Ceramic Forming / Refractory Forming
1200–1800°C
Main applications
ceramic and refractory forming for extreme service
Key Features
Precision formed refractory parts
Precision forming of refractory materials — producing complex shapes that cannot be made from brick or block
Refractory from 1200°C
Castable and ceramic-based forming — proven in steelmaking, casting and incineration duty
Custom made from drawings
Nozzles, rings, blocks, burner blocks and more — precision made from drawings or sample parts, in small or large runs
Thermal and mechanical shock resistance
No distortion or cracking under repeated thermal cycling or molten metal impact — high mechanical strength
Resists melt and slag attack
The corrosion resistance characteristic of refractories — long durability in contact with melt and slag

Notes
- ※Supply a drawing or sample part and we can produce a small trial batch — we recommend testing on the actual plant before the main order.
- ※Tell us the service temperature and environment and we will recommend the refractory grade (alumina content, SK number).
