Working Environment of Steel Ladles

A worker wearing a camouflage jacket and red - and - white gloves is handling a tan refractory brick with a circular hole in the center. Surrounding the worker are several other similar bricks, indicating a construction or manufacturing setting.

Steel ladles are primarily used for containing molten steel. Before tapping, the ladle must be preheated and baked. During tapping, molten steel at approximately 1650°C is poured from the furnace into the ladle. The ladle not only endures intense thermal…

The Power Players of High Alumina Bricks – Revealed!

High alumina bricks are widely used in various high-temperature industrial applications due to their excellent refractory properties, including high thermal stability, resistance to corrosion, and mechanical strength.
