Boost Refractory Performance with SS Fibre 310 – High-Temperature Strength You Can Trust

In demanding industrial environments, maintaining the integrity and performance of refractory linings is critical to safety, efficiency, and cost control. One of the most effective ways to enhance refractory strength, reduce cracking, and increase durability is by using Stainless Steel Fibre 310 a high-performance reinforcement material specifically engineered for extreme heat applications.


SS Fibre 310

What is SS Fibre 310?


SS Fibre 310 refers to stainless steel fibres made from Grade 310 alloy—an austenitic stainless steel known for its excellent high-temperature resistance, oxidation resistance, and mechanical strength. These fibres are typically added to monolithic refractory castables to enhance their thermal shock resistance and reduce structural failure.


They are available in various lengths, shapes (e.g., corrugated, hooked, straight), and aspect ratios depending on the application.


Why SS 310 Stainless Steel


Grade 310 stainless steel is composed of high levels of chromium and nickel, which provide outstanding resistance to:


  • Oxidation up to 1100–1200°C

  • Thermal fatigue and shock

  • Creep and scaling at elevated temperatures

  • Corrosive industrial gases


This makes SS Fibre 310 ideal for high-temperature furnaces, kilns, reformers, and incinerators, where refractory linings are constantly exposed to thermal cycling and aggressive atmospheres.


Key Benefits of Using SS Fibre 310 in Refractory Applications


  • Enhanced Thermal Shock Resistance

    The fibres bridge across micro-cracks during heating and cooling cycles, reducing crack propagation and improving structural integrity.


  • Improved Mechanical Strength

    Fibres act like internal reinforcement, much like rebar in concrete, to increase the flexural and tensile strength of castables.


  • Reduced Spalling and Lining Failure

    By absorbing and redistributing stress, SS Fibre 310 significantly minimizes spalling, especially in cyclic heating environments.


  • Extended Lining Life

    Greater durability and resistance to high-temperature degradation translate into longer service life and reduced maintenance.


  • Versatile Application

    SS Fibre 310 can be used in a wide range of industries including steel, cement, power, petrochemical, glass, and foundries.


Common Applications of SS Fibre 310

  • Tundish and ladle linings in steel plants

  • Burner pipes and riser ducts in cement kilns

  • Boilers and incinerators in power generation

  • Reformer and cracker units in petrochemical plants

  • Crown and port areas in glass furnaces


Whether you're installing castables, gunning mixes, or ramming materials, adding SS Fibre 310 significantly boosts overall lining performance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is SS Fibre 310 used for?

SS Fibre 310 is used to reinforce monolithic refractory materials such as castables, gunning mixes, and ramming masses. It improves thermal shock resistance, mechanical strength, and crack control in high-temperature applications.

Why choose Grade 310 stainless steel for fibres?

Grade 310 stainless steel offers superior high-temperature strength, excellent oxidation resistance up to 1100–1200°C, and good performance in thermal cycling environments, making it ideal for harsh industrial conditions.

How does SS Fibre 310 improve refractory life?

By distributing thermal and mechanical stresses, the fibre prevents crack propagation, reduces spalling, and enhances structural integrity—leading to longer refractory life and fewer shutdowns.

Can SS Fibre 310 be used in acidic or corrosive environments?

Yes, due to its high chromium and nickel content, SS 310 offers good resistance to oxidation and mild corrosive gases, making it suitable for many aggressive atmospheres.

Is SS Fibre 310 compatible with all refractory types?

SS Fibre 310 is best suited for monolithic refractories like castables and gunning mixes. It may not be suitable for use in brick linings or fibre modules.
