AOD REFRACTORIES (ARGON OXYGEN DECARBURIZATION)

Purging Systems

Purging Systems for AOD and Secondary Metallurgy
Product Overview

Purging Systems

Purging Systems, including highly engineered porous plugs and seating blocks, are vital for injecting inert gases (like Argon) into the molten bath. While AODs rely on side-tuyeres, supplementary bottom purging is often used in related secondary metallurgical ladles to ensure complete homogenization.

Our purging systems feature directional porosity or slit-type designs that provide a highly controlled, fine bubble dispersion. Made from premium tabular alumina and spinel, they offer exceptional resistance to thermal shock, metal penetration, and the intense erosive forces of the rising gas plume.

  • Ensures complete homogenization of bath temperature and chemistry
  • Controlled, fine bubble dispersion for optimal metallurgical stirring
  • Slit and directional-porosity designs prevent metal penetration
  • High thermal shock resistance ensures safe and reliable operation
