Advanced Alloy Solutions for Direct Reduced Iron

Direct Reduction of Iron (DRI) plants operate under demanding reforming conditions elevated temperatures, large-diameter tubes, reducing gas atmospheres and continuous exposure to metal dusting risk. Component integrity in such environments directly influences plant availability, output stability and maintenance cycles.

At Uni Abex, we engineer centrifugal and static cast solutions designed specifically for these operational realities. From MIDREX®-based reformers to HYL/Energiron PGH systems, our components are developed to maintain structural reliability and dimensional stability under sustained furnace loads.

Reformer Tube Capability:

OD 200–300 mm | Minimum thickness 8.5 mm | Length 4–5.5 m (single piece)

PGH Tube Capability:

OD 100–250 mm | Length 4–5.5 m

Reformer & PGH Tube Solutions

Uni Abex manufactures large-diameter centrifugal cast reformer tubes specifically suited for DRI applications.

Designed for Real Furnace Conditions:

  • Engineered to withstand creep, thermal fatigue, flow velocity and carburization
  • Proprietary alloys Thermalloy 22H Modi and Thermalloy 64 MR developed to resist metal dusting and extend service life
  • PGH tubes designed for high thermal stability and structural reliability
  • Zero reported metallurgical failures across supplied components

Complete DRI Component Solutions

Beyond reformer and PGH tubes, Uni Abex supplies a comprehensive range of cast components for DRI plants, including:

  • Air injection tubes
  • Feed tubes
