In the demanding environments of metallurgical and mining operations, slag pots serve as critical vessels for handling molten by-products and industrial waste. Our manufacturing expertise delivers high-quality slag pots engineered to withstand extreme thermal cycling, mechanical shock, and abrasive conditions in steel mills and copper mining facilities. These robust containers are precision-engineered to ensure safe handling, efficient transport, and reliable disposal of hot slag materials throughout intensive production cycles.
Material Excellence and Performance Characteristics
We utilize premium heat-resistant steel grades (ZG230-450, ZG270-500) specifically developed for high-temperature applications. Our slag pots demonstrate exceptional mechanical properties with tensile strength of 450-500 MPa, yield strength of 230-270 MPa, and elongation exceeding 20% at ambient temperatures. The material composition incorporates chromium and molybdenum elements that maintain structural integrity under thermal stress, resisting deformation and cracking when handling molten slag at temperatures reaching 1200°C. The pots' thick-walled construction (40-100mm) provides superior resistance to thermal fatigue and mechanical impact during lifting and transportation operations.
Advanced Manufacturing Process
Our manufacturing employs electric arc furnace melting and ladle refining techniques to achieve precise chemical composition and superior metal purity. The casting process utilizes sophisticated sand molding technology with resin-bonded systems that maintain dimensional accuracy for these large-scale components (5-50 ton capacity). We implement controlled pouring procedures with real-time thermal monitoring to ensure homogeneous solidification throughout the pot structure. Post-casting treatments include stress relieving and normalizing heat treatments to optimize mechanical properties. Critical wear areas receive specialized hardfacing applications using tungsten carbide composites, extending service life in highly abrasive environments.
Comprehensive Industrial Applications
Our slag pots serve essential functions in multiple metallurgical processes. In steel production, they handle blast furnace slag, converter slag, and ladle furnace by-products. Copper smelting operations utilize our pots for transporting molten slag from flash furnaces and converter units. Additional applications include ferronickel production, lead-zinc smelting, and precious metal refining operations. The pots are engineered with optimized center of gravity and lifting lug configurations to ensure stability during crane operations, while the interior profiles facilitate complete slag discharge and minimize buildup.
