INGOT CASTING
ISO EX 26
Exothermic covering agent for ingot casting
Description
ISO EX 26 is an insulating covering powder with exothermic effect, used for head treatment in ingot casting.
Main Ingredients: Al, Al2O3
Bulk density: 1.3 kg / dm3
Ignition temperature: > 300 ° C
Application
After the mold is filled with liquid steel, the ingot head treatment begins. In this process ISO EX 26 is usually applied in a specific quantity of approx. 4 kg/t steel. For steel grades susceptible to shrinkage, ISO EX 26 is applied in combination with THERMO D3 - a highly exothermic powder - and applied as a second, insulating layer.
Effect
The product has an exothermic and subsequently insulating effect. The delayed solidification in the ingot head basically results in the following advantages:
-
Reduction of blowholes
-
Increase in yield
-
Increase in process reliability
