuilds, and critical element installation complete our process.
