With the continuous improvement of aluminum alloy casting technology, the quality of aluminum alloy products has also been continuously improved. Among them, coatings play a crucial role. They form a protective layer on the surface of casting tools, improving the corrosion resistance of casting tools, reducing or even avoiding contact between the alloy liquid and the casting tools, thereby effectively avoiding the corrosion of the casting tools by the alloy liquid and the contamination of the alloy liquid by the casting tools, improving the quality of castings, and ensuring the performance of the aluminum alloy.

  As aluminum alloy casting technology continues to improve, the quality of aluminum alloy products is also constantly improving. Coatings play a crucial role, forming a protective layer on the surface of casting tools, improving the corrosion resistance of the casting tools, reducing or even avoiding contact between the alloy liquid and the casting tools, thus effectively avoiding the corrosion of the casting tools by the alloy liquid and the contamination of the alloy liquid by the casting tools, improving the quality of castings, and ensuring the performance of the aluminum alloy.

  Application of Boron Nitride Coating

  1. Boron nitride coating is an inert inorganic high-temperature lubricating material. It is non-sticky and does not penetrate into molten metal liquid. It can completely protect the surface of refractory materials or ceramic containers that are in direct contact with molten aluminum, magnesium, zinc alloys and slag, playing a role in high-temperature resistance, anti-adhesion, and anti-oxidation, thereby improving casting efficiency, reducing the defect rate, and extending the service life of the mold. In addition, boron nitride coating can also be used in the smelting and casting process of aluminum alloys to protect the metal surface and prevent oxidation and corrosion, while also improving the wear resistance and fatigue resistance of the aluminum alloy.

  2. Boron nitride coatings are widely applied to the surfaces of casting runners, distribution runners, transfer plates, sleeves, degassing equipment linings, filter boxes, casting nozzles, slag spreaders, and ladles, protecting molds, resisting corrosion and extending the service life of refractory materials. At the same time, during production, it prevents fine impurities from penetrating into the aluminum liquid, causing secondary pollution, and greatly improving product quality.

  3. It is the preferred choice for customers with higher melting and casting requirements or higher requirements for cast products, and it is a necessary product for the production of military-grade products.

Based on the innovation in the high temperature industry technology field, we constantly explore to solve the needs of high-end high temperature resistant materials and their application fields.

High-temperature ceramic materials for precision casting

Precision casting is a general term for processes that obtain castings with precise dimensions. Compared to traditional sand casting, precision casting produces castings with more precise dimensions and better surface finish. It includes: investment casting, ceramic mold casting, metal mold casting, pressure casting, and lost-wax casting. Ceramic materials involved in precision casting mainly include: ceramic filters, ceramic crucibles, and ceramic pouring cups.

Molten rock foam ceramic filter

In the metal smelting process, inclusions originate from various sources, including surface oxide films, eroded refractory materials from the furnace, and insoluble impurities such as carbides.

Vertical direct-chill flat-rolled casting solution

The vertical direct-chill casting process for flat billets involves various consumables. For a long time, Rongshi Technology has been providing such consumables to flat billet manufacturers, and all consumables use suitable materials. Rongshi can also provide customers with complete solutions for aluminum liquid conveying, filtration, and safe production.
