Description

Converter self-flow repairing material (converter bulk repair mix) is a high-magnesia unshaped refractory made from quality fused magnesia, high-purity magnesia and magnesia-calcia sand, hot-mixed with organic binders, wetting agents and sintering aids. Its outstanding feature is excellent hot-state self-flowing behaviour: when charged into the furnace at high temperature, the material flows and spreads by itself to trunnion, large face and taphole surroundings where direct bricklaying is difficult, and rapidly sinters into a dense repair layer bonding firmly with the residual lining. Compared with manual patching, self-flow repair material gives more even coverage, shorter downtime and faster furnace recovery, making it the core material for daily converter maintenance and campaign extension.

Key Features

  • Hot-state self-flowing: spreads by itself at high temperature for even coverage.
  • Fast sintering: uses furnace residual heat to sinter quickly, reducing repair time.
  • High bonding strength: sinters with residual lining into an integral layer, no peeling.
  • Low fume emission: optimized organic components minimize smoke during repair.
  • Erosion and scouring resistance: magnesia formulation resists slag and steel attack.
  • Flexible installation: supports chute bulk charging and gunning machine application.

Typical Applications

  • Hot repair of converter large face (front wall) and trunnion zone.
  • Repair around converter taphole and upper taphole area.
  • Patching of locally eroded zones in converter bottom and lining.
  • Daily maintenance of converters in mid-late campaign.
  • Combined with gunning material for comprehensive lining maintenance.

FAQs

Why must converter large-face repair material be "self-flowing"?

The large face and trunnion zones have limited tilting angles, making manual charging uneven. Self-flow material has low viscosity at high temperature, flows and spreads by itself to fill pits and irregular areas for even repair.

How soon can the converter tap after repair?

Generally 10-30 minutes of sintering (depending on layer thickness and furnace temperature), guided by furnace condition, minimizing non-productive time.

What is the difference from gunning material?

Large-face self-flow material is used for bulk charging on the large face and trunnion, forming by self-weight flow; gunning material is sprayed at high speed by a gunning machine for local thin patching and fast forming. They are used together to cover different maintenance needs.

Can grades with different MgO content be customized?

Yes. Henan Songrui New Refractory Materials Co., Ltd. supplies grades with MgO 76%-82%, selected by furnace type, slag system and erosion condition.
