EUCOR is a material produced by fusion of suitable raw material in an electric arc furnace at a temperature
exceeding 2000°C and subsequent crystallisation of produced smelt. Smelt is cast into
sand forms in the common foundry way. The final product is aluminium zircon silicate.
consisting of spinel, baddeleyite and glass phase. Eucor has excellent properties,
especially hardness, resistance to high temperatures and chemical corrosion.
Usage of products made of EUCOR
Due to its great hardness, they are used in conditions with extreme abrasive strain,
such as pneumatic transport of silica sand, sinter and especially in pipeline bends. Other
examples include lining of separators, spiral spillways, bulk conveyers, concrete mixers and mixing devices,
etc. Resistance to high temperatures enables usage for lining of glass furnaces above
the level of the melt, special shaped pieces of burner walls and burners themselves, shaped
pieces of regeneration chambers, coking plant ramps, etc. An interesting possibility is usage in fly-ash
separators with high entry temperature, where all the properties including chemical
resistance may be utilised. Due to its high strength and resistance to abrasion, EUCOR may be succesfully
used in some metallurgic operations for transport of flakes and slag. Wire works use
with satisfaction eucor conductors – combs.
