Later, the steel company wanted to use a longer-life aluminum carbon slag line long nozzle, so it experimented with slag lines GZ and FN. The results are as follows:

GZ ladle shroud
FN ladle shroud

The GZ and FN ladle shroud we used didn’t last the expected 5-6 hours. Users reported that the GZ lasted 4-4.5 hours, and the FZ typed lasted 4 hours. We then tried the ZA (10-piece zirconium carbon slagline) typed and the FC typed  (2-piece aluminum carbon slag) ladle shroud. (We didn’t track the FC cable on-site, so we don’t have any data)

Ladle Shroud Trial

On October 24, 2022, 12 pcs of 680mm length ladle shrouds were formed, using slagline ZA, inner liner FN, and body RLT-F. On-site tracking was conducted on April 13, 2023, and the zirconium-carbon slag line can be used for 11 hours.
