Ramming Mass - Overview

 

 

Ramming mass is a refractory material, typically a dense, moldable mixture of aggregates, binders, and additives, used to line the interiors of high-temperature industrial furnaces, particularly induction and electric arc furnaces. It gets its name from the installation method: it's compacted (rammed) into place to form a durable, heat-resistant lining.

Types of Ramming Mass

 

Silica ramming mass

The main raw material of silica ramming material is silica. Silica is the general name for vein quartz, quartzite, and quartz sandstone. Mainly used in acid refractory bricks for the metallurgical industry. Pure silica can be made into quartz glass or refined single-crystal silicon. In the chemical industry, it is used to prepare silicon compounds and silicates, and can also be used as a filling in sulfuric acid towers.

Corundum ramming mass

Corundum ramming material is a bulk material made of corundum, silicon carbide, graphite, and electrically calcined anthracite as raw materials, mixed with a variety of ultrafine powder additives, and fused cement or composite resin as a binding agent. It is used to fill the gap between the furnace cooling equipment and the masonry or the filling material for the masonry leveling layer.

Magnesium ramming mass

Magnesia ramming material is a bulk material made of fused magnesia as raw material, mixed with a variety of ultra-fine powder additives, and fused cement or composite resin as a binding agent. It is used to fill the gap between the furnace cooling equipment and the masonry or the filling material for the masonry leveling layer.

Medium frequency furnace ramming mass

The medium-frequency induction furnace has an induction coil made of copper tubes wound around the outside of the furnace. The metal charge is placed in the furnace. When the alternating current passes through the induction coil, an alternating magnetic flux is generated in the coil. Through the closed metal charge, the furnace charge An induced current is generated within a certain depth on the surface, causing the charge to heat and melt.

 

 
 
Advantages of Ramming Mass
Dry Ramming Mass

Improved Furnace Life

A uniform and dense lining created by ramming mass extends the life of your induction furnace and reduces the frequency of relining.

Magnesia Ramming Mass

Better Thermal Efficiency

Good quality ramming mass minimizes heat loss and improves energy efficiency, leading to lower operational costs.

Magnesia Alumina Spinel Ramming Mass

Enhanced Metal Quality

Impurities in low-grade ramming mass can contaminate molten metal. Trusted ramming mass suppliers provide materials with low impurities, helping maintain metal quality.

Dry Ramming Mass

Reduced Downtime

A durable lining reduces maintenance shutdowns, increasing productivity and throughput.

 

 

Application of Ramming Mass
 

Steel Industry
In the steel industry,Refractory ramming mass is essential for lining induction furnaces and ladles. Acidic ramming mass, known for its high strength and wear resistance, is often used in steel production. It ensures the integrity of furnace linings during the intense heat and chemical reactions involved in steelmaking. Basic ramming mass is also widely utilized due to its superior slag resistance, helping to prolong the lifespan of the furnace.

 

Iron Industry
In iron foundries, our ramming masses are employed in the lining of cupolas and other melting equipment. Their ability to withstand high temperatures and resist corrosion makes them ideal for applications where molten iron is processed. The choice of ramming mass, whether acidic or basic, depends on the specific requirements of the casting process and the desired properties of the final product.

 

Non-Ferrous Metal Industry
Ramming mass is also utilized in the non-ferrous metal industry, particularly in the production of aluminum and copper. Neutral ramming masses are favored in these applications due to their excellent thermal stability and resistance to chemical attack. They provide effective lining solutions that enhance the performance and efficiency of melting furnaces, contributing to higher yields and better-quality metal products.

 

Other Applications
Beyond metals, our ramming mass finds applications in various high-temperature processes, including cement production, glass manufacturing, and waste incineration. Their ability to withstand harsh conditions and provide insulation makes them suitable for lining kilns, furnaces, and reactors in these industries.

 

Major Components
Aggregate (60%–80%)
Typically composed of high-melting-point minerals (e.g., magnesia, corundum, silicon carbide, graphite), aggregates provide structural strength and corrosion resistance.
Fine Powder
Fills the voids between aggregates to improve density. Commonly used materials include refractory clay and silica micro powder.
Binder (<5%)
Used in small amounts, typically dry or hydraulic binders (e.g., cement, phosphate, asphalt), which are solid at room temperature and form chemical bonds or promote sintering when heated.

 

Magnesia Alumina Spinel Ramming Mass

 

Process of Ramming Mass

The various grains fractions are stored in bulk silos. Then the batching plant prepares a batch which consists of a mix of various grain fractions along with the requisite percentage of BORIC ACID as per the desired recipe. This batch is then mixed to a uniform consistency and packed in bags. The installed capacity of our crushing, sizing, and mixing plant is 200,000 MT per annum.

 

BORIC ACID is introduced in the ramming mass to provide adequate sintering without a marked
reduction in the refractoriness of the ramming mass. The production process of ramming mass involves the addition of 0.2 to 5.0% of Boric Acid, which enables the sintering of the crucible lining. Boric acid starts melting at 171 °C and separates to Boric oxide and water. This Boric oxide further reacts with the SiO2 in the Ramming mass at 440 °C and forming a borosilicate melt. This small percentage of melt formed binds the loose grains in the lining giving it strength. This is the mechanism of formation of a dense contact layer with molten metal and slag, which prevents the penetration of liquid metal into the lining and slows down impregnation of crucible material.

FAQ

 

Q: What is the purpose of ramming mass?

A: It is made of high-grade quartz, silica, magnesite, or alumina, carefully chosen to sustain severe temperatures and mechanical stress. The main purpose of ramming mass in steelmaking is to shield furnace walls from thermal shock and chemical attack, maintaining smooth operation.

Q: What is neutral ramming mass used for?

A: Neutral Ramming Mass is used as a refractory material for lining of induction furnaces to withstand very high temperatures. Ramming Mass is manufactured with great precision using modern techniques and quality raw materials which is being imported.

Q: What is the melting point of ramming mass?

A: Operating melting temp: 1500 - 1800°C (MAX) 5. Sintering temp: Sintering cycle to be indicated by tenderer. Final sintering temperature and sintering time should be clearly mentioned.

Q: What is ramming in refractory?

A: Ramming mass is another unshaped refractory material but with a drier consistency compared to castables. It's composed of coarse aggregates, fine powders, and a binder with a lower moisture content. This composition allows for a more compact and dense application.
