“Steel by application is projected to be the largest, in terms of value, during the forecast period.”
In the steel industry, dry ramming mass plays a crucial role. It finds diverse applications in various steelmaking processes, including lining ladles for the transportation and pouring of molten steel, constructing covers for ladles to retain heat during transportation, lining tundishes for the temporary holding and distribution of molten metal during continuous casting, and providing refractory lining in reheat furnaces used to bring steel ingots or slabs to desired temperatures. Additionally, dry ramming mass is utilized in the lining of steel crucibles for smaller-scale alloy production, in pouring channels and troughs to guide molten steel from furnaces to molds, ensuring a controlled and smooth flow during casting processes. Furthermore, it contributes to the thermal stability and wear resistance of mixer furnaces employed in blending different grades of steel or alloys. The versatility of dry ramming mass makes it an integral component in enhancing the efficiency, durability, and quality of various steel manufacturing applications.
“Alumina ramming mass by type is projected to be the largest, in terms of value, during the forecast period.”
Alumina ramming mass stands out as a preferred choice in specific applications owing to its distinctive properties that confer several advantages over silica and magnesia-based ramming masses. Comprising primarily high-alumina aggregates, often exceeding 80% alumina content, it ensures excellent refractoriness and resistance to high temperatures. Notably, its commendable thermal shock resistance proves crucial in environments characterized by rapid temperature fluctuations, as commonly encountered in metal melting and casting processes. Well-suited for non-ferrous metal applications, particularly in the melting and holding of metals like aluminum and its alloys, alumina ramming mass boasts chemical inertness, preventing undesirable reactions with molten metals or slags and thereby ensuring the stability of the lining. The material’s versatility extends to various non-ferrous metal melting processes, underlining its adaptability to diverse industrial applications. Further enhancing its utility, alumina ramming mass exhibits notable abrasion resistance, contributing to the longevity and durability of refractory linings within furnaces. The adaptability of alumina ramming mass to different furnace designs and operating conditions adds a layer of flexibility to its application, making it a versatile and reliable choice across a spectrum of industrial settings.
“Lining by function is projected to be the largest, in terms of value, during the forecast period.”
Refractory materials play a pivotal role in various industrial facets, primarily during the initial construction and installation of furnaces, kilns, and industrial equipment. The demand for extensive refractory linings in new facilities arises from the necessity to withstand elevated temperatures, corrosive environments, and mechanical stresses. Capitalizing on the long lifecycles of furnaces and industrial equipment, refractory linings endure for extended periods before necessitating significant repairs or replacements, fostering a continuous demand for lining materials. Industries prioritize preventive maintenance to proactively extend equipment lifespan, exemplified by regular inspections and repairs of refractory linings to avert costly downtime, ensuring efficient and safe operations. The critical role of refractory linings in preserving the integrity of industrial processes, and shielding against high temperatures, chemical reactions, and mechanical wear, maintains a consistent need for high-quality refractory materials in lining furnaces and various processing units. Their widespread applications across diverse industries such as steel, cement, glass, non-ferrous metals, and petrochemicals contribute to a substantial market for lining materials. Moreover, the construction of new facilities and the expansion of existing ones, propelled by global industrialization and development projects, propel the demand for refractory materials for lining applications.
