Casting system
The ingot casting system is an integral part of the siphon‑casting line for steel, consists of a series of ceramic components that enable the precise distribution of molten metal into the molds. These components operate at very high temperatures (often above 1600 °C) and are subjected to rapid changes in flow and pressure.
The refractory materials used in the funnel assembly must resist intense thermal loads, sudden heating and cooling cycles, and chemical corrosion from the aggressive environment of molten metal. The contact surface between the liquid metal and the ceramic parts is critical: it must not release contaminants (inclusions) and must allow for easy separation from the metal once casting is complete.
A precise match of material solutions to the process conditions—especially the type of steel being cast—ensures optimal technological parameters and guarantees high casting quality.
Product lines for fireclay casting routes
The product lines have been developed to ensure increased resistance to sudden temperature changes (thermal shock). They are particularly suitable for use in foundries, steelworks, and non-ferrous metallurgy.
