SNREF Ladle Plug and Block Assembly purging block for argon blowing
-Segment composite plug set
The segment plug is preferably made of good anti-stripping materials, the block body is not easy to occur fracture, with longer service life. The cracks between different plates will not expand, so this segment plug design can avoid failure of bottom blowing caused by transverse brick fracture.
Compared with traditional slit plug, our segment plug obtains below advantages:
- Simultaneous improving the plugs' thermal shock resistance and erosion resistance.
- The design of segment(plate) and composition structure obtains good thermal conductivity and low stress characteristic, significantly increase the air blowing rate.
- Stable flowing rate, good blowing through performance, higher stability in refining process operation.
- Almost no fracture layer, reducing the labour strength during oxygen cleaning of plugs after casting.
- Lifetime much increased, synchronized with the slag line.

-Slot Plug(slit plug)
Slot plug is the most common structure in purging plug.
The gas channel could be designed and customized according to actual on-site using conditions, including refining steel grade,
refining workmanship, ladle capacity, temperature, hydrostatic pressure of liquid steel etc.
This can achieve the best blowing effect for purging plugs, ensure the longest service life, safety, stability and best air
permeability.
-Porous plug
Porous plug has better porosity and permeability.
Production technology is adding carbon-containing compound into mixture, since carbon-containing compound can burn out without
residue at low temperature, so we adopt low temperature burning out intermediate materials to get the initial porosity.
In porous type plug, inside distributes interpenetrating gas channels in different sizes.
When blowing stop, the steel and slag from ladle will infiltrate into the deep areas of the plug, to form a secure layer on working surface.
-Segment Plug
The segment plug is preferably made of good anti-stripping materials, the block body is not easy to occur fracture, with longer service life. The cracks between different plates will not expand, so this segment plug design can avoid failure of bottom blowing caused by tranverse brick fracture.
Application characteristics: In order to adapt to more and more strict refining conditions(especially special steel), and to meet the requirements of increasing ladle life, the volume of plug becomes bigger and bigger. However the traditional slit type plug has single material and single structure, easy to cause the phenomenon of tranverse fracture and failure of air blowing. Our researched segment plug has successfully soved the problem of fracture existing in traditional slit plug. Significantly increasing the stability of refining process, ensuring the realization and improvement of quality refined steel.
