What is Acidic Ramming Mass?

Acidic ramming mass is a refractory material used in the lining of induction furnaces, particularly in applications where an acidic environment is present. It is specifically designed to withstand the corrosive effects of acidic slags and other materials generated during high-temperature processes like metal smelting and refining.

The composition of acidic ramming mass typically includes high-purity silica, bonding agents, and other additives. The term “acidic” refers to its resistance to acidic substances. The high silica content provides excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and thermal shock, making it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments where exposure to acidic conditions is common.

The primary purpose of acidic ramming mass is to create a protective lining inside the furnace that can withstand the aggressive nature of acidic materials. This lining helps prevent erosion and damage to the furnace walls, ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the furnace in industrial processes.
