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. |

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. |
