Refractory Shapes.Industrial Ceramic Products has introduced Fusil fu·sil n. A light flintlock musket. [French, steel in a flintlock, firearm, from Old French fuisil, steel for a tinderbox, from Vulgar Latin 2000, a hybrid material that can be used to manufacture refractory refractory Material that is not deformed or damaged by high temperatures, used to make crucibles, incinerators, insulation, and furnaces, particularly metallurgical furnaces. shapes utilizing traditional forming processes. The proprietary material, which exhibits no thermal expansion thermal expansion Increase in volume of a material as its temperature is increased, usually expressed as a fractional change in dimensions per unit temperature change. , can be compression-molded or extruded, facilitating high production rates and reducing delivery cycle times. Typical foundry applications include crucible crucible, vessel in which a substance is heated to a high temperature, as for fusing or calcining. The necessary properties of a crucible are that it maintain its mechanical strength and rigidity at high temperatures and that it not react in an undesirable way with liners, crucibles, pouring cups, rods, rings, melt-out plugs, ladles, cover plates, mold supports and custom plates. In addition, the firm's ceramic tubes are white and free of iron sulfide. Compositions are available for special applications, and tubes can be manufactured from mullite, fireclay or fused silica fused silica n. See quartz glass. . Fractional length or tubes longer than 12 in. can be produced on request. The tubes are non-eroding and ensure smooth, slag-free passage of metal to mold cavity without contamination or reaction with metal, Ceramic tubes are available in a range of sizes, including standard plain end, mitered and male-female ends.--Industrial Ceramic Products, Inc. |
