Basic Refractories

 

Special Magcarbon

 

The SPECIAL MAG CARBON series of resin bonded magnesia carbon bricks is a blend of high crystal size seawater magnesia, fused magnesia and high purity graphite flakes. These are suitable for use in the vulnerable areas of EOF, EAF/EBT, VAD/LRF/AOD. These products outperform others due to their excellent corrosion and oxidation resistance, resistance to spalling and high hot strength.

 

Oxidation Resistant Magcarbon

 

Subject offers the ‘R’ series of magnesia carbon refractories suitable for use in the areas where the prime criteria for selection is good oxidation resistance. These are manufactured with the addition of multi-antioxidants and special attention is paid to the control of particle size. This series is suggested for use in EOF tuyere surroundings, converter lancing, UHP/EBT/EAF hot spots and slag line, VAD/LRF slag line and bottom.

 

Dense Magcarbon

 

This is an economical range of products for use in non-vulnerable areas of converters, EBT/EAF and LRF slag line. These bricks outperform fired products due to their non wetting characteristic. These can be supplied in metal clad quality also.

 

Slag/Metal Line Magcarbon

 

The ‘SSL’ and ‘ML’ range of resin bonded low cost magnesia carbon refractories are suitable for use in steel ladles and bottom except impact areas. These products display high non-wetting characteristic and resistance to metal erosion.

 

Alumina Magnesia Carbon

 

Entirely developed through indigenous research, Alumina Magnesia Carbon refractories are tailor made for specific LF/LRF/VAD/VD applications. Due to their unique chemistry they restrict joint openings in service and act as a monolithic lining thereby restricting metal penetration. Its unique chemistry imparts high pyroplasticity to the refractory thereby making it an ideal solution for ladle impact areas. Today AMC bricks are an integral part of Maithan’s ladle management solutions.

 

Magnesite

 

This range of fired and chemically bonded magnesite bricks is suitable for use in backup applications of EAF, LD converter, steel ladle and can be supplied with or without steel clad.

 

Dense Magnesite

 

Normal dense fired magnesite bricks up to 92% MgO are supplied for utilities such as EAF sub hearth and working lining, hot metal mixer wear out lining and converter back up.

 

Low Iron Magnesite

 

With the increased focus on fuel efficiency in glassmaking and increase in furnace life necessitated by economy, the use of high purity magnesite bricks in glass regenerator has become universal. Maithan offers the MGIS range of low iron high purity Magnesite bricks manufactured with high grade Sea water and sintered natural magnesia. These refractories are distinguished by their high density and resistance to alkali, sulphur, silica carry over and fume attack. Solutions based on this range can be tailor made depending on the cost economics, capacity and life expectancy of a glass furnace.

 


Magnesite Chrome

 

Conventional and dense fired conventional Magnesia chrome bricks are offered for utilities such as steel ladle, LRF, AOD, VOD, EAF/EOF for back up and working lining applications.

 

Chrome Magnesite

 

In this range subject offers general purpose varieties for back up application, reheating furnace and other non ferrous industries.

 

Direct Bonded Magnesite Chrome

 

The DBMC range is based on high grade magnesite chrome co-sinter and fired at a very high temperature. These are very good corrosion, erosion and thermal shock resistant bricks suitable for non-ferrous applications and AOD working lining. For the cement rotary kiln burning zone, a superior product, MCL DBMCA has been developed.

 

Magnesia Alumina Spinel

 

The MGAL range is specifically designed for chrome free rotary cement kiln. These are manufactured from very high grade sintered magnesia and electro fused spinel and are capable of a high coatability in service.

 

Design:

 

Starting with a comprehensive appraisal of the operating conditions and previous supply, they partner with the customer to design a customized refractory solution utilizing modern tools such as CAD. The emphasis for any design is on the cost/performance aspect of the refractory under service. .

 

Application, Inspection and Maintenance: Through turnkey and refractory management contracts, they ensure technically correct installation of the refractory lining using specialized equipment. They supervise the operations on a continuous basis to understand the lining wear patterns and zoning requirements and maintain the lining with cost effective hot repair solutions for prolonged life.

 

Analysis:

 

Post mortem analysis of the worn out refractories are carried out at their R&D center to gain an insight into the wear mechanism and process-refractory interactions during service. This enables them to design better products for the future and underscores their commitment to continuous development.

 

Apart from these technical services, they provide critical services such as inventory management for the customer and often link remuneration for long term contracts to performance/output so as to optimize the customer’s refractory costs. Some of their industry specific services are as follows:

 

Iron and Steel :

 

Blast furnace trough lining based on Al2O3-SiC-C castables applied and maintained using sophisticated mixing/conveying equipment. Ladle management with balanced lining utilizing both shaped and unshaped refractories. Design and application of coreless induction furnace lining with neutral and basic ramming mixes for usage with both ferrous and non-ferrous melting.

 

Glass

 

Design of refractory solutions depending on the quality of glass produced. Manufacturing of machined melter blocks and feeder channels, which are pre-assembled and individually marked for faster installation at the customer’s end.




Cement

 

With a product range encompassing the entire requirement of a cement plant from the pre-heater to the cooler, they can design and supply refractories for any type of cement manufacturing. Using XRD and XRF analysis of the cement clinker they provide customized solutions for individual cement kiln operations.

 

Subject research and development effort underscores their overall quality consciousness and aims at establishing a technological leadership for their products and solutions in the market. Working in sync with their operations and customers, the R&D group ensures that they have their finger on the market pulse. The key to successful research lies in their research wing that is equipped with state of the art equipment such as XRD, XRF, HMOR, RUL, Creep and PLC machines imported from Germany and a host of other indigenous equipment. Pilot scale trials supplement core research through simulated manufacturing runs and evaluation of new and existing products in real conditions. The emphasis is to search for alternative solutions in the lab and scale up the results in the shortest possible time to commercially viable products. Subject also co-operates with external agencies such as the Central Glass & Ceramic Research Institute in the areas of fundamental research and new product development.

 

Sustainable research has paid rich dividends in the form of path breaking products, which have proven their mettle commercially and have replaced expensive imports in the Indian market.
