Industrial sectors & concepts
Chemical, environment, and energy.
The development of new technologies in the fields of energy generation, environmental protection, and the chemical industry also places new demands on the environmental compatibility of refractory materials. The same applies for utmost efficiency in the use of resources. Refratechnik Steel has accepted this challenge and works closely together with plant engineering companies and plant owner/operators to find high-temperature solutions aimed at increasing efficiency and meeting emission targets.
In order to cover as wide a spectrum as possible, Refratechnik uses shaped products as well as all kinds of unshaped products (cementitious and non-cementitious) for all conventional processing methods.

Battery industry
Saggars for sintering cathode active material (CAM) for lithium-ion batteries
The sintering of cathode active materials (CAM) in roller furnaces is a crucial step in the production of high-performance materials for lithium-ion batteries, especially for electric vehicles. The quality of the CAM has a direct impact on the energy density, longevity and overall performance of the battery, which is crucial for the market success of electric vehicles.

The requirements for the saggars
used to sinter these materials are very high. Chemical inertness and thermal stability are crucial to ensure that the materials are not contaminated or damaged during the sintering process. Uniform heat distribution is also important to ensure consistent sintering quality and to achieve the desired properties of the active cathode materials.
The life cycle of the saggars is also an important factor, as they have to withstand frequent thermal cycles and chemical influences.
