CALTHERM CARBON REINFORCED CALSIL
Caltherm is a carbon-fibre reinforced calcium silicate that has been specifically designed for use in the aluminium smelting/remelting industry. Non-wetting and mechanically strong, Caltherm is highly resistant to thermal shock and exhibits low shrinkage. Caltherm is the material of choice for use as transition rings, hot-top headers, spouts, plugs and stoppers.
The material is heat-treated during the manufacturing process to reduce shrinkage in operation. The carbon fibre reinforcement provides increased strength to ensure the materials tensile and shear strength is much greater than other typical calcium silicate products.
Caltherm is an ideal material for the production of close tolerance machined shapes with high edge definition. Furthermore, its non-wetting characteristics, excellent compressive and flexural strength make it the ideal material for aluminium casting processes.
Other benefits include: - Excellent thermal shock resistance
- Non-wetting to molten metal contact
- Low shrinkage
- Maximum operating temperature 850°C
- Machinable to close tolerances
Used in: - Holding Furnace Linings
- Spouts/Dip Tubes/Stopper Pins
- Transition Rings
- Hot-Top Heads
- Launders & Launder Lids
