Ideal Ceramic Components for the Molten Metal Industry to Improve Energy Efficiency and Metal Cleanliness

Innovacera manufactures ceramic components for the Molten Metal industry, including the Metal Atomization, Steel and Non-ferrous alloys production markets. Here are some highly successful components which are received our customers’ excellent feedback.

 

Atomizer Nozzles for Powder Metal Atomization:

 

Innovacera’s Boron Nitride Nozzles and Zirconia Ceramic Nozzles are processed using high-precision equipment, which ensures tight tolerance control and thorough edge cleanliness, so as to minimize clogging and metal creep, reducing the frequency of nozzle replacement. We offer a variety of materials to match different application scenarios, such as common alloys and superalloys of nickel, copper, and aluminum.

Side Dams for Thin Strip Casting:

 

The side dam is an important part of the thin strip continuous casting, whose material is one of the key bottlenecks for thin strip continuous casting. And the success of continuous casting depends on effectively controlling molten steel between rotating twin rolls, which requires the use of refractory components called side baffles. The uniformity of strip thickness and the resulting high yield depend on the refractory material’s resistance to erosion from the moving rolls and corrosion from the molten steel. Innovacera has been researching this extensively and offers grade BMZ in this application. BMZ’s addition of zirconia to boron nitride adds the desired wear resistance and high corrosion resistance at operating temperatures upwards of 1800°C.

 

Crucibles and a flow channel for molten metal:

 

BN’s ability to withstand extreme temperatures without significant deformation makes it an ideal material for molten metals that are processed at elevated temperatures. The non-wetting property of boron nitride ensures that molten metals do not adhere to the crucible walls and tube, allowing for cleaner and more efficient processing. Innovacera’s pure boron nitride and composite boron nitride use contributes to improved metal quality and reduced contamination.
