Steel Division

The Vesuvius Flow Control business unit supplies the global steel industry with consumable ceramic products, systems, robotics, digital services and technical services. These products are used to contain, control and monitor the flow of molten steel in the continuous casting process. 

The continuous casting process enables steel manufactured from a blast furnace or an electric arc furnace to be cast without interruption, whilst protecting it from the atmosphere. Avoiding atmospheric contact is crucial as it significantly reduces contamination and oxidation of the steel being produced.

Vesuvius’ Advanced Refractories business unit supplies complete value-added solutions to its customers, including specialist refractory materials, advanced installation technologies (including robots), computational fluid dynamics capabilities and lasers.

Our main customers are steel producers and manufacturers of steel production equipment.

The Sensors and Probes business unit offers digital measurement solutions to our customers to enable them to make their underlying processes more efficient and reliable.

The business unit focuses on providing a range of sensors and probes that enhance the control and monitoring of our customers’ production processes, complementing Vesuvius’ strong presence and expertise in molten metal engineering.
