Description

Al₂O₃-SiC-C iron runner castable (ASC castable) is a monolithic refractory for blast furnace iron troughs made of super-grade bauxite clinker as the main aggregate, with silicon carbide (SiC) and carbon materials added and a composite bond system. SiC gives the material excellent resistance to molten iron erosion and slag attack, while carbon significantly improves non-wetting behavior and thermal shock stability, making ASC castable the core material for long-life main troughs, iron runners and slag runners.

Key Features

  • High slag resistance: SiC and carbon components work together to resist molten slag and iron corrosion.
  • Excellent erosion resistance: Dense, high-strength body resists high-velocity molten iron flow.
  • Good thermal shock stability: Adapts to intermittent tapping and frequent temperature fluctuation.
  • High iron throughput: With proper material and structure design, main trough throughput typically exceeds 200,000 tonnes depending on conditions.
  • Easy installation: Vibration casting for efficient installation, available as monolithic or segmented precast.

Typical Applications

  • Blast furnace main trough (iron runner) working lining
  • Iron runners, slag runners and branch runners
  • Swinging spouts (launders)
  • Hot metal ladle lining repair and supporting products

FAQs

What iron throughput can Al₂O₃-SiC-C iron runner castable achieve?

Under normal operating conditions with quality ASC castable and proper maintenance, main trough throughput generally reaches 200,000–300,000 tonnes; the actual value depends on tapping temperature, slag basicity and maintenance level.

What should be noted during main trough installation?

Control water addition, ensure thorough vibration and air release; after installation, dry slowly along the heating curve to avoid explosive spalling from rapid heating; timely repair of the slag-line area significantly extends life.

Can it be supplied as segmented precast blocks?

Yes. We support monolithic or segmented precasting of main troughs to shorten on-site installation time and reduce production losses.

Is the advantage over ordinary high-alumina trough castable significant?

Ordinary high-alumina trough castable typically achieves 80,000–120,000 tonnes; ASC castable usually improves throughput by more than 50% thanks to stronger slag and erosion resistance.
