Carbon Bonded Working Linings
Benefits of Vesuvius solutions
- Improved corrosion resistance
 - Cleaner steel
 - Reduced CO2 emissions
 - Energy savings
 - Potential to increase ladle capacity
 
Engineered materials
Supermag* range of standard and low carbon steel ladle products
Low-carbon material technology
- Low carbon: reduces the potential for carbon pick-up in the steel melt
 - Low conductivity: offers lower heat transfer and energy losses from the ladle
 - Excellent slag resistance: comparable to high carbon containing products
 - Optimized structural flexibility: to maintain good resistance to thermo-mechanical cracking and spalling
