7TH EUROPEAN COKE AND IRONMAKING CONGRESS - ECIC 2016

The presentation “Protecting Sintering Plants - Durability, sustainability and efficiency in wear protection” shows new approaches and developments for increasing the lifetime and efficiency of wear protection in the high temperature area of agglomeration plants (and related) to maintain cost-optimized production in agreement with environmental requirements. Scientific analyses of crucial parts with focus on common products and how they affect (and are affected) by other parts in the process chain and how to minimize influence on the lifetime of parts or plant availability. In support, the presentation considers the different welding wires and hardfacing qualities for generic structures, regarding the newest developments in welding technologies. Although this presentation is apparently approaching these topics in a sintering plant, it can be applied to multiple plants with the same issue; high temperature abrasion from heavy bulk within the steel industry.
