Ladle Furnace
A ladle furnace (LF) also known as a transfer ladle utilizes the roof like a typical electric arc furnace. An EAF utilizes an 8 to 25 megavolt ampere transformer. Three electrodes for arc heating are inserted and the ladle acts as the furnace shell.
Ladle furnaces are utilized to relieve the primary melter of secondary refining. This process creates a layer of slag that protects the refractory from arc damage and transfers heat to the liquid steel. During the process argon or electromagnetic stirring is applied for better heat transfer.
Resco Products evaluates the conditions in which your furnace operates extending the life of your ladle lining. Resco will identify any stress points to determine the best products and processes for your application.

Adaphos 85 Dip
ADAPHOS 85 is a wet ready-mixed high alumina bonding mortar with a chemical bonding system. With the unique bonding system, a high bonding strength is developed at lower temperatures (300-600°F) and the high bonding strength continues until a ceramic bonding occurs. ADAPHOS 85 is primarily used to lay up high alumina brick in ladles and is available in both trowelling and dipping consistencies. It is used in areas where severe service conditions require increased refractoriness to corrosion/erosion from slags.
