Increased worldwide globalization in term of economy and competition imposes innovative measure for the steelmaker targeting cost reduction in order to have the ability to withstand the pressure of the market. In parallel the demand for high purity and highest quality steels continues to grow from year to year, especially in the sector automotive in transportation of oil and gas, in the building and in the manufacture of heavy plate. As they allow producers to be up to the requirements while allowing expanding their product mix, new secondary metallurgical treatments have become a must additionally to standard equipment elements of steel plants modern. Major of these treatments occurs in the steel ladle increasing the pressure to ensure a reliable and as possible neutral reactor. The development of new methods for refractory lining ladles has to integrate these both increasing tougher process operating parameters, need of high reliability and good availability at the best cost/performance. This challenge has conducted Refratechnik to develop a new concept, the micro zoning, applied with success actually in India, but with a lot of potential in other countries.
