In the high - temperature operation of metallurgical industrial furnaces, traditional refractory materials often fail frequently because they cannot match specific working conditions. This article will explore how Zhengzhou Rongsheng Refractory Materials Co., Ltd. provided a reliable and efficient solution for a large steel enterprise through a customized refractory plate case.
A well - known metallurgical enterprise was facing a serious problem. The frequent damage of the furnace lining led to production halts. On average, they had to stop production for about 10 days a year due to furnace lining issues, resulting in an estimated annual loss of $500,000. The original refractory materials used in their industrial furnaces had significant limitations. They could only withstand temperatures up to 1500°C, far from meeting the actual operating temperature of 1700 - 1800°C in the furnace. As a result, the materials would crack and erode quickly, reducing the service life of the furnace lining.
Given the limitations of traditional refractory materials, a customized solution became a must. Rongsheng's customized sintered silicon carbide plates were developed to address these specific problems. These plates have a temperature resistance range of 1770°C - 2000°C, which can fully meet the high - temperature requirements of the metallurgical furnace. Moreover, they are produced through an automated production process, ensuring high - quality and consistent products that comply with ISO 9001 certification standards.
The sintered silicon carbide plates from Rongsheng have several key technical parameters. The high - temperature resistance not only extends the service life of the industrial furnace but also improves energy efficiency. With traditional materials, the energy consumption for heating the furnace to the required temperature was about 300 kWh per batch. After using Rongsheng's plates, the energy consumption was reduced to about 250 kWh per batch, a reduction of about 16.7%. In terms of the furnace's service life, the traditional refractory lining needed to be replaced every 6 months, while the Rongsheng plates can last for 18 months, tripling the service life.
| Aspect | Traditional Solution | Customized Solution (Rongsheng) |
|---|---|---|
| Security | High risk of cracking and collapse due to low temperature resistance | Low risk, stable performance at high temperatures |
| Economy | High energy consumption and frequent replacement costs | Low energy consumption, long - term cost - effective |
| Maintenance Convenience | Frequent replacement, high labor intensity | Less frequent replacement, easy to maintain |
"After using Rongsheng's customized sintered silicon carbide plates, our furnace's stability has been significantly improved. The production halt caused by furnace lining problems has been greatly reduced, and the energy cost has also decreased. It is a very reliable and efficient solution." - A representative of the large steel enterprise
