Ironmaking production begins with the reduction process, where the iron ore reacts with the carbon sources (coke) inside the blast furnace.

In addition to alkali and zinc attack, the occurrence of molten iron and slag calls for SiAlON bonded materials – either the silicon carbide Sicanit® AI3 or the corundum-based Coranit 3S. The final decision depends on thermal conductivity requirement - low, to save energy, or high, to ensure a protective covering.
