Development and Service

Development

The process of steel production is continually changing. Responsible engineers always aim to produce higher grade steel, while reducing production costs – this is why the quality of the refractory concepts is so important: First, as refractory products are in permanent contact with the liquid steel, there is the risk of infiltration; second, as refractory products are subject to continuous wear, it can increase the permanent costs of the steel production process. Research and development accounts for one fifth of its operational expenses at WEERULIN.

Our laboratory team comprises renowned refractory development engineers, experienced mineralogists and metallur- gists. Of the 100 new developments in our labs each year, more than a third will be put into testing by our customers. WEERULIN products are truly innovative.
