> Coatings Go Beyond Appearance to Provide Quality Control Refractory coatings help foundries to protect bonded-sand cores and molds from producing defective castings, such as products with metal...

> Gas Diffusers Improve Induction Melting For many years, gas diffusers, also known as porous plugs, have been used in ladles to allow gas purging of steel melts before pouring the...

> New-Concept Lining for Faster, Simpler Replacement in Induction Melters Faster induction furnace turnaround during system relines, and the ability to make repairs more easily to particular areas in between relines,...

> Vibration Improves Installation for Channel Furnace Inductors Installing dry vibratable refractory to optimal rammed density involves installing the material to a prescribed thickness, deairing it,...

> Research Results in Better, Longer-Lasting Refractories A two-pronged effort set out to prolong the service life riser tubes, and to improve their performance in aluminum casting.

> Refractories: Pre-Cast Product Speeds Holding Furnace Relines System eliminates water from installation process

> Pre-Cast Product Speeds Relines for Diecasters’ Holding Furnaces “… a system that will eliminate water from the installation process …”

> Considering Refractories Often overlooked, refractories are possibly the most integral part of a foundry impacting energy consumption and overall operations.

> Shaking Up the Process of Installing Refractories The process can be faster and easier, more consistent, and less expensive.

> Finding Faults When it’s time to choose a brick or refractory material, it’s critical to determine what caused the prior installation to fail. Here are several tips for understanding how ash and slag affect the insulating material.

> The Basics of Brick and Refractories for Ferrous Foundries The importance of brick and refractory materials in iron and steel foundry operations has never been more pronounced. Brick and refractory materials are used in many areas of a foundry. Without them, a foundry could not operate. This final of two articles explores refractory problem areas, and safety precautions to take when handling these materials.

Brick and refractory materials are used in many areas of a foundry. Without them, a foundry could not operate. This first of two articles explores refractory technologies, application techniques, and general use.

> New Technology in Dry Vibratable Refractories The use of dry vibratable refractories in channel furnace inductors and in coreless induction furnaces for melting and holding zinc- and aluminum-based alloys is increasing. The advantages of dry vibratables over castables and wet rams include installation ease, shorter turnaround time, and reduction of moisture-related failures. This article presents case studies in which FRDV technology was applied to improve fracture toughness and impact resistance of dry vibratable linings.
