How High-Performance Refractory Mortar Solves Thermal Shock Challenges in Power and Steel Industries
2025-07-22
Customer Cases
In the demanding environments of power generation and steel manufacturing, thermal shock can severely compromise equipment integrity. At Zhengzhou Rongsheng Refractory Materials Co., Ltd., we’ve developed advanced refractory mortar solutions that withstand extreme temperature fluctuations—proven through real-world applications across 12+ countries. This case-driven article explores how our proprietary material composition and intelligent production process deliver unmatched durability, reduced downtime, and long-term cost savings. Backed by ISO and CE certifications, our custom-designed refractory systems are helping clients like a German steel plant reduce refractory failure rates by 65% and a Middle Eastern power station extend furnace life by 40%. Discover why leading global industries trust us for reliable thermal protection—and share your own challenges below.
Real-World Success: How High-Temperature Fireproof Mortar Solved Critical Challenges in Power & Steel Industries
In the high-stress environments of power generation and steelmaking, even a small failure in refractory materials can lead to costly downtime — sometimes over €50,000 per hour in large industrial plants. At Zhengzhou Rongsheng Refractories Co., Ltd., we’ve spent years refining our high-performance fireproof mortar to withstand extreme thermal shock — not just in theory, but in real-world applications across 30+ countries.
“In the steel industry, temperature swings between 1,500°C and ambient can cause cracks in standard mortars within weeks. Our solution? A tailored microstructure that reduces thermal expansion by up to 40%.”
What Makes Our Refractory Mortar Stand Out?
The secret lies in two breakthroughs:
- Customized Composition: We blend alumina-silica ceramics with nano-sized zirconia particles to enhance crack resistance under rapid heating/cooling cycles — tested at 1,700°C for over 500 thermal shocks without visible degradation.
- Smart Manufacturing: Our fully automated production line ensures consistent particle size distribution (±0.05 mm tolerance), reducing variability compared to manual mixing processes (which often vary by ±0.3 mm).

Case Study: Power Plant in Spain
A major coal-fired power station in Catalonia experienced repeated lining failures in its boiler tubes due to daily thermal cycling. After switching to our custom-formulated mortar, they reported:
- Zero structural damage after 18 months of continuous operation
- Reduced maintenance costs by 35%
- Increased uptime from 88% to 97% annually
