The Copper and other Non-Ferrous metal industries (e.g., nickel, lead, zinc) face exceptionally demanding refractory environments characterized by extremely high temperatures, highly aggressive sulfide and oxide slags, volatile metal vapors, and intense thermal cycling in smelting, converting, and refining processes. Critical equipment like flash smelters, Pierce-Smith converters, anode furnaces, and electric furnaces require refractories that can withstand continuous corrosive and erosive attack.
Refractory IntegraSmart provides specialized refractory solutions tailored to these severe conditions. We offer expertise in selecting and designing materials with superior resistance to molten metal and slag corrosion, such as magnesia-chrome, chrome-alumina, and high-alumina refractories, for critical areas like slag lines, tap holes, and furnace roofs. Our services include thermal modeling for optimal lining thickness, installation quality assurance, and ongoing performance monitoring to predict wear patterns. By ensuring the integrity and longevity of these linings, we help non-ferrous producers maximize furnace availability, improve process efficiency, and minimize the risk of costly downtime due to refractory failure.
