Gas Fired Heater Sheath
Morgan Advanced Materials' Molten Metal Systems business has developed a heater sheath and gas diverter system using advanced bonding technology for use in zinc melting and holding processes.

Our heater sheath is manufactured using a high pressure isostatic press to form the carbon bonded silicon carbide material into a consistent high quality product. The sheath is then further treated to give a very high resistance to oxidation and extended service life. The properties obtained provide zinc melters and galvanizers, using gas fired immersion heater furnaces, with a cost effective consumable which reduces maintenance and downtime.
