Steel Ladle

We come from the steel and we are Krosaki distribution company in the heart of Europe, dedicated to serve the Iron and Steel industry in Europe. With over 100 years developing refractories technology in Japan, we have now created the ultimate refractory solution for our European Steel customers, by fully aligning refractory & steel making goals in complete clarity and transparency thanks to our new strategy, the TCO Kaizen Strategy.

The steel ladle transports the liquid steel from the furnace to the continuous casting machine.

Safety Lining

Andalusite based High Alumina products are commonly used in the ladle safety lining due to their excellent volume stability, thermal and thermos-mechanical properties (high thermal shock resistance and low thermal conductivity)and neutral behavior towards molting metal.

Impact Zone

The operational features for the Impact zone are:

  • Repeated heating and cooling so needs high spalling resistance.
  • Long term usage (no repair during service) so needs volume stability.
  • Purging by inactive gas, abrasion (bottom bricks are worn by impact during tapping) so need abrasion resistance.

Freeboard

Refractories for the Freeboard area must cope with severe oxidation (bricks are usually exposed to air) and severe spalling (wide temperature variation). The Krosaki refractories are designed to improve oxidation resistance by adding anti-oxidants. Our MgO-C bricks are recommended to show good spalling resistance. Corrision is not so severe as slag or molten steel does not usually come into contact with the freeboard bricks.

Slag zone

Slag line materials must be selected according to the specific conditions. Improved usage comes from applying high purity of MgO and the combination of several anti-oxidants. Damage factors of slag line bricks is corrosion by slag and oxidation (gas-phase, liquid phase).

Safety lining

Andalusite based High Alumina products are commonly used in the ladle safety lining due to their excellent volume stability, thermal and thermos-mechanical properties (high thermal shock resistance and low thermal conductivity)and neutral behavior towards molting metal.
