Activity Description
The production activities of refractory castables include raw material preparation, batching, mixing, pouring, demolding, drying and baking, inspection, packaging and other processes.
Process Description
Refractory castables are mainly used as permanent lining materials for tundishes. Composed primarily of diaspore, mullite, and high-alumina bauxite as main raw materials, and bonded with α-Al2O3, silica fume, and pure calcium aluminate cement, these refractory castables are mixed on-site with an appropriate amount of water to form refractory concrete. They are cast into shape using molds in a single operation, then demolded after curing, and finally dried and baked to form a high-strength, monolithic tundish permanent lining.
