Introduction

Silicon nitride protection tubes offer high thermal conductivity and good thermal shock resistance. Silicon nitride protection tubes have good superior corrosion resistance in molten aluminum.

Features

  • High thermal conductivity
  • High temperature resistance
  • Good corrosion resistance (non ferrous metals)
  • Good chemical resistance
  • Good oxidation resistance
  • Very low porosity
  • Non-wetting in molten metal smelts
  • Dimensions can be customized to fit your needs

Application

Silicon Nitride protection tubes are widely used in the non-ferous molten metal industry. Thanks to the high non-wetting properities that they are highly suitable for the foundries using materials such as aluminium, gold, magnesium etc. The tubes have high resistance to corrosion, errosion and oxidation, servicing a high life-time.
