Flow Control and Ladle Slide Gate Systems

Seating Blocks

Seating Blocks for Steel Ladles, Tundishes, Flow Control Systems and Continuous Casting Applications
Product Overview

Seating Blocks

Seating Blocks are precision-engineered refractory components designed to provide a secure and accurately aligned seating surface for nozzles, collector nozzles, slide gate assemblies, porous plugs, and other flow-control components used in steel ladles and tundishes. They play a critical role in maintaining the integrity and performance of refractory flow-control systems during molten steel handling operations.

Manufactured from high-quality alumina, alumina-carbon, spinel, and other specialized refractory materials, Seating Blocks are engineered to withstand severe thermal shock, mechanical loads, molten steel attack, and slag corrosion. Their precise dimensions and robust construction help ensure proper component positioning, leak-free operation, and long-term reliability in demanding steelmaking environments.

  • Accurate seating and alignment of flow-control components
  • Excellent resistance to thermal shock and mechanical stress
  • High dimensional stability under extreme operating conditions
  • Supports reliable and leak-free steel flow-control performance
