Application
- Investment Casting: Used as a mold shell material, Molochite ensures smooth surface finishes and provides excellent thermal shock resistance for casting metals like steel, nickel, titanium, aluminum, and superalloys.
- Ceramic Manufacturing: Enhances the mechanical properties of fired clay and is used in the production of kiln linings and fireclay bricks, improving their durability and heat resistance.
- Foundry Applications: Improves the quality of sand molds and cores in metal casting by offering high heat resistance and strength.
- Refractory and High-Temperature Applications: Ideal for refractory linings and heat treatment equipment, Molochite withstands extreme temperatures, ensuring the longevity of industrial equipment.
- Glass Manufacturing: Serves as a key refractory material in furnace linings, helping to maintain structural integrity under high-heat conditions.
- Steel and Foundry Industries: Incorporated into refractory bricks and monolithic linings, Molochite supports the high-temperature demands of metal processing and casting.
Molochite Powder- UK Mineral Supplier
- Primarily used in the production of refractory bricks and materials because of its ability to withstand high temperatures and thermal shock.
- It has a high melting point (about 1,800°C), making it ideal for use in steel and iron manufacturing - lining for furnaces, kilns, steel mills, and other high-temperature industrial processes
- Used as a raw material in ceramics , glass industries and as an advanced material in aerospace engineering
- Due to high resistance to wear and high temperatures also makes it useful in the foundry industry, where it is used as a mold material, especially in the casting of metals that require high heat resistance.
