EXCEL and HIMELT are high quality carbon-bonded silicon carbide crucibles manufactured using the latest roller-forming techniques and are designed to cater for a range of non-ferrous melting applications.
EXCEL: Intended for aluminium melting in oil-fired furnaces, melting copper-based alloys in gas and oil-fired furnaces, melting precious metals and non-ferrous alloys in low to medium frequency induction furnaces.
HIMELT: Provides enhanced performance in those applications where more arduous service conditions exist.
Typical metal casting temperature
EXCEL: 850—1250ºC (1562—2280ºF)
HIMELT: 1000—1400ºC (1830—2550ºF)
Performance characteristics:
EXCEL and HIMELT crucibles are available in a comprehensive range of shapes and sizes to suit most end user requirements.
Custom sizes can be supplied by special request. Heavy wall (HW) versions can be supplied for increased life in arduous applications and a selection of fixed pouring spouts with optimised profiles is offered where required.
EXCEL and HIMELT crucibles can be supplied with Morganite’s unique PD coating system, which can assist with metal cleanliness and prevention of dross adhesion.
