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.

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.
