Stainless Steel Fibre

Stainless Steel Fibre

As we know, stainless steel has become a common element in our everyday lives and Stainless Steel Fibre is widely used in Refractory low cement castable and lance tubes all over the world. Stainless Steel Fibres are made in different shapes and cut lengths to suit the customer application. These Fibres are fabricated of modern specialty steel; it is also made by the “drawing process” under a strict environment and goes through quality checks at regular intervals to ensure that the best product reaches the customer site. The prominent quality of the Stainless Steel Fibre reinforced refractory castables are very resistant to the tendency of the material to crumble on thermal cycling. As the Stainless Steel Fibres greatly improve the flexural strength of the castable, the fibres generally used are in size varying between 0.1 to 0.5 mm in diameter and 20-40 mm in length. Stainless Steel fibres also increase the energy absorption capability, simultaneously increasing the ductility that contributes significantly to the thermal shock and spalling resistance of the material. It can also have the capacity to prevent cracks as these fibres are used to decrease the drawbacks related to the drying out of castable.
