Silica Ramming Mass

Is a type of refractory material primarily used in the lining of induction furnaces for the melting of steel and other metals. It is made from high-purity silica (SiO₂) in the form of finely crushed particles, carefully graded and mixed without any binder.

Key Features:
  • High Purity: Contains over 98–99% silica.

  • Thermal Stability: Can withstand very high temperatures.

  • Acidic Nature: Suitable for acidic lining applications.

  • High Wear Resistance: Prolongs the life of furnace lining.

  • Low Thermal Conductivity: Helps in energy efficiency.

Applications:
  • Mainly used in induction furnaces for steel and non-ferrous metal melting.

  • Also used in foundries and casting industries.

Advantages:
  • Improves furnace life due to its high refractoriness.

  • Reduces power consumption during melting.

  • Prevents contamination of molten metal.

  • Easy to install and maintain.

Types:
  • Premixed Ramming Mass: Mixed with a binder or boric acid.

  • Ordinary Ramming Mass: Requires mixing before use.
