Our Expertise
Steel and metallurgy facilities push coatings to their thermal and mechanical limits. Induscoat applies high-temperature resistant systems to furnaces, converters, ladles and rolling mill stands, combined with cold-curing epoxy repairs from Chester Molecular and Induscoat for hydraulic cylinder rods, bearing housings and cooling circuits. We help integrated mills and foundries extend campaign life and reduce refractory and mechanical maintenance cycles.
Key Challenges We Solve
- Furnace and converter high-temp coating
- Hydraulic cylinder rod restoration
- Bearing housing and cooling circuit repair
- Rolling mill stand protection
Equipment We Protect
- Furnace shells and reheating furnace walls
- Converters and ladles
- Rolling mill stands and roll chocks
- Hydraulic cylinder rods and bearing housings
- Cooling circuits and descaling headers
Operational Constraints
- Sustained temperatures up to 1300 °C in furnace zones
- Thermal shock from liquid metal contact and water cooling
- Heavy mechanical loads and vibration on rolling stands
- Cyclic operation with frequent starts and stops
Recommended Products & Brands
- Arcor silicone high-temperature coatings for furnace shell and converter service (up to 650 °C continuous)
- Alumina tile solutions for high-wear zones (descale headers, chute liners)
- Chester Molecular composite for hydraulic cylinder rod and bearing housing rebuild
- Foundry castings with grade selection for rolling mill stands (ASTM A781 / A29 grades)
Types of Shutdowns
- Planned campaign end and refractory reline (7–21 day shutdown)
- Roll change and stand maintenance window
- Emergency shutdown on hydraulic failure or water-cooling breach
Risks We Help You Avoid
- Furnace shell failure causing extended production loss
- Hydraulic oil leak creating fire and slip hazards
- Roll chock and bearing damage from inadequate lubrication or wear
- Cooling circuit breach triggering emergency water shutoff
Sector FAQ
How do you protect a steel furnace against heat and wear?
Induscoat applies Arcor high-temperature coatings (HT silicone, ceramic) on furnace shells, converters and ladles, rated to 1100 °C. For rolling stands and hydraulic cylinders we apply Chester Molecular composites that withstand oil, heat and high mechanical loads.
Do you repair rolling-mill hydraulic cylinders?
Yes. We rebuild hydraulic-cylinder rods worn by Chester Molecular composite, with no machining or chrome plating, with a finish that restores seal tightness and withstands high-pressure hydraulic oil. Turnaround is days versus weeks for a replacement.
