About Ladle and Tundish Covering Compound

Using a non-liquid composition that reacts at the same temperature as the liquid metal to generate a viscous liquid flux layer in contact with the liquid metal while keeping a non-liquid layer above the liquid layer, ladle and tundish covering compound is used to cover liquid metal. It is a freely flowing substance that can be utilised in a ladle or tundish. In addition to this, the said product minimises heat loss from radiation and ladle jams. Ladle and tundish covering compound also works to keep molten steel from coming into contact with the atmosphere. It non-hazardous and nontoxic in nature.

Superior Thermal Insulation

Engineered for high-temperature resistance, this ladle and tundish covering compound offers exceptional thermal insulation up to temperatures exceeding 1500C. By minimizing heat loss, it optimizes energy consumption and preserves steel quality throughout the casting process.

Optimal Application in Steel Manufacturing

Widely utilized in foundries and the metallurgical sector, this compound provides a protective layer over molten steel in ladles and tundishes. Its use leads to improved handling, minimized metal oxidation, and better temperature controlcrucial factors for high-quality steel production.

Quality and Safety Assurance

This product meets ISO 9001:2015 standards and is composed of safe, reliable refractory materials. As a granular or fine powder, it is easy to apply and remains stable without emitting odors. Proper storage in dry, cool conditions ensures long-term effectiveness and consistent results.

FAQs of Ladle and Tundish Covering Compound:

Q: How is Ladle and Tundish Covering Compound used in steel manufacturing?

A: The compound is spread or poured on top of molten steel in ladles and tundishes, where it forms a thermal barrier. This minimizes heat loss, reduces oxidation, and maintains consistent metal temperature during transfer and casting.

Q: What are the main benefits of using this covering compound?

A: Using this compound improves thermal efficiency, reduces energy consumption, prevents metal oxidation, and enhances the quality of the finished steel products. It also ensures safer, more controlled steel handling processes.

Q: When should Ladle and Tundish Covering Compound be applied?

A: It should be applied just before or immediately after pouring molten steel into ladles or tundishes. Timely application is key to maximizing insulation and minimizing temperature fluctuations during processing.

Q: Where should the compound be stored for maximum shelf life?

A: Store the compound in a dry and cool location, away from moisture. Exposure to dampness or humidity should be avoided to maintain its insulating properties and effectiveness.

Q: What is the process for applying the covering compound?

A: Simply sprinkle or pour the granular or fine powder directly onto the molten metals surface in the ladle or tundish, ensuring an even and sufficient layer across the entire exposed area.

Q: Is the Ladle and Tundish Covering Compound safe to handle?

A: Yes, the compound is composed of refractory oxide fillers and binders, is odorless, and does not dissolve in water, making it safe for industrial use when standard handling precautions are followed.

Q: What makes this compound suitable for industrial-grade applications?

A: Its high melting point (above 1500C) and alignment with ISO 9001:2015 standards make it highly reliable for demanding steel manufacturing and foundry processes requiring effective thermal insulation.
