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…

Characteristics and Applications of Silica Brick

Silica brick is a refractory product primarily composed of silica (SiO₂ content ≥93%). It is manufactured from quartzite with a small amount of mineralizer and fired at high temperatures. Its mineral composition consists of a multiphase structure including tridymite, cristobalite,…

Properties and Fundamental Requirements of Refractory Materials

Generally speaking, refractory materials are inorganic non-metallic materials with a refractoriness of no less than 1580°C. Refractoriness refers to the stability of a refractory material in resisting high-temperature effects without load, that is, its ability to resist melting or softening…
