Pyrotek Pyrocast AR Castable Refractory
Subcategory: Oxide, Silicon; Oxide
Material Notes: Pyrocast AR is a fused silica castable refractory inert to liquid aluminum and its alloys. It is a high strength material offering remarkable resistance to erosion and mechanical damage. Parts cast from Pyrocast AR are heat-treated to ensure free and combined water are removed. Pyrocast AR floats in aluminum, minimizing the potential for refractory inclusions. Applications - Hot-top table sections
- Transfer & stub troughs
- Launder linings
- Filter boxes
- Sheet ingot spouts
- Control pins
- Furnace tubes
Advantages - Dimensionally stable
- Thermal shock resistant
- Easily cleaned
- Extremely durable
- Smooth cast surface
- Preheating unnecessary
- Non-wetting
