The Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) is the heart of steel production, responsible for the conversion of molten iron into steel. However, the BOF vessel endures extreme conditions, with high temperatures, aggressive slags, and mechanical stresses constantly impacting its refractory lining. Over time, this relentless assault can lead to wear and tear on the lining, compromising vessel integrity and hindering production efficiency. This is where Large Surface Repairing Mix for BOF comes in as a critical solution.

What is a Large Surface Repairing Mix for BOF?

Large Surface Repairing Mix for BOF is a specially formulated refractory material designed for the efficient repair of extensive worn areas within the BOF vessel. It offers several key advantages over traditional patching techniques:

• Fast and Efficient Application: Unlike conventional brick-by-brick repairs, Large Surface Repairing Mix can be applied quickly and efficiently using a gunning machine. This minimizes downtime and allows for a swift return to production.
• Superior Coverage: The mix is designed to cover large surface areas effectively, providing a comprehensive solution for extensive wear zones within the BOF.
• Excellent Bonding: Large Surface Repairing Mix forms a strong bond with the existing refractory lining, ensuring the repaired area remains stable and durable throughout BOF operation.
• High Thermal Resistance: The mix boasts exceptional thermal resistance, capable of withstanding the extreme temperatures encountered within the BOF vessel.
• Good Erosion Resistance: The mix offers superior resistance to erosion from molten steel and aggressive slags, extending the lifespan of the repaired area.

Applications of Large Surface Repairing Mix for BOF:

Large Surface Repairing Mix for BOF finds application in various areas within the vessel, including:

• BOF sidewalls: Repairing worn areas on the sidewalls, which are susceptible to erosion from splashing slag and molten metal.
• BOF bottom: Addressing wear and tear on the BOF bottom, which can occur due to factors like slag accumulation and high temperatures.
• Impact zones: Repairing areas within the BOF that experience significant impact from the forceful injection of oxygen and other process materials.
