Metallurgical Lances

Metallurgical Lances
Lances typically comprise of a composite assembly incorporating a steel tube (the ‘core’) surrounded by castable refractory material.
Monocon lance production started around 30 years ago in South Yorkshire, UK. Initially the plant supplied a simple gas stir lance design which was soon supplemented by lances covering all application requirements such as Steel Powder Injection, Oxygen re-heat and Iron Desulphurisation.
Additional lance production capacity was created by the opening of Mono Ceramics (MCI) in Michigan, USA in the 1990’s and today current Production Capacity exceeds 25,000 lances per annum. For further information on Monocon's Lance refractory products, please click here.
