A furnace lancing pipe is a high-temperature-resistant pipe used in steelmaking, foundries, and metal processing for injecting oxygen or other gases into molten metal. It plays a crucial role in cutting, refining, and decarburization processes, ensuring efficient combustion and impurity removal.
Key Properties of Furnace Lancing Pipes
1. Material Composition: Seamless mild steel, stainless steel, or ceramic-coated pipes.
2. Density: Typically ranges from 7,800–8,000 kg/m³ for steel pipes.
3. Thermal Conductivity: 50–80 W/mK, ensuring efficient heat transfer.
4. Maximum Operating Temperature: Up to 1,700°C, depending on material type.
5. Corrosion & Oxidation Resistance: Designed to withstand extreme furnace conditions.
Applications of Furnace Lancing Pipes
Steel Industry: Oxygen lancing for decarburization and slag removal.
Foundries: Used for metal cutting and refining.
Cement & Petrochemical Plants: High-temperature gas injection for process optimization.
