ISO ALUSTAR
DESCRIPTION
ISO-ALUSTAR is a premium quality crucible manufactured by high pressure iso-static pressing and incorporating high levels of oxidation resistance and mechanical durability.
This product range is designed to provide superior resistance to attack by melt treatment agents typically used in aluminium alloy applications.
APPLICATIONS
ISO-ALUSTAR offers superior performance for aluminium holding and melting in electric resistance and gas furnaces, as well as melting and holding of zinc and zinc alloys.
TYPICAL METAL CASTING TEMPERATURE
Aluminium: 620 - 900°C (1148 - 1652°F)
Zinc: 450 - 550°C (842 - 1022°F)
PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
• Excellent resistance to attack by chemical treatment agents
• High mechanical strength
• Excellent resistance to oxidation
• High consistent density
• Fast melting speed through high thermal conductivity
IDENTIFICATION
ISO-ALUSTAR crucibles are finished green and utilise pattern coding with the suffix ALUS e.g. BN500ALUS
PATTERN RANGE
ISO-ALUSTAR crucibles are available in a range of shapes and sizes to suit most end user requirements. Certain sizes can be made available with pyrometer pocket configuration to facilitate accurate measurement of metal temperature. A selection of fixed pouring spouts with optimised profiles is offered where required for tilting furnace applications.
QUALITY
ISO-ALUSTAR crucibles are manufactured from premium grade raw materials under an ISO 9001:2000 quality management system.
