Ceramic Coated Oxygen Lance Pipes are used for blowing oxygen/ carbon in electric arc furnaces. CCP are coated with refractory / ceramic on the outside and inside of pipes.
Various characteristics of CCP are as follows:
Excellent Refractoriness: resistance against heat, erosion and spalling
Speedy De-Carburization: because of longer life and superior heat resistance. There is no decease in its strength and pipe remains straight resulting in optimum metal oxygen interaction
Greater Efficiency: of reaction with oxygen, pipes can be inserted in liquid metals with / without bending which avoids bubbling of oxygen near surface of metal or slag
Cost Reduction: considering above advantages, various saving can be expected as electric power, decrease in consumption of electrodes, lower melting time, saving in cost of pipes
