SAIL to increase usage of domestically produced refractory products
Refractories are essential materials used by the steel industry in the internal linings of blast furnaces and converters used for steel making, in vessels for holding and transporting metals, in furnaces for heating steel before further processing etc.
Enhancing domestically manufactured refractory usage in steel plants
Erstwhile Bharat Refractories Limited, carved out in 1978 from the then Bokaro Steel Limited under Hindustan Steel Limited as a public enterprise under the Steel Ministry, was merged with SAIL on April 1, 2007 to become SAIL Refractory Unit (SRU). With its rich experience of decades, SRU is today one of the largest manufacturers of refractories in India.

in all fields of its activities
With its rich experience of decades, the unit, with an annual turnover exceeding `500 crores, serves SAIL through its extensive manufacturing and marketing network, which employs around 600 people. Headquartered at Bokaro in the state of Jharkhand, SRU comprises several units equipped with a wide range of manufacturing facilities.
Contact UsIt is situated on the bank of the Damodar, 40 kms from Bokaro. With a capacity of 26,000 tonnes, SRU Bhandaridah is a pioneer in manufacturing tap hole mass.
It is situated in Ramgarh, 50 kms from Ranchi and 90 kms from Bokaro. The installed capacity of the unit is 7,500 tonnes. Equipped with 2,500-tonne high duty presses.
It is situated in the state of Chhattisgarh near SAIL’s Bhilai Steel Plant. The unit is engaged in producing the entire range of high quality of basic and silica refractories.
It also situated in Ramgarh, is an ISO:9002-certified unit with an installed capacity of 42,000 tonnes. The unit’s products include a full line of alumino-silicate refractories.
Products are used by customers positively impact daily life.

Tap Hole Mass
Blast furnace tap hole mass is a prepared ready to use refractory product, made of a bond of aggregates, additives, and plasticizers. It is applied to ensure periodical and stable tapping from the blast furnace and also to protect the inner surface of tap hole bricks.

Trough Ramming Mass
Acidic Ramming Mass is used in the lining of induction furnaces. Quality of Acidic Ramming mass is directly related to the heating performance of the furnaces. Better quality of lining results in the smooth working of furnaces, optimum output and better metallurgical control.

Ultra Low Cement Castables
Ultra-low cement castable refractories are primarily used in the iron and steel industry due to their high density and abrasion resistance. It is manufactured under strict supervision of qualified & experienced work force.

Magnesia Carbon Bricks
This is a carbon composite refractories materials made of magnesium oxide materials and carbon materials. They are widely used in the converter lining, electric arc furnace and slag line of ladle.

Basic & Silica Refractories
At high temperatures, acidic refractories may also react with limes and basic oxides. Silica refractories are refractories containing more than 93% silicon oxide (SiO2). They are acidic, have high resistance to thermal shock.

Alumino-Silicate Refractories
The silica-alumina refractories are materials which are increasingly demanded and whose manufacturing involves necessarily the synthesis of mullite. They have the attributes of being relatively inexpensive compared to other bricks.
