Torpedo Car
Torpedo Ladle Car and Refractory Products
Torpedo Cars, also known as hot metal cars, are utilized as iron transfer cars. They have a residence time of two to four hours or longer. More recently torpedo cars have been utilized for molten metal treatments such as de-sulfurization and de-siliconization. The torpedo car transfers molten iron (pig iron) from the blast furnace to the steelmaking facility.Both processes require refractories to withstand high temperatures and a greater number of chemical reactions. Resulting in a greater impact on the refractory present.
Common Resco products utilized in a torpedo car consists of Krial CFB, Rescal 70D, and Seneca 60P. Our experts will ensure you're getting the right refractory products for your torpedo car.

LadleMax BSC - a resin-bonded alumina carbon brick with silicon carbide designed for use in hot metal cars or iron charging ladles. This bauxite-based, iron friendly brick is typically used in low wear areas.
Krial CFB - a low iron, high strength 70% alumina brick designed for resistance to impact, abrasion, and carbon monoxide (CO) attack in severe blast furnace and DRI applications.
Rescal 70D- this general-purpose, bauxite-based 70% alumina brick features an extraordinary degree of corrosion and thermal shock resistance. It is ideally suited when cost-effectiveness is essential. These brick are also used to line iron charging ladles
Vibrocast 60PC - a 60% alumina, mullite-based shotcrete mix designed for minimum porosity and low linear change with maximum density and high fired strengths. This material will withstand severe high-temperature corrosion and erosion environments.
Quikturn 60PC - a 60% alumina, mullite-based shotcrete material. After the initial set, the hot metal car can be returned to operation without curing or the traditional controlled heating schedule.
EZ Cubed 70PC - a 70% alumina shotcrete mix designed to give improved erosion, corrosion, and refractoriness over Vibrocast 60PC.
