Iron making Wear Resistance
Pioneering Wear Resistance Products
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories pioneered the use of ceramics in blast furnace stock houses in the early 1970s. Since that time, the company’s ceramic materials have become the industry standard in material handling systems for coke, ore, and sinter.
Ceramic lining systems are available for raw material handling systems in a range of processes, including:
- Docks and yards
- Coke plants
- Sinter plants
- Blast furnace stock houses
- Blast furnace charging equipment
- Gas cleaning
- PCI
- Slag granulation
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ team of qualified and experienced specialists is on hand to discuss any specific application requirements.
FAQ
Can Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ wear materials withstand the raw materials used in the demanding operational conditions of a blast furnace stock house?
Extending equipment service life and maximizing operational levels in a blast furnace stock house requires wear-resistant materials that can withstand the harsh conditions typical of this environment.
Wear-resistant materials from Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories offer high abrasion resistance and significantly longer campaign life versus various types of steel, hardened or overlaid steels, plastics, and rubber.
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ products also offer excellent corrosion resistance and a low co-efficient friction on the wear surface, allowing materials to flow easily - essential requirements for maintaining a cost-effective stock house that significantly contributes to a low cost per ton.
Do Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ wear-resistant materials solve the abrasion and corrosion resistance challenges of key components on the blast furnace?
Extending equipment service life and maximizing operational levels in a blast furnace’s key components requires wear-resistant materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of impact, erosion, and corrosion.
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories leverages its 50+ years of experience in iron blast furnace installations and its unparalleled application and engineering expertise to offer outstanding abrasion protection products.
A wide range of products offers significantly longer service lives versus various types of steel, hardened steels, overlays, chrome irons and other traditional wear materials.
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ products also offer a low co-efficient friction on the wear surface, allowing materials to flow easily.
How do Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories’ products extend the lifetime of slag granulation equipment versus traditional refractory lined and hardened steel components?
Abrasion and corrosion can adversely affect operational efficiency and increase downtime. Wear-resistant materials from Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories provide excellent abrasion and corrosion resistance while also ensuring a very low coefficient of friction that will not hinder the flow of the slag through the system.
Systems can generally be retrofitted with little or no modification to existing systems, meaning that shorter outage periods are required to install ceramic linings.
Saint-Gobain Performance Ceramics & Refractories leverages its 50+ years of experience in iron blast furnace installations and its unparalleled application and engineering expertise to provide manufacture products offering outstanding.
Abrasion, corrosion, oxidation and thermal shock resistance versus traditional refractories and metallic wear materials - essential requirements that significantly contribute to a low cost per ton.
