Product Overview

Vacuum Degassing Refractories

Vacuum Degassing Refractories encompass the complete lining solutions for RH (Ruhrstahl-Heraeus) and other advanced vacuum degassing vessels.

The lower vessel and snorkels of an RH degasser face the most brutal conditions in modern steelmaking: rapid thermal cycling, intense vacuum, and high-velocity circulation of liquid steel. Our portfolio includes ultra-dense, direct-bonded Magnesia-Chrome bricks for the vessel walls and specialized, highly erosion-resistant castables for the snorkels, maximizing campaign life and steel purity.

  • Direct-bonded Magnesia-Chrome bricks for maximum vacuum stability
  • Extreme erosion resistance for RH snorkels and lower vessels
  • Withstands rapid thermal cycling during discontinuous operations
  • Crucial for achieving ultra-low carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen levels
