How to use insulation ceramic fiber cloth in the steel industry? In the steel industry, Ceramic Fiber Cloth is widely used in the entire high-temperature process from ironmaking, steelmaking to steel rolling due to its excellent high temperature resistance, low thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, and chemical stability. It mainly plays four major roles: thermal insulation, sealing and leakage prevention, fire and flame retardancy, and splash prevention. In the steel industry, ceramic fiber cloth plays an irreplaceable role in many key links due to its unique advantages of flexibility, high temperature resistance, and corrosion resistance.
During the process of steel casting, ceramic fiber cloth can be used as a slag blocking insulation blanket. When in use, it is placed in the intermediate frequency furnace, ladle, and molten iron ladle, and always floats on the surface of the molten steel during tapping. When the temperature of steel water exceeds 1500 ℃, ceramic fiber cloth with a temperature resistance of 1260 ℃ should be selected. Due to softening and shrinkage upon contact with high-temperature melt, it is usually disposable. For furnace doors, kiln openings, and expansion joints with high temperature or strength requirements, ceramic fiber cloth reinforced with stainless steel wire is commonly used for sealing. Its continuous use temperature can reach 1000 ℃, and short-term use temperature can reach 1260 ℃.
Functional advantages of insulation steel insulation ceramic fiber cloth:
1. High temperature resistance of 1000 ℃+, safer and more durable than asbestos cloth and glass cloth
2. Stainless steel wire reinforcement, tensile, tear resistant, and not easily damaged
3. Soft texture, easy to wrap around irregular pipes, valves, and furnace ports
4. Fireproof grade A, non combustible, smoke-free, non-toxic
5. Resistant to dust, smoke, and slight corrosion in steel plants
6. Fast construction, can be cut, wrapped, and sewn
Ceramic fiber cloth is an ideal high-temperature resistant and fire-resistant insulation material for high-temperature furnace bodies, hot air ducts, continuous casting and rolling, and cable protection in steel plants. It is soft, durable, safe, and environmentally friendly, suitable for the entire high-temperature process. The correct application of ceramic fiber cloth can help steel mills reduce energy consumption by 5% -10%, significantly improve the working environment, and extend the service life of high-temperature equipment.
