AC6694 Aluminum Titanate Ceramic Nozzle

Aluminium Titanate Ceramic Nozzles Description

Aluminium Titanate Ceramic Nozzles are specialised components made from aluminium titanate (Al₂TiO₅) designed for controlling the flow of molten non-ferrous metals, particularly aluminium and its alloys, during the casting process. These nozzles provide excellent thermal shock resistance, low thermal conductivity and superior non-wettability with molten metals, thereby preventing blockages and metal adhesion. Due to their dimensional stability and resistance to chemical corrosion, they are ideally suited for high-temperature and precision applications in low-pressure and gravity casting, as well as in other foundry operations.

Applications of Aluminium Titanate Ceramic Nozzles

- Low-pressure die casting (LPDC): Direct and control the flow of molten aluminium into molds with high precision and minimal turbulence.

- Gravity casting: Regulate the flow of molten metal in gravity casting processes to ensure uniform filling and reduce defects.

- Automotive casting: Used in the production of aluminium components such as engine blocks, cylinder heads, and wheels.

- Foundry operations: Serve as flow control components in various casting systems processing non-ferrous metals.

- Filtration systems for molten metal: Integrated with filters to guide and stabilise the metal flow while reducing inclusions and air entrapment.

- Continuous casting plants: Ensure a stable metal flow in continuous or semi-continuous casting systems, providing uniformity and reducing downtime.

- High-temperature casting systems: Ideal for applications requiring precise dosing and non-reactivity with molten aluminium.
