AOD REFRACTORIES (ARGON OXYGEN DECARBURIZATION)

AOD Tuyere Bricks

AOD Tuyere Bricks for AOD and Secondary Metallurgy
Product Overview

AOD Tuyere Bricks

AOD Tuyere Bricks represent the most technologically demanding refractories within the converter. They surround the gas injection pipes where argon and oxygen are blown into the molten steel at supersonic velocities.

These specialized blocks endure devastating mechanical vibration, extreme localized chilling from expanding gases, and severe back-attack erosion from the molten bath. Manufactured from ultra-high-fired Magnesia-Chrome or fused-grain Dolomite, our Tuyere Bricks are engineered with exceptional hot strength and spalling resistance to ensure safe, continuous gas injection.

  • Withstands extreme mechanical vibration and supersonic gas injection
  • Exceptional resistance to localized thermal shock and chilling
  • Maintains tuyere integrity against severe back-attack erosion
  • Critical for ensuring safe and efficient decarburization processes
