A practical evidence checklist for RFQ preparation and supplier evaluation.
CNFX does not score or rank suppliers. Buyers must verify all claims and documents with the legal manufacturer before ordering.
According to directory data, the capacity ranges from 10 to 100 tonnes of molten metal. However, the exact capacity for a specific ladle must be confirmed with the manufacturer based on the application.
Common refractory materials include high alumina, magnesia, and zirconia-based bricks or castables. Specific compositions such as Al2O3–MgO and Al2O3–SiC–C are listed, but the final selection depends on the molten metal type and operating conditions.
The ladle must be preheated to a temperature between 800°C and 1200°C before first use to prevent thermal shock. This preheating process is critical to avoid cracking the refractory lining.
The ladle life is typically between 50 and 150 heats, depending on operating conditions and maintenance. After this period, the refractory lining may need to be replaced to ensure safe and efficient operation.
