NSiC Riser Tube

Nitride Bonded Silicon Carbide (NSiC) riser tubes are essential components in low-pressure aluminum casting systems. Known for their exceptional thermal performance, mechanical strength, and resistance to molten metal corrosion, NSiC riser tubes ensure reliable operation in demanding foundry environments.

Key Features:

  • Excellent thermal shock resistance
    Withstands rapid temperature changes during casting operations.
  • High mechanical strength at high temperatures
    Maintains structural integrity under pressure and heat.
  • Outstanding corrosion and oxidation resistance
    Resists chemical attack from molten aluminum and flux.
  • Long service life
    Reduces maintenance and downtime, offering better cost-efficiency.
  • Smooth inner surface
    Promotes stable metal flow and minimizes turbulence.

Applications:

  •  Low-pressure die casting (LPDC)
  • Used to transfer molten aluminum from the furnace to the mold.
  •  Aluminum alloy wheel casting
  • Automotive part production
  • Aerospace and precision aluminum component manufacturing
  • Metal industry AL, Zn, Cu, Pb, Sn…
