Casting Filter
Ceramic casting filters play a critical role during the casting process by providing effective filtration, removing unwanted solid particles, facilitating the homogeneous flow of molten metal, and increasing efficiency and quality. They also exhibit resistance to thermal shocks that occur during casting.
Types of Casting Filters According to Application Areas:
- Silicon carbide–based ceramic foam filters for gray and ductile iron castings
- Zirconia-based ceramic foam filters for steel castings
- Alumina-based ceramic foam filters for aluminum castings
- Magnesia-based ceramic foam filters for magnesium alloy castings
ADVANTAGES:
- Filters slag and non-metallic inclusions from molten metal
- Minimizes turbulence and ensures laminar flow
- Blocks gases entering the mold cavity, reducing sand wash
- Indirectly improves casting surface quality, reducing machining costs
- Suitable for extreme operating conditions thanks to high thermal shock resistance and heat resistance
- Increases productivity
- Cost-effective
