Ladle slide gate plate refractories is one of the most important components in Steel Making process due to their ability to control the flow of steel from ladle to tundish. Changing Refractories Ltd. manufactures a wide selection of Slide Gate Plates, including the typical 1QC, 2QC, slide gate mechanism and other refractory products. Slide gate plate is the key part in the slide gate systems. Function is to control the flow rate of molten steel.
Ladle Slide Gate Advantages:
Slide gate plates are available in a number of different chemistries and bond systems to best match the grades of steel and chemistries of the slag. Specific physical, chemical and mineralogical compositions of high purity ensure high corrosion and erosion resistance, optimum thermal shock resistance to yield optimum performance.
- High corrosion resistance
- Optimum thermal shock resistance
- High erosion resistance
Ladle Slide Gate Application:
Slide gate system is one of the most important parts in continues casting of steel that use to control the flow of melt. Slide gate plates are the part of slide gate system which controls the flow rate of melt from ladle to tundish. High corrosion and erosion lead to stop the production line and leakage of melt. Therefore, these parts are designed to withstand hard work conditions such as high temperature, rapid temperature changes, high wear rate and chemical reactions. Since increasing the lifetime of these parts has a significant impact on reducing the interruptions in steel production that follows by the reduction in production costs; In ladle service, slide gate plates are exposed to sudden thermal shock, physical abrasion by molten steel, as well as physical and chemical corrosion by molten steel and slag. Therefore, these pieces must have resistance to both thermal shock and corrosion.
