Riser Sleeves
Riser Sleeves
Riser sleeves are auxiliary materials used in casting processes to ensure the efficient operation of the feeding system during the filling of the mold with molten metal, helping to compensate for shrinkage cavities. Playing a critical role in the defect-free and high-quality production of cast parts, riser sleeves are widely preferred especially in steel, cast iron, and special alloy castings.
During casting, volumetric shrinkage occurs as the metal cools. To compensate for this shrinkage and maintain the structural integrity of the part, riser sleeves support the system with their high insulation and delayed solidificationproperties. In this way, surface defects, cracks, and internal voids in the casting are prevented.
Features of Riser Sleeves
- High heat resistance
- Insulating properties that minimize heat loss
- More controlled and delayed solidification
- Prevention of casting defects
- Lower scrap rates and higher efficiency
- Various size and shape options
Areas of Use of Riser Sleeves
