Product Overview

Integrated Brick and Maintenance Products for BOF Service

The product range combines shaped magnesia-carbon refractories with unshaped materials used for installation, repair and maintenance of basic oxygen furnace lining systems.

The listed MgO-C brick grades contain 97% MgO and fixed-carbon levels of 5%, 8% or 10%. Their density, apparent porosity and cold-crushing strength vary according to the selected grade.

High-MgO magnesia-carbon brick formulations

Multiple fixed-carbon levels for grade selection

Taphole, ramming, gunning and hot-repair products

Technical selection based on furnace zone and wear

Product Range

BOF Magnesia-Carbon and Maintenance Products

The page identifies six principal product categories for brick lining, taphole service and refractory maintenance.

Magnesia-Carbon Bricks

Shaped MgO-C refractory bricks available in several fixed-carbon levels and physical-property ranges for BOF lining applications.

Cassette Taphole Sleeves

Shaped refractory sleeve components for taphole assemblies, manufactured according to the required dimensions and operating design.

Magnesia-Carbon Ramming Mass

An unshaped MgO-C refractory mix installed by compaction in selected lining, joint or repair zones.

Hot Patch Material

A refractory maintenance material for localized hot repair of worn BOF lining areas during service.

Gunning Mass

A graded monolithic refractory designed for pneumatic application to worn lining surfaces.

Taphole Repair Mass

A repair product intended for maintenance and restoration of worn taphole-related refractory zones.

Grade Highlights

Fixed-Carbon and Physical-Property Options

The listed grades provide several carbon levels and property combinations for technical comparison.

5% Fixed Carbon Listed in the 5CKX and 5CSX grades, with bulk density of 3.1–3.2 g/cm³ and apparent porosity of 3–5%.

8% Fixed Carbon Available in CKX, CKXM and CSX variants. The listed 8CKXM grade has apparent porosity below 1%.

10% Fixed Carbon Listed in 10CKX and 10CSX grades, with bulk density and strength values shown in the technical table.

Technical note: The supplied page lists the brick grades and general product categories separately. It does not establish a direct one-to-one relationship between every grade and every application or product category. Final selection should be based on the approved technical data sheet, BOF lining zone, dimensions, operating practice and wear history.
