Carbon Bonded

An innovative filter material for temperature sensitive steel casting

Advantages of the unique carbon bonded alumina filter:

- Designed for use with temperature sensitive alloys

- Its lower thermal mass due to a more open pore structure results in better priming than its zirconium oxide cousin with critical alloys.

- Enhanced priming allows for reduced tap temperatures resulting in lower energy costs, refractory wear, and fewer burn-in defects in castings

Standard-Sizes and Packaging:

Carbon Bonded Filters are available:

• Squares and Rounds sizes up to 10"

• PPI (pores per inch) ranges from 10 ppi to 30 ppi

• Also available with Hi-Tech Ceramics' patented High Capacity Filter Design

Capacities:

Metal fluidity, method of deoxidation and the pouring temperatures are the main variables affecting metal flow through filters.

Carbon bonded filters offer the traditional features of a reticulated foam filter including:

- Capture of non-metallic inclusions

- Flow modification for a less turbulent mold fill

- Finer pore sizes are available when high filtration efficiency is desired
