The 120-ton one-ladle hot metal ladles at Baowu Group Zhongnan Iron & Steel previously achieved an unsatisfactory average service life, with frequent off-line repairs seriously constraining hot metal turnover efficiency and disrupting the continuity of steelmaking operations. Since adopting JHR’s “high-performance green refractories reinforced in-situ with titanium-based non-oxides for ironmaking,” the wear rate of the working lining bricks has dropped significantly, and the overall ladle campaign life has been extended by more than 30%. This substantial improvement in ladle turnover efficiency has considerably reduced the frequency of ladle off-line repairs, effectively lowering labor intensity and refractory consumption costs, while providing solid support for stable and efficient steelmaking operations. In terms of economic impact, this technology has continuously helped the customer increase total production output from 2023 through 2025, generating over CNY 10 million in additional profits. JHR remains committed to green, long-life refractory solutions that help customers achieve both cost reduction and low-carbon production goals.
