Symposium Aluminum Cast Shop Supplier Forum
Presentation Title Refractory Solutions for Secondary Aluminum Melting Processes
Author(s) Arold van der Van Der Heijden
On-Site Speaker (Planned)
Abstract Scope The continuous advancement of aluminium alloys—driven by rising demand across diverse industrial sectors—has introduced increasingly complex melting processes and elevated performance expectations for furnace operations. Leveraging decades of experience as a refractory solutions provider, RHI Magnesita has gained deep insights into the interplay between aluminium processing parameters and refractory wear mechanisms. To ensure the delivery of safe, reliable, and future-ready refractory solutions, RHI Magnesita has developed a comprehensive technical questionnaire designed to capture detailed specifications and operational data from aluminium furnaces. This structured approach enables the design of tailored refractory concepts by systematically collecting information on furnace geometry, process conditions, alloy types, and maintenance history. In this presentation, we illustrate how this data-driven methodology enhances furnace longevity, boosts operational efficiency, and strengthens resistance to thermal, mechanical, and chemical stresses—ultimately supporting our customers in achieving more robust and cost-effective aluminium production.
