Blast Furnace Copper Tuyere​ is a critical process component in modern blast furnace ironmaking systems. It is typically installed in the blast furnace hearth tuyere belt, with its core function being to continuously deliver high-temperature hot air (approximately 1100-1300°C) into the furnace, ensuring sufficient combustion of coke and uniform melting of the charge materials. Due to its direct exposure to high-temperature radiation, scouring by gas flow, and contact with molten slag and iron, the tuyere component must possess extremely high thermal conductivity, thermal shock resistance, and abrasion resistance. Winworth employs high-purity copper and precision manufacturing processes to ensure the product maintains structural stability under extreme operating conditions, effectively extending the continuous campaign cycle of the blast furnace.

Typical Application Scenarios

• Iron and Steelmaking Blast Furnaces: Serves as the core component of the tuyere assembly, steadily supplying hot air to the hearth to maintain the iron oxide reduction reaction.

• Adaptation for Special Processes: Supports intensified smelting scenarios such as pulverized coal injection and oxygen-enriched combustion. The front end can be composite-treated with ceramic coatings or metal-ceramic liner tubes to resist high-speed particle erosion.

Customization and Service Support

• Dimensional Customization: Provides non-standard designs (e.g., length, inclination angle, interface specifications) based on the blast furnace tuyere belt dimensions, blowing parameters (air velocity, temperature), and cooling system requirements.

• Technical Collaboration: Supports customers by providing operational data (e.g., coal ratio, hot air temperature, slag basicity). Engineers recommend materials and cooling solutions, and can provide structural simulation reports (thermal stress, flow field analysis).

• Inspection Assurance: Each batch of products is accompanied by material reports (chemical composition, mechanical properties) and non-destructive testing certificates to ensure traceability.
