VOD Refractories - Refractotherm
Product Overview

VOD Refractories

VOD (Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization) Refractories are engineered for the extreme environment of secondary stainless steel refining.

During the VOD process, the ladle lining is subjected to intense vacuum, high temperatures, severe oxygen lancing, and highly corrosive basic slags. We provide ultra-dense, direct-bonded Magnesia-Chrome and high-grade Magnesia-Carbon bricks that deliver exceptional resistance to slag infiltration, thermal shock, and the violent stirring action of argon purging under vacuum.

  • Exceptional resistance to highly corrosive, basic VOD slags
  • Withstands intense thermal shock and oxygen lancing
  • Maintains structural integrity under deep vacuum conditions
  • Crucial for high-quality stainless and special alloy steel production
