Melt extract stainless steel fibers are pliable and ductile product. They are both allow for more user-friendly than the stiff cut fibers and also have better flow features.
Melt extract stainless steel fiber features superior shock resistance, steep thermal gradients resistance and mechanical shock resistance, thus they can reduce the damage and cracking. Melt extract fibers are ideal refractory material that used in fire clays and torpedo ladle and also precasting concrete and situ and repair concrete due to their performance in thermal shock resistance.

Melt Extract steel fibers are spun directly from the melt using advanced Melt Extraction(ME) and Melt Overflow (MO) processes. Rapid cooling of the fiber during manufacture (equivalent to 50,000 per second) "freezes" the metallurgical structure, capturing it in an optimum state to resist high temperature corrosion - a state which is impossible for conventionally cast steel to match.The processing maximizes the effective distribution of the primary nickel and/or chromium alloying elements through out the fiber while simultaneously minimizing grain size.When coupled with skill of blending non-standard levels of performance enhancing key trace elements to the melt, a unique range of dedicated refractory fiber alloys have been produced which provide outstanding oxidation resistance and unmatched performance at elevated temperature.melt extract steel fiber impart increased thermal shock resistance, steep thermal gradients resistance and mechanical shock resistance, minimizing damage and delaying failure caused by cracking. By increasing refractory lifetimes steel fiber refractory reinforcement offers the end user a reduction in downtime and substantial savings in materials and labor costs. Melt Extract stainless fibers are fully annealed and therefore are more pliable and ductile. This is of particular benefit during the mixing cycle and when the refractory composite is installed. These pliable fibers are not only more user-friendly than the stiff "needle-like" cut fibers, but also have better flow characteristics. Dispersion is further aided by the optimum Aspect Ratio design guaranteeing rapid fiber separation during the mixing phase.
Cost savings are the main reason for adding stainless steel fibers. In all areas of high thermal and mechanical shock, fibers will at least double refractory life. Fiber costs up to 50% lower than comparable products.Low cost but high performance melt extract steel fibers provide the quickest payback. By increasing refractory lifetimes steel fiber refractory reinforcement offers the end user a reduction in downtime and substantial savings in materials and labor costs.
