Description

Iron Runner Castable

Material System & Positioning

Iron runner castable is dedicated to BF casthouse main, branch and slag troughs, with Al₂O₃ ≥65%, SiC+C ≥15%, service up to 1550℃ and single-campaign throughput ≥180,000 t. Designed against continuous hot-metal and slag attack with thermal-shock and structural-spalling resistance, it supports on-line hot patching. It is Henan Songrui's core grade for BF casthouses.

Key Performance

  • Dedicated design: separate grades for main, branch and slag troughs.
  • Erosion resistance: withstands continuous hot-metal and slag attack.
  • Large throughput: ≥180,000 t per campaign, long maintenance intervals.
  • Thermal shock resistance: tolerates intermittent tapping temperature swings.
  • Easy repair: on-line hot gunning and tamping patching cut downtime.

Applications

  • Steel & Iron: BF casthouse main trough metal/slag zones, branch troughs, slag troughs, trough covers, swing spouts.
  • Hot metal treatment: de-sulfurization bays, torpedo car mouths.

Selection Advice

Zones differ: the main trough metal zone needs the highest erosion resistance (higher SiC+C); branch and slag troughs use matching grades for balanced life and economy. Let Henan Songrui design the lining by trough type and tapping practice.

Installation & Maintenance

Form and cast in layers, control water, vibrate fully and dry per the dedicated curve. Hot gunning maintenance extends total throughput significantly.

FAQs

Where is iron runner castable used?

BF main and branch troughs, tilting runners and slag runners—key casthouse refractory.

Throughput tonnage?

Quality Al₂O₃-SiC-C trough castables achieve 150k-300k tonnes per reline depending on iron temperature, slag load and maintenance.

Can it be hot-repaired?

Yes—supports hot repair by gunning or local relining to extend overall life and cut downtime.
