USING STAINLESS STEEL AT HIGHTEMPERATURESThe resistance to
oxidation of stainless steeldepends largely on the chromium
content. Twoother alloying elements, nickel and silicon, canalso be
instrumental in enhancing the oxidationresistance of the steels.
Nickel in the alloyminimises oxide spalling. Silicon
increasesoxidation resistance by improving thecompaction of the
scale formed and therebyallows the steel to be used at higher
operatingtemperatures. Corrosion in air or steam occursrelatively
slowly due to the formation of acompact adherent chromium oxide
based scale.

MATERIAL SPECIFICATIONRefractory fixings are available in a
range ofstainless steels and higher alloys:
Grade 1.4301 (304) (18/8)The most widely used stainless steel
gradecontaining typically 18% Chromium and 8%Nickel as the main
alloying elements. Thisgrade has excellent welding properties and
iseasily formed and fabricated.
Grade 310A heat resisting steel that combines
excellentresistance to both corrosion and oxidation atelevated
temperatures. It is resistant tomoderate thermal shock and shows
highstrength at high temperatures.
Inconel Alloy 601Inconel 601 has an outstanding resistance
tocorrosion and to high temperature oxidation. Thematerial also has
good resistance to aqueouscorrosion and high mechanical
strength.
Other GradesRefractory fixings can be supplied in othergrades on
request, including Stainless Steelgrade 1.4401 (316). Please

MATERIALSAncon manufactures refractory anchors andfibre fixing
systems to exacting tolerances in awide range of stainless steel
and higher alloys.Standard fixings are available in stainless
steelgrade 1.4301 (304) and grade 1.4845 (310),and Inconel 601.
Other grades of stainlesssteel, mild steels and alloys are
available to suitrequirements, including Stainless Steel
grade1.4401 (316).
STAINLESS STEEL ATELEVATED TEMPERATURESStandard Stainless Steels
provide corrosionresistance in a number of aggressive
situations.They also provide very good oxidation andscaling
resistance at elevated temperatures.
In situations where standard steels reach theirtemperature
limits, higher alloy and speciallydesigned stainless steels provide
a combinationof increased strength and oxidation
resistance,extending the useful working range up tohigher
temperatures around 1200˚C.

REFRACTORY ANCHOR SYSTEMSAncon manufactures a wide range of
refractoryanchor fixings to suit any particular applicationfor
retaining castable and brick installations.
• Refractory Anchors• Refractory Brick Fixings• Special Fixings
and Special FabricationsManufactured from round bar or plate
section,the anchors are available in a number ofstandard shapes.
They are fixed with a threador a weld, and can be supplied with a
weldfoot. The fixings are available in the full rangeof stainless
steels and alloys, and can bemade to suit any depth of lining.
CAST-IN ANCHORS‘Y’ AnchorsThese anchors are manufactured from
5-12mmdiameter bar or from plate section. ‘Y’ anchorsmade from
round bar can be supplied open toany angle, with a plain end, weld
leg or thread.The tips can be fitted with plastic caps toenable
expansion of the tips at temperature. ‘Y’ anchors from plate
section can be suppliedopen to any angle, or supplied closed
forinstallation of pre-drilled fibreboard or otherinitial layers
prior to opening on site. Anchorscan also be supplied pre-welded to
a mild steelbase plate for ease of installation on site.
‘V’ AnchorsManufactured from bar diameter 5-12mm. Theanchor legs
can be supplied to individualrequirements with odd lengths, with
bends orcrimps, and with plastic end caps.
Crook AnchorsCrook anchors are manufactured from 5-12mmdiameter
bar. The crook is available with a spanof 75mm, 100mm or 125mm.
Crook anchorscan be supplied with a plain end, weld leg,thread or
bent to fit a pre-welded cleat.
