New Fused Cast Refractory For Metal Line Protection

In this paper, SEFPRO presents its new AZS for furnaces over-coating at metal line. In this application, refractories are highly exposed to chemical and thermo-mechanical stresses. SEFPRO has developed a new refractory, the ER 2010 RIC with an increased content of zirconia and an addition of yttrium, which modifies some specific properties that are critical for the target application. The main improvements are illustrated and are explained in this paper.
