A well-known metallurgical plant has long faced the problem of severe equipment wear and low operating efficiency under high-temperature working environment conditions. After careful analysis and evaluation, high-strength mullite castable was selected as the improved material, hoping to improve production efficiency and extend the service life of equipment.
Traditional casting materials often show poor wear resistance and crack resistance under extreme working conditions, resulting in frequent equipment shutdowns for maintenance, increasing production costs and downtime.
After selecting high-strength mullite castables, the metallurgical plant made a series of improvements, the key lies in its excellent high temperature resistance and wear resistance. After installation and adaptability testing, the high-strength mullite castables performed well in the application of metallurgical furnaces.
After using high-strength mullite castables, the operating efficiency of the equipment has been significantly improved. Specifically, the service life of the equipment has been extended by 30%, the number of shutdowns for maintenance has been reduced by half, and the slurry fluidity has been improved by 20%.
The operation manager of the metallurgical plant said: "The decision to choose high-strength mullite castable is one of the wisest choices we have made in recent years. It has greatly improved our production efficiency."
The successful application of high-strength mullite castables has proved its value in the metallurgical industry, solved multiple industry pain points, and laid a solid foundation for the sustainable development of enterprises. We hope that by sharing this customer story, we can provide a reference for the choices and decisions of other companies in the industry.
