Refractory Gunning Mass
Gunning Mass is a specialized refractory material used in the steel-making industry to line and repair the walls of steel-making vessels, such as ladles, converters, and electric arc furnaces. This essential product plays a critical role in ensuring the high quality of steel produced by maintaining the integrity and thermal efficiency of these vessels. One of the key functions of Gunning Mass is to protect the steel-making vessel from the extreme temperatures and corrosive environments present during the steel-making process. By providing a durable and heat-resistant lining, Gunning Mass helps prevent damage to the vessel walls and ensures a consistent and controlled environment for the molten steel.
