Casting powder is utilized in continuous casting techniques to lubricate the mold, reduce friction, and facilitate clean casting of metallic and different metals.

Areas of Applications:

• Continuous casting of metallic, aluminium, and other non-ferrous metals.

Composition:

Casting powder includes calcium oxide (CaO), silica (SiO₂), and magnesium oxide (MgO). Each component is selected to improve mold lubrication and beautify casting excellent.

Operational Mechanism:

The powder forms a lubricating slag layer between the molten metallic and the mold. This reduces friction, which prevents defects like floor cracking and mold wear, making sure a smoother casting manner.

Benefits:

• Reduces mold wear:Enhances mold longevity by using minimizing direct touch among the mold and molten steel.
• Improves casting surface quality: Prevents metal oxidation, ensuring easy and faultless surfaces.
• Increases casting speed: Optimizes steel flow by making sure it moves quicker and more smoothly, enhancing manner performance and consistency. This improves normal manufacturing first-class and decreases capability interruptions for the duration of metal casting operations.
• Challenges & EPL’s Resolutions:Excessive slag buildup can disrupt the casting procedure. Our specialized powders are engineered to decrease slag formation, making sure optimized casting speed, enhanced method efficiency, and advanced product best.

Testing Standards:

Casting powder is cautiously examined for constant waft, premier slag composition, and compatibility with diverse metals to guarantee reliable and effective overall performance for the duration of the casting process.
