Advantages of Quartz based ramming mass
The quality of ramming mass has a direct impact on the heating performance of the furnaces leading to the smooth working of furnaces, optimum output and better metallurgical control. It comes in three variants – acidic (made from silica), basic (made from magnesia) and neutral (made from alumina).
Silica ramming mass (also known as acidic ramming mass) is the most commonly used owing to its inherent advantages and application in the induction furnace of the steel industry.
The advantage of quartz ramming mass lies in its lowest thermal conductivity resulting in low energy loss, low expansion coefficient leading to the stable lining, and good resistance to temperature. The cost is 10-20% lower as compared to alumina or magnesia based ramming mass.
Industry Outlook
India is the second-largest producer of crude steel as well as the second-largest consumer of finished steel in the world. The sector contributes to about 2% of the total GDP of the country.
Indian steel sector is further bifurcated into the primary and secondary steel sector based on their production pathways. Overall the secondary sector, accounts for 40% steel production in India.
The value chain of the secondary steel sector involves the production of sponge iron through the direct reduction route (DRI), which is followed by the production of crude steel (semi-finished steel) through Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) or Induction Furnaces (IF).
The National Steel Policy (NSP) 2017 envisages 300 million tonnes steelmaking capacity and 160 kgs per capital steel consumption by 2030.
