Refractory Materials for Electric Arc Furnaces

Electric arc furnaces are essential in steel production, where high-temperature processes and electrical stress place exceptional demands on refractory materials. These materials must withstand extreme heat, rapid temperature changes, and chemical stress from molten metal and slag.

At Betker, we offer monolithic refractory solutions designed to maximise furnace service life and enable smooth, uninterrupted production.

Customer-Specific Refractory Materials

In electric arc furnaces, refractory materials play a crucial role in protecting structural components. Each production environment is unique, which is why Betker designs solutions tailored to specific processes and operating conditions.

Our range includes refractory mixes and elements engineered to endure heat, chemical stress, mechanical wear, and specialised production demands.

Key Products for Electric Arc Furnaces:

  • Delta elements – Protect the furnace roof and significantly extend service life  
  • Spray mixes – Enable fast installation and form a durable protective layer on hot surfaces

Refractory Products from Recycled Raw Materials

Refractory solutions for electric arc furnaces can include up to 50 % recycled raw materials — without compromising performance.

Using recycled content reduces the need for virgin raw materials, lowers the carbon footprint, and provides cost-effective solutions while maintaining high performance.
