Abstract
This article analyzes the composition and performance characteristics of a monolithic cover used in three-electrode steelmaking furnaces. A monolithic cover plays an important role in the steelmaking process in terms of heat storage, energy consumption reduction, and furnace efficiency. The study investigated the chemical and thermophysical properties of the cover material, their stability in high-temperature environments, and operational durability. According to the results, the use of high-aluminosilicate binders and heat-resistant additives significantly extends the service life of a monolithic cover. The article also analyzes the experiences of various manufacturers and develops proposals for optimal composition and technological solutions.
