Basic Oxygen Furnace BOF Refractories - Resco Products

Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF)

BOF Schematic Refractory Products - Resco ProductsSince 2000 Resco Products has been one of the leading producers of Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) refractories in North America. Resco Products understands the detail it requires to create a BOF that stays in service. Safety and working refractory linings are designed to achieve the customer's goals. Variable compositions or shapes of differing lengths or geometries are optimized for your melting point and basic oxygen steelmaking.

Refractories for BOF Vessel

BOF Product Chart - Working LiningResco can produce burned and burned, tar-impregnated compositions as well as a resin-bonded refractory material. The safety linings designed for today's barrel and cone sections are typically for a single campaign. The bottom of the BOF vessel can be designed for many years of service.

The refractory working lining must be designed to meet each unique process. Resco's BOF solutions provide exceptional integrity for the life of the vessel. The design must be balance so wear is uniform and gunning maintenance is kept minimal at high temperatures.

BOF vessels can range from 90 to 300 tons.  The life of BOF refractory can vary greatly depending on factory practices.  Common working lining brands are Nuline 12XF and Nuline 12XWB.

Coatings

A-O Brush MixArrow icon

A-O BRUSH MIX is an oxidation protective coating for carbon containing refractory shapes. A-O BRUSH MIX is especially designed to coat MgO-C slagline brick of ladles by brushing or spraying to protect from carbon oxidation during the preheating period by forming high viscosity frits. It begins to soften at approximately 750oF and frits at 1100oF when formation of a dense layer seals the brick surface and joints to stop the penetration of oxygen. The molten A-O BRUSH MIX is very reactive. It reacts at high temperatures with viscosity increasing agents being part of the product, as well as with the MgO of bricks. Due to this property, A-O BRUSH MIX forms a protective layer even at 2500oF without flowing off.

RESCORAM 10 CR is a high alumina, phosphate-bonded plastic with 10% chromic oxide that is used throughout the metals producing industries. Its chemical bond develops high strength at lower temperatures. This property makes it ideal for application where there is insufficient heat to develop the ceramic bond required in heat-setting plastics.

Rescoset 90P is a wet high alumina bonding mortar with a chemical bonding system. With the unique bonding system, high bonding strength is developed at lower temperatures (300-600°F) and continues until a ceramic bonding occurs. Rescoset 90P is primarily used to lay up high alumina brick and is available in troweling consistency. It is used in areas where severe service conditions require increased refractoriness and corrosion/erosion resistance

SakoniteArrow icon

SAKONITE® is a very economical refractory concrete. Although its maximum service temperature is 2200°F, it is designed primarily for service between 70°F and 1000°F. It is widely used for cast floors exposed to molten metals or hot ingots. It can be cast or pumped and finished like ordinary concrete. It may also be rammed or cast-vibrated for increased density and strength with minimum shrinkage. SAKONITE® is also available as GC SAKONITE® gun mix.
