The aluminium industry is one of the most demanding industries, requiring materials that can withstand high temperatures, wear, and corrosion. Sialon ceramics are a family of advanced ceramics that possess excellent properties making it ideal for use in the aluminium industry.
“The shift from primary synthesis (ore reduction) to secondary synthesis (scrap melting) requires to gain better understanding of how multiple scrap-related contaminant elements act on aluminium alloys and how future alloys can be designed upfront to become scrap-compatible and composition-tolerant.”
Thermocouples are widely used in various industrial applications for temperature measurement. Among the different types of thermocouples, type K thermocouples are one of the most commonly used. In this article, we will discuss how type K thermocouples are made, their properties, and their usage in the non-ferrous industry.
This case study investigates the use of High Shear Melt Conditioning (HSMC) technology to increase degassing effectiveness and enhance the mechanical qualities of castings made of the A356 aluminum alloy (Lazaro-Nebreda et Al, 2021).
Cast iron thermocouple protection tubes with ceramic enamel coating are a popular choice for foundries due to their exceptional mechanical strength and resistance to high temperatures. These tubes are typically used in aluminium and zinc melting furnaces.
