Refractory Materials for Converters

Converters are key production units in the steel industry, where molten iron is alloyed into steel. Extreme temperature changes, chemical stress, and mechanical wear place exceptional demands on refractory structures.

Betker delivers monolithic refractory solutions tailored to the challenging operating conditions of converters. Customer-specific materials offer durable and cost-efficient performance. The use of recycled raw materials supports our customers in meeting their environmental and sustainability goals.

Customer-Specific Converter Solutions

Every steel plant and foundry operates under unique conditions. That’s why we design and deliver converter lining solutions based on specific customer needs. Our product range includes spray mixes, mix solutions, and refractory elements that support efficient converter operation.

We specialise in spray mixes that incorporate up to 50% recycled raw materials —without compromising performance. This delivers both cost savings and a more sustainable production process.

When designing refractory solutions for converters, we take into account:

  • Heat loads and exposure to molten metal 
  • Chemical stress, such as reactions with steel, slag and gases 
  • Mechanical wear caused by the movement of metal and slag 
  • Ease of maintenance and optimised service intervals
