Where are refractories used?

Refractories are critical in any industry that involves high temperatures. Anadolu Refrakter’s products are primarily used in:

• Iron and steel production: Ladle and tundish systems, converters, and furnaces.
• Cement and lime kilns: Essential for lining high-temperature kilns.
• Glass and ceramics: Furnace linings to handle molten materials.
• Petrochemical industry: Reactor linings and high-temperature processing equipment.
• Power generation: Boiler linings for handling extreme temperatures.

What are good refractories?

Good refractories are defined by their ability to withstand intense heat, maintain structural integrity, and resist chemical corrosion. Anadolu Refrakter excels in manufacturing:

• High thermal shock resistance materials.
• Low thermal conductivity products that provide effective insulation.
• Chemically stable refractories that resist slag, molten metal, and aggressive industrial chemicals.

Products:

Anadolu Refrakter offers a comprehensive range of refractory products designed for durability and performance:

• Ladle slide plates and refractories: Control the flow of molten metal in steel-making ladles, ensuring precise handling.
• Ladle slide systems, tundish mechanisms, and spares: Provide superior control and functionality for molten steel handling.
• Tundish zirconia nozzles: Highly durable and heat-resistant for precise steel casting.
• Refractory mortars (Alumina, Magnesite): Provide excellent bonding and heat resistance for furnace linings.
• Shaped refractories: Customized for specific industrial applications, including bricks and pre-formed shapes.
• Conductive hot repair mortar for DC-EAF: Used for in-situ repairs in DC Electric Arc Furnaces, maintaining efficiency without shutdowns.
• Slag cutting dart for steel converters: Controls slag flow, essential in converter operations.
• Tundish flow control system: Ensures smooth and controlled steel flow in the casting process.
• Ladle nozzle sand: Prevents blockage in ladle nozzles, ensuring operational consistency.
• Slide plate and nozzle sheets: Key components for maintaining steel flow systems.

What are the raw materials for refractories?

Anadolu Refrakter uses premium raw materials that define the quality of its products:

• Alumina (Al2O3): Known for its high melting point and thermal resistance, widely used in furnace linings and ladle systems.
• Silica (SiO2): Common in glass production and coke oven refractories.
• Magnesia (MgO): A core material in basic refractories, especially in the steel industry.
• Zirconia (ZrO2): Highly resistant to thermal shock and corrosion, used in tundish nozzles and high-temperature applications.
• Carbon-based refractories: Used in environments requiring superior thermal shock resistance, such as steel production.
