| Abstract Scope |
Metal temperature management is a key challenge for aluminum casting. Molten metal loses significant heat during transit from the furnace to the casting machine. This causes three problems: (1) the initial metal is cold at the start of a cast, (2) the temperature fluctuates from the beginning to the end of a cast, and (3) the temperature fluctuates from one cast to another cast. Wagstaff heated refractory addresses these three problems. It is designed to control temperature of the molten metal during transit. This presentation will explain how the system works and what it has achieved including benefits to the operation. |
