Nozzle Filling Compound (NFC)

Nozzle Filling Compound is a specialized refractory product designed for use in steel transfer ladles equipped with slide gate mechanisms. Engineered with selected granulometry and high refractoriness, the compound is formulated to resist sintering when in contact with molten steel at temperatures around 1600°C under high ferrostatic pressure within the ladle nozzle-well cavity.

This thermal and structural stability typically allows the compound to remain free-flowing, facilitating smooth and uninterrupted steel flow upon slide gate opening. In most cases, discharge occurs naturally or with minimal oxygen lancing, helping establish a controlled and consistent stream from the ladle. Know More

Metallurgical Flux

Gajanan Flux is a neutral-effect additive designed for use in steel melting processes, particularly in induction and electric arc furnaces. It is formulated to help maintain the chemical composition of the charge without introducing reactive elements. In various plant observations, the use of Gajanan Flux has been associated with improved furnace yields—typically in the range of 1.5% to 2.0% for scrap-based plants and up to 4% in sponge-based operations. The flux also supports reduced power consumption during the melting cycle and helps lower reliance on carbon-based supplements such as metallurgical coke, as well as strong de-oxidizers, depending on melt conditions.
