Metallic and ceramic refractory anchors are critical components used to secure refractory linings in high-temperature industrial equipment. Metallic anchors, typically made from heat-resistant alloys like stainless steel or Inconel, are designed to endure extreme heat and corrosive conditions. Available in various shapes, such as V-shaped or Y-shaped, these anchors cater to specific application needs. Ceramic anchors, made from materials like fireclay or high alumina, are used in environments with higher temperatures in combination with metallic anchors. Both types play a crucial role in ensuring the stability of monolithic refractory linings, preventing cracking, detachment, or damage under intense thermal stress.
Industries such as petrochemical, steel, cement, and lime production rely on these anchors to maintain the integrity of their furnaces, kilns, and reactors. Metallic anchors are commonly used in processes with high heat and chemical exposure, while ceramic anchors are better suited for environments with thicker linings where extreme temperatures and thermal cycling are prevalent. These anchors are essential in extending the lifespan of industrial equipment by keeping refractory linings in place, even in harsh operating conditions.
