Monolite Spray Working Lining
Monolite Spray Working Lining
Monolite is a basic sprayed tundish coating for the protection of permanent linings of continuous casting tundishes.
As important as it is to have a tundish spray material of high integrity it is equally important to have available the means of applying it to the permanent tundish lining.
This material is applied by a specially designed spray machine in which water is mixed with dry materials and made into a free flowing homogeneous slurry. This fully wetted slurry is then pumped to a spray nozzle where it is atomised with air and sprayed effectively without rebound loss.
Design Features
Monolite Spray Working Lining
- Faster tundish turn-round times.
- No rebound.
- Increased life of safety lining.
- High level of insulation.
- Good deskulling.
- Contoured lining thickness for even longer sequence casting - Slag zone thickness can be easily increased if required.
- Suitable for both HOT and COLD practice.
- Monocon tundish spray machine.
- Range of compositions to suit every requirement.
Application
- MONOLITE is a sprayed, lightweight magnesia based coating which protects the permanent lining of continuous casting tundishes. Since MONOLITE is sprayed, not gunned, rebound loss is eliminated.
- After drying, MONOLITE gives good mechanical resistance and high insulation values together with excellent erosion resistance and deskulling properties.
- MONOLITE is equally suited to both hot and cold tundish practice.
MONOLITE Drying/Pre-heating schedule
As the MONOLITE lining can be used in a HOT or COLD tundish environment, the drying and pre-heating schedule can be adjusted accordingly. In both drying and pre-heating, care should be taken to apply heat evenly and without flame impingement directly onto the sprayed surface.
