entrifugal casting tubes are crucial components in steel plants, used in various high-temperature and high-wear applications. Below is a list of centrifugal casting tube products that are commonly used in steel plants:
1. Furnace Tubes
· Blast Furnace Tuyeres: Tubes used to direct air into the blast furnace for the smelting of iron ore.
· Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) Tubes: Tubes used in the furnace to handle molten metal and gases at high temperatures.
· Induction Furnace Tubes: Tubes used in induction furnaces for melting scrap steel.
2. Ladle Liners
· Ladle Tubes: Tubes used to line ladles, which transport molten metal from the furnace to the casting or rolling areas. These tubes help protect the ladle from thermal wear and damage.
3. Heat Exchanger Tubes
· Cooling Tubes: Tubes used in heat exchangers to cool down molten metal or gases in the steel plant’s cooling system.
· Water-Cooled Tubes: Tubes used in water-cooled heat exchangers to maintain the temperature control during steel production.
4. Roller and Mill Liners
· Rolling Mill Roll Sleeves: Tubes used as sleeves for rollers in hot rolling and cold rolling mills.
· Hot and Cold Rolling Mill Rolls: Tubes used as part of the rolls in hot and cold rolling mills to shape the steel.
5. Continuous Casting Components
· Continuous Casting Molds: Tubes used in continuous casting machines to shape steel billets, blooms, and slabs.
· Centrifugal Casting Rolls: Tubes used as rollers for the continuous casting process where molten steel is solidified into shapes.
6. Slag Pots and Liners
· Slag Pot Liners: Tubes that line the slag pots used to collect and transport slag (a byproduct of steel production).
· Slag Handling Tubes: Tubes that protect the equipment in contact with molten slag, reducing wear.
7. Vacuum Furnace Components
· Vacuum Chamber Tubes: Tubes used to line vacuum chambers in steel plants, particularly in vacuum induction furnaces used for steel alloying or purification.
· Vacuum Degassing Tubes: Tubes used in the vacuum degassing process to remove dissolved gases from molten steel.
8. Gas Ducts and Exhaust Tubes
· Exhaust Gas Tubes: Tubes used in exhaust systems to carry high-temperature gases away from the steel plant.
· Flue Gas Ducts: Tubes used for transporting flue gases from steel production furnaces to the filtration or scrubber systems.
9. Pipe Systems
· Molten Steel Transport Tubes: Tubes used to carry molten steel between various parts of the steel plant, including between the furnace, ladle, and continuous casting machines.
· Molten Metal Transfer Tubes: Tubes designed to transport molten metal in a liquid form from one area to another, such as from the furnace to casting machines.
10. Wear-Resistant Tubes
· Chute Liners: Tubes used as liners in chutes or hoppers where materials such as slag or steel scrap are transported.
· Wear Plates: Tubes used in areas subjected to extreme abrasion, such as steel handling and conveyor systems.
Materials Used in Centrifugal Casting Tubes for Steel Plants
· Heat-Resistant Alloys: Tubes made from alloys such as chromium steel (e.g., AISI 410, 420) and Ni-Cr-based alloys for high-temperature resistance.
· Wear-Resistant Alloys: Materials like high-carbon steels or high-chromium iron for wear resistance in rollers and liners.
· Stainless Steel: Tubes made from martensitic stainless steel for their corrosion resistance in the harsh environments of steel-making processes.
These centrifugal casting tube products are integral in ensuring that steel plants operate efficiently by withstanding extreme conditions such as high temperatures, chemical exposure, abrasion, and corrosion. They help improve the lifespan of equipment, reduce downtime, and enhance the overall efficiency of steel production operations.
