Anhydrous ramming mass for submerged arc furnaces

The Submerged Arc Furnace (SAF) uses arc and resistance heating to convert electrical energy into thermal energy, reducing metal oxides in ores within a closed or semi-closed environment. It is a core piece of equipment in the metallurgical industry, essential for high-temperature reduction smelting processes, and is primarily used to produce ferroalloys (such as ferrosilicon, ferromanganese, and ferrochrome), calcium carbide (CaC₂), yellow phosphorus, and other key products.

  • Product Description

    The Submerged Arc Furnace (SAF) utilizes arc and resistive heating to convert electrical energy into thermal energy, enabling the reduction of metal oxides from ores in a closed or semi-closed environment. As a core piece of equipment in the metallurgical industry for high-temperature reduction smelting, it is primarily used to produce ferroalloys (such as silicon iron, manganese iron, and chromium iron), calcium carbide (CaC₂), yellow phosphorus, and other key products. Traditionally, materials used for furnace tap holes (the slag and iron outlets of SAFs)—often simple, poorly designed, and crudely manufactured—have led to accelerated erosion of refractory materials in the tap hole area, severe oxidation damage, and frequent incidents of tap hole burn-through. As a result, the furnace tap hole has become one of the major factors limiting the operational lifespan of SAFs. To address these challenges, Zhengzhou Kexin Refractory Materials Co., Ltd. has developed a series of waterless ramming compounds tailored specifically to the unique conditions of each smelting process. These compounds are precisely matched to factors such as the type of smelted product, slag and iron composition, smelting temperature, furnace lining material, tap hole operating environment, and front-end furnace equipment. By doing so, the company helps customers maximize value while ensuring reliable performance. Notably, these waterless ramming compounds have demonstrated excellent results across a wide range of applications, including silicon iron, nickel iron, industrial silicon, manganese iron, chromium iron, calcium carbide, yellow phosphorus production, precious metals processing, and even the treatment of acid-washed stainless steel sludge and dust removal powders—proving their versatility and effectiveness in diverse mineral smelting scenarios.

Blast Furnace Clay for Ferroalloy Plants


Ferroalloys are crucial additives in steelmaking, used to adjust the chemical composition of steel and enhance its performance. Ferroalloy furnaces are specialized industrial melting devices designed specifically for producing ferroalloys. These smelting equipment types include submerged arc furnaces, blast furnaces, electric arc furnaces, and induction furnaces. As ferroalloy furnaces evolve toward larger-scale operations, increased automation, energy efficiency, and environmental sustainability, the demands on their furnace sealing materials are steadily rising. Operators have already recognized the critical importance of these materials, and simply copying or transferring existing solutions no longer meets modern production requirements. Zhengzhou Kexin Furnace Materials Co., Ltd. can develop tailored operational strategies and produce customized products based on key parameters such as equipment operating principles, smelting environments, product characteristics, and specific handling methods—ensuring that customer needs are met more effectively than ever before.

Baking-Free Ramming Material for Ferroalloy Furnaces


Iron alloy furnace non-baked ramming material is an unshaped refractory designed for lining construction or repair in iron alloy furnaces. Its key feature is that it can be used directly without the need for baking, simplifying the construction process and significantly reducing the lining installation timeline. Commonly applied to areas such as furnace bottoms and walls—both during new construction and repairs—it’s especially well-suited for smelting environments where high construction efficiency is critical.

Refractory castables for ferroalloy furnaces


Refractory castables for ferroalloy furnaces are specially designed, unshaped refractory materials tailored for the high-temperature, highly corrosive, and severely eroded areas of these furnaces. They are produced by mixing refractory aggregates, powders, binders, and additives, then casting them into shape. The formulation of these castables must be customized based on the specific alloy being smelted (e.g., silicon-based, manganese-based, or chromium-based), the composition of the furnace slag, and the operational process—making them a critical refractory material that ensures the long-term, reliable operation of ferroalloy furnaces.

Castable for ferroalloy ladles (tanks)


The castable material used for ferroalloy ladles (tanks) serves as the lining material inside containers designed for holding and transporting molten ferroalloys. It must withstand high-temperature molten iron erosion, slag attack, and thermal shock. Composed of a blend of refractory aggregates, fine powders, and binders, the formulation of the ferroalloy ladle castable needs to be tailored specifically according to the melting temperature of the ferroalloy type (e.g., silicon-based, manganese-based, or chromium-based) and the characteristics of the associated slag. This material is critical for ensuring safe transportation of ferroalloys and significantly extending the service life of the ladle itself.
