 Refractory Materials of Foseco for Aluminium Foundries |
At the EUROGUSS 2012 from January 17th to 19th 2012 Foseco will be showing new processes and products for optimized process controlled melt treatment and melt monitoring.
FDU rotary degassing is an important step in aluminium melt treatment. The Non Ferrous metal treatment area will feature the latest generation of Foseco FDU and MTS equipment - state of the art technology for the automated treatment of Aluminium melts. Enhancements include a new, internet based degassing simulation software tool to analyse and improve the degassing process in foundries. A new generation of ALSPEK H electrochemical hydrogen sensors combine fast and accurate hydrogen measurements in liquid aluminium with a robust design. In addition to the existing read out units, Foseco will show the ALSPEK Mini, a handheld unit for very fast spot measurements in advanced applications.
Foseco offer now a complete range of silicon carbide and clay graphite crucibles, retorts and other specialised shapes for use in fuel fired, induction and electric resistance furnaces. The Non Ferrous metal transfer area will feature the ENERTEK Crucible and will highlight the energy saving potential of this new product. Simulated electricity meters will run throughout the exhibition comparing the energy consumption of ENERTEK with a typical competitive crucible showing how energy savings quickly accumulate over time. The effect that these savings can have on carbon dioxide emissions is also highlighted.
 MTS - Metal Treatment Station of Foseco |
The use of dosing furnaces is increasing in aluminium foundries for improved energy efficiency and controlled dosage weight. Foseco will exhibit a dosing furnace lining manufactured in INSURAL. This one piece lining, which is supplied ready for immediate installation, offers excellent insulation and its non-wetting nature ensures that a high level of melt cleanliness is maintained. In addition, the lining exhibit will also include INSURAL one-piece dosing tubes for excellent cleanliness; INSURAL and clay graphite lower filling cones; ISOPRIME radiant heater protection tubes that extend the life of heating elements; EKATHERM thermocouple protection sheaths and ZYAROCK shot launders that ensures constant pouring temperatures and avoids oxide formation. INSURAL pouring basins for tilt pouring applications will also be highlighted. These basins have a number of advantages - extended refractory life, reduced reject rate and lower metal loss due the avoidance of oxide formation.
