Development of Coatings for Protection of Blast Furnace Air Tuyeres

  • Published:
Metallurgist Aims and scope

A coating based on boron carbide, aluminum oxide slip, and also aluminosilicate adhesive is used to improve the service properties of Cu–Al diffusion layer on blast furnace air tuyeres. An abrasive-resistant coating prepared from tungsten carbide powder wire is considered as an alternative to aluminium coating. KhN45Yu steel with a slip covering is tested to evaluate the possibility of using it for protecting a tuyere outer surface from burn-out. It is established that Kh20N80 nichrome coating and aluminosilicate adhesive coating applied to a diffusion layer increases the average life of standard aluminized tuyeres.
