REFINING VESSELS

Wahl has a variety of precast, SIFCA® and shotcrete materials for a wide range of applications for integrated and mini mills.

  • Monolithic design provides less molten metal penetration.
  • Can be anchored in place unlike brick.
  • Significant cost savings with less labor and less downtime.
  • Reduction of spalling and provides a consistent tap stream to help with recovery in comparison to brick.

AOD POUR SPOUTS

  • Various internal structures help provide reinforcement for superior performing castables.
  • Our design outperforms through utilization of this combined technology.
  • State-of-the art spinel containing castable on the outside.
  • Can be incorporated with a core of magnesia-chrome brick from a leading brick manufacturer.

DEGAS & CAS-OB SNORKELS

  • Wahl determines which refractory material is optimal depending on the severity of the application.
  • Outlast the conventional refractory, steel and cast iron skimmers.
  • Exhibit extreme thermal shock resistance and mechanical strength.
  • Longer life at a lower cost.

IRON & STEEL SKIMMERS

  • Precast shapes designed for the spout area offer ease of installation with a bolt-on design.
  • SIFCA® stands up well to the mechanical abuse and thermal shock, protecting the steel shell from molten metal penetration.
  • Wahl’s shotcrete material is ideal for maintenance of the vessel interior.
