Reaction Sintered Aluminium Titanate

Carborundum Universal Limited - Industrial Ceramics Division - offers Reaction Sintered Aluminium Titanate - Cumithermâ„¢. This is ideally suited for non-ferrous cast-houses and foundries due to its extraordinary properties of high thermal shock resistance, low thermal conductivity and non-wettability to most non-ferrous m lten metal. These properties are achieved by combining high purity Alumina and Titania in a precision controlled reaction-sintered process to engineer a micro-porous microstructure. Most Cumitherm products are manufactured by ISO-Static pressing. Applications: feeders/risers/stalk for low pressure die casting; dosing tubes; sprue/gate bushes, cups and connectors; casting spouts, flow rods, retainer rings; nozzles, crucibles; tap-hole plugs and rings; and customised special components.
