Frequently Asked Questions

About products

What is Calorizing?

In short, Calorizing is the process of diffusing aluminum into steel surfaces. When the atmospheric temperature rises to 1,000 degrees, a heat resistant aluminum-iron alloy is formed on the surface of the steel pipe, which is called a calorized layer.

What is CA Lance?

CA Lance stands for Calorized Lance, a type of heat-resistant lance pipe that has calorized layers and refractory ceramic coatings on both inner and outer surfaces of the pipes. Due to its strong resistance against high heat and oxidation, CA Lance is often used for injecting oxygen and carbon during the steel making process in electric furnaces.

What is SC Lance?

The word “SC” in the name means “Self-Consuming”. SC lances are mainly used for removing stuck slag on converters, cleaning tap holes on BF (Blast Furnace) and slag doors on EAF (Electric Arc Furnace). First, we select HRC as a suitable material for lancing, then we manufacture SC lances by ourselves using high frequency electric resistance welding equipment.

What is Thermic Lance?

Thermic Lances are made of MS pipes filled with steel wires (Type W) or steel wires and inner tubes (Type T). The product creates extremely high temperatures up to 3,000 ~ 4,000 degrees and is used to cut heavy scrap or clean up spilled iron/slag.

What is Ceramic Coated Lance Pipe?

Ceramic Coated Lance Pipe is a lance pipe made of carbon mild steel pipe with refractory coating on both inner and outer surface of the pipe. Ceramic Coated Lance Pipe is used for oxygen and carbon injection in electric furnaces, but with a lower yield than CA Lance.

Why do Calorized Lance Pipes last longer than normal lance pipes?

Daiwa Calorized Lance Pipes gain considerable advantage of having both Aluminum Diffusion (Calorizing) and Ceramic Coating inside and outside of the pipes. This makes them 3 to 10 times more durable and longer lasting than normal lance pipes.

How can switching from carbon mild steel pipe to CA Lance benefits the company?

Due to the extended lifespan of CA lance pipes, steel mill consumption of lance pipes will be reduced from 3 to 10 times when switching from carbon mild steel pipe to CA Lance Pipe. A mill can also save on transportation costs, labor costs, and heating time because less lance pipe needs to be shipped and replaced during furnace operation.

Which type of Thermic Lance should I choose?

Daiwa Lance supplies two types of Thermic Lance: Type-T and Type-W.
With a mixture of wires and an inner pipe, Type-T produces a straight flame at high speed, which makes it excellent for cutting steel scraps, slags, aluminum, and cast iron.
On the other hand, with a full pack of wires, Type-W produces a wider flame at higher temperature, which makes it ideal for making holes in high melting point materials such as stainless steel, copper, brass, and refractory bricks.

What is the melting point of the calorized layer?

The calorized layer has a melting point of 2,050 degree Celsius. When Calorized Lance Pipes are exposed to the high temperature, the calorized layer forms a heat-resistant aluminum oxide over the surface of the pipe and protects steel against severe oxidation.
