Based on type, the dry ramming mass market has been segmented into alumina ramming mass, silica ramming mass, magnesia-based ramming mass and others. Alumina ramming mass accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, of the global market in 2023.
Alumina ramming mass is favored in certain applications due to the specific properties that make it advantageous compared to silica and magnesia-based ramming masses. Alumina ramming mass is primarily composed of high-alumina aggregates, typically exceeding 80% alumina content. This high alumina content provides excellent refractoriness and resistance to high temperatures. Alumina ramming mass exhibits good resistance to thermal shock. This property is crucial in applications involving rapid changes in temperature, such as the heating and cooling cycles experienced in metal melting and casting processes. Alumina ramming mass is particularly well-suited for melting and holding non-ferrous metals, such as aluminum and its alloys. Its composition and properties make it effective in these applications. Alumina is chemically inert, which means it does not easily react with molten metals or slags. This property is beneficial in maintaining the stability of the lining and preventing unwanted reactions that could affect the quality of the metal being processed. Alumina ramming mass often exhibits good abrasion resistance, contributing to the longevity and durability of the refractory lining in the furnace.
Based on application, the dry ramming mass market has been segmented into foundries, steel, electric arc furnaces, blast furnaces, non-steel and others. Steel accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, of the global market in 2023.
In steelmaking, ladles are used to transport and pour molten steel. Dry ramming mass is often employed to line the ladles, providing thermal insulation and resistance to the corrosive effects of molten steel and slag. Dry ramming mass can be used to construct covers for steel ladles. These covers help retain heat during the transportation of molten steel, preventing excessive heat loss. Tundishes are vessels that temporarily hold and distribute molten metal during the continuous casting process. Dry ramming mass can be used to line tundishes, providing a refractory barrier that withstands high temperatures and ensures the quality of the cast steel.
In steel manufacturing, reheat furnaces are used to bring steel ingots or slabs to the desired temperature before further processing. Dry ramming mass can be utilized in the refractory lining of these furnaces. For smaller-scale applications or specific alloy production, steel crucibles lined with dry ramming mass may be employed. These crucibles provide a controlled environment for melting and alloying processes. Dry ramming mass can be used to line pouring channels and troughs that guide molten steel from the furnace to the molds during casting processes, ensuring a smooth and controlled flow. Some steelmaking processes involve the use of mixer furnaces to blend different grades of steel or alloys. Dry ramming mass can be used to line these furnaces, contributing to thermal stability and resistance to wear.
Based on function, the dry ramming mass market has been segmented into lining, repairing, and patching among others. Lining accounted for the largest share, in terms of value, of the global market in 2023.
The majority of refractory materials are initially used for lining purposes during the construction and installation of furnaces, kilns, and other industrial equipment. When new facilities are built, they require extensive refractory linings to withstand high temperatures, corrosive environments, and mechanical stresses. Furnaces and industrial equipment have relatively long lifecycles. Once a refractory lining is installed, it can last for an extended period before significant repairs or replacements are needed. This results in a continuous demand for lining materials. Refractory linings play a critical role in maintaining the integrity of industrial processes. They protect against high temperatures, chemical reactions, and mechanical wear. As such, there is a consistent need for high-quality refractory materials to line furnaces and other processing units.
Refractory linings are used in a wide range of industries, including steel, cement, glass, non-ferrous metals, petrochemicals, and more. The diverse applications across different sectors contribute to a large market for lining materials. Advances in refractory technology, including the development of high-performance and specialized lining materials, contribute to the continued demand for these materials in various industries.
