Advantages of ladle covering agent

Ladle covering agent is a material used to cover the surface of molten steel during steelmaking. Its main functions are to reduce heat loss, reduce oxidation of molten steel, and absorb and separate inclusions. With the advancement of metallurgical technology, the use of ladle covering agents has become an important part of improving molten steel quality and reducing production costs.

Advantages of ladle covering agents

Reduce heat loss

The ladle covering agent forms a thermal insulation protective layer on the surface of the molten steel, which significantly reduces the heat radiation loss and extends the heat preservation time of the molten steel. It is especially suitable for long-term transportation or storage of molten steel.

Reduce oxidation of molten steel

The covering agent isolates the direct contact between the molten steel and the air, and reduces the occurrence of oxidation reactions, thereby reducing the oxygen content in the molten steel and helping to improve the quality of the molten steel.

Absorb inclusions

The ladle covering agent has good adsorption properties and can effectively absorb non-metallic inclusions in the molten steel, purify the molten steel, and reduce casting defects.

Reduce slag adhesion

High-quality ladle covering agents have excellent fluidity, which can reduce the possibility of slag adhering to the inner wall of the ladle, reduce the difficulty of ladle cleaning, and extend the service life of the ladle.

Environmental protection and energy saving

The new covering agent is environmentally friendly, releases no harmful gases, and has excellent thermal efficiency, which can help metallurgical companies reduce energy consumption and pollution.
