Mini Steel

Reliable Ladle & Furnace Refractories Engineered for EIF and LRF Operations

Mini steel plants using Electric Arc Furnaces, Induction Furnaces, and Ladle Refining processes require high-performance linings for ladles, launders, induction furnace top blocks, and ladle nozzle fixing applications. Sharadaa provides Gel Bonded Castables, ULCC, Dense Castables, MCC, and specialized Mortars to optimize steel quality and minimize downtime.

Mini steel plants rely on induction furnaces, ladles, and metal transfer systems that require refractory linings capable of withstanding molten steel, slag attack, and rapid thermal cycles.

Sharadaa Ceramics provides specialized refractory solutions for ladles, induction furnace top blocks, launders, and ladle nozzle fixing areas.

Products such as VELCRETE SF 204, ULCC 60, and VELCRETE 003 ZSC offer excellent resistance to thermal shock and slag corrosion. Dense castables including VELCAST A, REFCAST A, and REFCAST K provide high mechanical strength for demanding steelmaking environments. Supporting materials like MCC 80 SSF blocks and REFSET 90 K mortar ensure reliable furnace component installation and maintenance. With these advanced refractory systems, mini steel plants benefit from longer lining life, improved furnace performance, and reduced operational downtime, enhancing productivity in induction furnace steel production.

Case Studies

Product introduction was carried out in a 15 Mt ladle which undergoes frequent pouring and casting.

It completed 20 ladles of circulation as compared to single ladle usage with bottom pouring sleeves

It has also been developed for the higher capacity 30 Mt ladle and is under circulation.
