Application of Zirconia Ceramic Form
Steel Casting
Zirconia Filters for Steel Casting are specifically designed for filtering molten carbon steel, stainless steel, alloy steel, and tool steel, helping improve casting quality by removing inclusions and impurities.
Foundry Applications
Foundry Zirconia Foam Filters improve molten metal cleanliness, minimise turbulence during mould filling, and reduce casting defects such as inclusions, blowholes, and shrinkage-related issues.
High-Temperature Alloy Casting
Suitable for nickel-based, cobalt-based, and other high-temperature superalloys requiring filtration under extreme thermal conditions.
Precision Investment Casting
Provides superior filtration for precision casting applications where high-quality surface finish and structural integrity are critical.
Automotive & Heavy Engineering
Used in the production of automotive components, industrial machinery, pumps, valves, mining equipment, and heavy engineering castings.
