Non-Ferrous Molten Metal Handling

Syalon 101 molten metal handling productsThe exceptional heat and corrosion resistant properties of sialon have been utilised in a range of products for non-ferrous molten metal handling. These include thermocouple protection sheaths, heater and riser tubes, ladles and other foundry products.

Syalon 101 has excellent thermal shock resistance as a result of its high strength, toughness and thermal conductivity. It is extremely resistant to corrosion by most non-ferrous metals, particularly aluminium. There is therefore no contamination of the melt. In addition, Syalon 101 is non-wetting for most non-ferrous metals, making it very resistant to build up of dross and therefore very low maintenance.

These unique properties give Syalon a significantly better service life over conventional products such as chill cast iron and other ceramic materials.

  • Thermocouple Sheaths

    Syalon 101 thermcocouple protection sheaths are becoming the industry standard in non-ferrous metal foundries. They possess outstanding thermal shock resistance, are non-wetting and suffer no degradation in contact with aluminium and it's alloys.

  • Heater & Riser Tubes

    The benefits of Syalon 101 for thermcouple sheaths applies equally to heater and riser tubes. International Syalons manufacture a wide array of heater and riser tubes to suit most requirments in the non-ferrous molten metal foundry business.

  • Ladles

    International Syalons manufacture a range of standard ladles, which offer excellent thermal shock and corosion resistance, which minimises contamination of the melt. Ladles can also be made to your own design.

  • Hooks
