Reducing the carbon footprint by the use of fiber ceramic composite coatings

The reduction of CO2 emissions are a clear goal of all industry sectors, including the steel industry. More efficient production routes, just like the CSP® process (Compact Strip Production) – the combination of the casting and rolling process – are a big step to save energy and thereby emissions. However, even here is potential to be even more efficient. A protective coating for the insulation material of the tunnel furnace rollers made of fiber ceramic composite helps to lower the energy consumption under the harsh ambient CSP® tunnel furnace conditions.
