As a result, we deliver factory-direct pricing, consistent anchor quality, and fast delivery. Similarly, this applies to all your furnace, kiln, boiler, and petrochemical heater lining projects.
In addition, we produce these heat resistant refractory anchors in 310S (2520), 304, 316, Inconel 601, and 253MA alloys. Meanwhile, we manufacture them from flat bar rather than round wire. Therefore, the broad flat section spreads stress more evenly and provides superior holding power for thicker refractory linings.
Technical Specifications of Flat Y Refractory Anchors
To begin with, we manufacture our Flat Y anchors in a range of sizes and materials. Specifically, the table below summarizes the standard product range.
| Material | Max. Service Temp. | Flat Bar Thickness | Flat Bar Width | Total Length | Typical Application |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Q235 Carbon Steel | 600°C | 3 – 4 mm | 15 – 25 mm | 120 – 200 mm | Low temperature insulation layer |
| 304 Stainless Steel | 850°C | 4 – 5 mm | 20 – 25 mm | 150 – 250 mm | Medium temperature kilns |
| 316 Stainless Steel | 900°C | 4 – 5 mm | 20 – 25 mm | 150 – 250 mm | Corrosive furnace environments |
| 310S (2520) | 1100 – 1300°C | 4 – 6 mm | 20 – 30 mm | 150 – 300 mm | High temperature furnace & kiln linings |
| Inconel 601 | 1200°C | 4 – 6 mm | 20 – 30 mm | 150 – 300 mm | Severe oxidation & carburizing environments |
| 253MA | 1150°C | 4 – 6 mm | 20 – 30 mm | 150 – 300 mm | High creep resistance applications |
Material & Dimensional Specifications for Flat Y Anchors
- To begin with, we use 310S (2520) heat resistant stainless steel as the standard high-temperature material. This grade resists oxidation up to 1300°C and offers excellent creep strength.
- Moreover, we supply Inconel 601 for applications requiring resistance to oxidation, carburization, and sulfidation at temperatures up to 1200°C.
- Additionally, we offer 253MA for high creep resistance and 304/316 for medium temperature or corrosive environments.
- Furthermore, our Flat Y anchors feature a 120° angle between the stem and branches as standard, with 90° available on request. The stem has a triangular welded section for reliable drawn arc stud welding.
- For special orders, we supply anchors with anchorage holes and fins on the branches. These create additional surface area to hold the refractory material securely.
- Finally, we offer OEM & ODM — we customize flat bar thickness, width, total length, branch angle, and material grade according to your drawings.
How Flat Y Refractory Anchors Work — Superior Holding for Thick Linings
In fact, the Flat Y refractory anchor is designed to secure thick castable and plastic refractory linings in high-temperature industrial equipment. Furthermore, the flat bar design provides superior load distribution compared to round wire anchors.
To begin with, the anchor is welded to the furnace shell using drawn arc stud welding. Meanwhile, the triangular foot melts and fuses with the base metal, creating a strong, permanent weld. Then, the refractory castable or plastic is applied over the anchor. Consequently, the Y-shaped branches and anchorage fins embed deeply into the refractory, holding it firmly in place.
Therefore, the flat bar Y anchor prevents spalling, delamination, and movement of the refractory lining during thermal cycling. Moreover, the broad flat section spreads stress more evenly than round wire, making it ideal for thicker linings and high-wear zones.
Key Advantages of Flat Y Refractory Anchors
- First, the flat bar construction provides a larger contact area with the refractory, improving load distribution and holding power.
- Second, the Y-shape design with 120° branch angles offers excellent mechanical interlock for castable and plastic linings.
- Third, the anchorage fins and holes create additional surface area to grip the refractory material securely.
- Finally, the drawn arc stud welding process produces a weld stronger than the base metal, ensuring reliable anchorage even under thermal cycling.
How to Install Flat Y Refractory Anchors
- First, prepare the furnace shell surface. Clean the metal surface to remove rust, scale, oil, and moisture for proper electrical contact.
- Then, load the anchor into the stud welder. Place the Flat Y anchor into the stud welding gun with the ceramic ferrule positioned around the triangular foot.
- Next, weld the anchor in place. Press the welder perpendicular to the furnace shell and activate the weld. The drawn arc process fuses the triangular foot to the base metal.
- After that, verify the weld. Check for full fusion and proper anchor alignment. Perform bend tests per project requirements.
- Finally, apply the refractory lining. Cast, gun, or ram the refractory material around the anchors. Ensure the branches and fins are fully embedded.
Applications & Industries for Flat Y Refractory Anchors
- For instance, in steel industry heating furnaces, they secure high-temperature castable linings on furnace walls and roofs.
- Also, in cement and lime kilns, they hold refractory bricks and castables in the burning zone and transition zones.
- In addition, for CFB boilers and waste incinerators, they anchor refractory linings in cyclones, risers, and furnace outlets.
- Furthermore, in petrochemical heaters and reformers, they secure refractory in convection coils and tube sheets.
- Lastly, in power generation and industrial boilers, they anchor insulation and refractory for energy efficiency and personnel protection.
