Thin-Wall Composite, Auto-Pour Ladle Improves High-Pressure Diecasting
RFM Auto-Pour Ladles are constructed from light-density refractory-composite material using a lamination process to produce ladles that are both tough and tolerant to mild mechanical abuse. The RFM material is hard wearing and has better insulating characteristics compared to other materials used in this application. With a material density of 1,600 kg/m3 it offers an exceptional strength-to-density ratio and, with a factory-prepared finish of boron nitride, offers outstanding non-wetting characteristics.
