Components from Schunk Technical Ceramics are available in various ceramic material grades and score high on temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance, and low wettability by numerous metals. Technical ceramics in metallurgy - Ceramic solutions in metallurgy prove their worth through maximum product reliability, temperature stability, thermal shock resistance, dimensional accuracy, cost-effectiveness and short delivery times. The high-performance ceramic zirconium oxide is used for melting precious metals. Alumina slot tubes are used for injecting inert gas into molten steel. NSiC and Al2O3 crucibles are the most suitable for powder calcination. The greatest protection of heating coils in aluminum holding furnaces is provided by the mullitic SiC protection tubes.
