Outline


Excellent wear resistance in all wear modes at the furnace top

At the top of a bell-less blast furnace, countermeasures have been taken against all sort of wear modes from abrasive wear to heavy impact wear mainly by using high-chromium cast iron materials. Tungsten composite cast material is used particularly for the rotating chute that is employed in charging raw material into the blast furnace, to drastically extend the life.

Features

Demonstrating stable resistance to impact and abrasive wear

Suitable high-chromium cast iron material (CIX2T or SHNX) can be selected for the operating conditions of the liner.

Tungsten carbide composite cast material for heavy impact wear

WC composite cast material (UCX) is used for heavily worn parts to drastically extend service life.

Wear-resistant material excellent in resistance to thermal shock

Since protectors are subjected to sudden thermal shocks, they must provide stable creep strength and wear resistance even under high temperatures.
The high-Cr and -Mn based KM Series demonstrate the excellent characteristics of their heat- and wear-resistant wear plates in blast furnaces.
