Ceramic Calcium Silicate for Aluminum Processing

INS-CS850 range of products are technical ceramic parts made from special high density calcium silicate with a weight of ≥ 850 kg / m³ and are suitable for direct contact with a large number of liquid noniron metals up to 1000°C. Typical fields of application are in foundries for the distribution and flow control of liquid aluminum, as well as in melting, holding and heat treatment furnaces. They are formulated without the use of asbestos fibers, and are thermally insulating, non-wetting, fracture tough materials with low shrinkage characteristics.INS-CS850 The standard product for use in aluminum casting operations and is also used in the furnace industry and other process industries. The outstanding thermal shock resistance and high dimensional stability contribute effectively to the long service life and thus to economic efficiency in the respective application area.
INS-CS850 engineered calcium silicate parts have excellent thermal shock resistance, low thermal conductivity, low thermal capacity and thermal expansion, good thermal insulation, high compressive and bending strength, good edge stability and stable in neutral and basic media.
INS-CS850 does not react with lubricants (e.g., boron nitride and graphite).
INS-CS850 is physiologically harmless.
INS-CS850 products can be easily processed (turning, milling, drilling, grinding, sawing) with appropriate tools for precise moldings.
INS-CS850 are engineered calcium silicate insulation parts for among others, aluminum casting.
Typical Applications:
> Non-ferrous metals: Floats, Dip tubes, Spouts, Distribution boxes, Heat resistant splash guards, Dams, …
> Furnaces: Hotface linings for dosing/holding furnaces for aluminium casting, Load bearing housings, Insulation where high thermal and/or mechanical load is required
> Oil & Gas: Collars, gaskets and pipe support rings, Spacers and bushes

INS-CS 850CFR A “technical ceramic” made from calcium silicate reinforced with carbon fibers.

Typical Applications:>Non-ferrous metals:Transition plates, hot top rings for billet casting,Spouts, Stoppers, Dip tubes, Nozzles, Distribution boxes, Flow gates, Header boxes, Launder Linings, Dams, Heat breaks, etc.
