Operating Environment

Refractory Protection for Severe EAF Roof Conditions

The roof of an electric arc furnace is exposed simultaneously to thermal, chemical and mechanical stresses. Temperatures can exceed 1700°C, while slag, metal oxides and iron-oxide foam may aggressively attack the refractory lining.

The zones around the electrode passages are particularly sensitive because they experience concentrated thermal loading, complex geometry and repeated maintenance.

Flexible Electrode Openings The electrode-passage diameter and roof layout can be adapted.
Simplified Installation The modular arrangement reduces reliance on complex supporting mechanisms.
Suitable Service Life The material is intended for abrasion and thermal-shock resistance.
Competitive Cost Replaceable bricks can support practical maintenance and lifecycle planning.
Product Solution

Fired Phosphate-Bonded Andalusite-Corundum Bricks

A fired high-alumina refractory produced from high-quality andalusite, fused alumina and selected additives. The phosphate-bonded structure is intended to provide resistance to abrasion, thermal shock and demanding electric arc furnace roof service.

Roof Bricks

Shaped refractory bricks forming the main body of the EAF roof. Their geometry is manufactured according to the roof profile and furnace design.

Typical Characteristics
High-alumina andalusite-corundum composition
Fired phosphate-bonded structure
Resistance to abrasion and thermal shock
Custom dimensions based on approved drawings

Electrode-Surrounding Bricks

Special refractory shapes installed around electrode passages, where the lining faces concentrated heat and complex installation geometry.

Typical Characteristics
Adaptable electrode-passage geometry
Good dimensional stability
Compatibility with monolithic refractory zones
Replaceable modular construction
System Components

EAF Roof Lining Arrangement

A complete roof lining can combine shaped roof bricks, electrode-surrounding bricks and monolithic refractory in a coordinated modular assembly.

Component Primary Function Main Service Requirement
Roof Brick Forms the main refractory body of the EAF roof. Resistance to thermal shock, abrasion, slag and metal oxides.
Electrode-Surrounding Brick Protects and shapes the area around each electrode passage. Dimensional stability and resistance to concentrated heat.
Monolithic Refractory Fills and seals joints and complex transition zones. Compatibility with the brick system and repeated thermal cycling.
R53 / KR53 Shapes Design-specific refractory shapes used in the roof body. Exact conformity with the approved furnace roof drawings.
D7N / D8N Shapes Special components used around electrode-related areas. Accurate geometry, fit and thermal performance.
Technical note: Exact chemical composition, physical properties, dimensions and service life must be confirmed using the manufacturer’s technical data sheet, operating information and approved EAF roof drawings.
