Steel plant – primary metallurgy
Refractory construction for primary metallurgy plant – electric arc furnaces, blast furnaces, LD converters and coke oven batteries.
Refractory construction for Steel plant – primary metallurgy
Primary metallurgy imposes the most extreme conditions on refractory materials: temperatures above 1,800 °C, chemically aggressive slags and enormous thermomechanical loading. SBS Refractory Service has extensive experience in the refractory lining and maintenance of steel plant units — from the electric arc furnace and the LD converter through to the coke oven battery.
Our specialists know the specific requirements of every unit and use state-of-the-art materials such as MgO-C bricks, carbon blocks and ceramic welding techniques. We work with the highest precision under extreme conditions — on schedule and to the strictest safety standards.
Whether a major project such as a complete blast furnace relining or a local repair on the electric arc furnace: we take on full project responsibility.
Typical challenges
Extremely high temperatures of well over 2,000 °C in the blast furnace
Aggressive FeO-bearing slags in the converter and the electric arc furnace
Alternating thermomechanical loading during cyclic melting processes
Gas exposure and explosive reactions during the oxygen refining process
Strict safety requirements for work in a high-risk environment
