1. Refractory Planning & Installation
- Plan and execute refractory relining, patching, gunning, fettling, and maintenance for all SMS units.
- Supervise refractory lining of EAF roofs, sidewalls, hearths, spouts, LF/VD ladles, and tundish sections.
- Ensure correct drying, baking, and preheating procedures before furnace startup.
- Implement best practices for brick, castable, and monolithic installation as per approved drawings and specifications.
- Coordinate with production and maintenance teams to align lining schedules for minimal downtime and maximum equipment utilization.

2. Refractory Performance Monitoring
- Record and analyze refractory consumption, campaign life, and performance data for each furnace and ladle.
- Monitor refractory wear patterns, tapping temperatures, and slag chemistry for optimizing refractory performance.
- Track tundish and working lining life to maintain consistent casting quality and operational efficiency.
- Conduct root cause analysis for premature refractory failures and suggest corrective or design improvements.
- Support initiatives for material selection and design enhancement for improved refractory life and cost reduction.
