Chemical Applications Division ALUTIT Aluminum Titanate – advanced ceramics for the nonferrous molten metal industry

ALUTIT – the ultimate in thermal resistance On the one hand, you have aggressive melts, thermal loads in excess of 1.000 °C, and temperature gradients of several hundred degrees. One the other, there is the need for maxi- • Excellent thermal shock behavior mum process reliability, plant availability, energy efficiency, and • Good corrosion resistance melt purity. The result is a requirement profile that is more than • Outstanding temperature resistance a match for conventional materials. • No or little wetting by most molten metals To reconcile these demands, we have developed ALUTIT – This combination...

ALUTIT S or ALUTIT T Superior strength or thermal shock stability If you are not sure which material will give optimum results in your specific process environment, ask us for advice. ALUTIT is available in two types, designed for different requirement profiles: • ALUTIT S is optimized for strength and is used mainly in riser tubes. • ALUTIT T offers unsurpassed thermal shock resistance and is used primarily in components subject to high thermal loads, e.g., as hot top rings, break rings, and nozzles. ALUTIT S strength optimized ALUTIT T thermal shock optimized Average pore radius Bending strength...

ALUTIT – prime performance for the molten metal industry Compelling benefits Cast iron is less costly, to be sure – at least at the purchas­ng i stage. But with its specific range of performance characteristics, ALUTIT offers a number of convincing benefits. It is the sum of these application advantages that tips the scales in its favor: • Due to their outstanding thermal shock resistance, ALUTIT components can be directly exposed to the molten metal – without any preheating. • The anti-wetting properties of ALUTIT prevent metal adhesion, simplify cleaning, and extend operating periods between...

ALUTIT for high versatility ALUTIT plus our experience – a successful combination The potential of ALUTIT is not limited to the manufacture Our application engineers are experts in all matters related of riser tubes or nozzles for use in low pressure aluminum die- to the use of ceramic components in the molten metal indu- casting. Its versatility makes it suitable for all nonferrous mol- stry. Please do not hesitate to draw on their support to exploit ten metal handling, conveying, and proportioning processes. fully the benefits of ALUTIT.
