Product Description Product LineProduct Description Product Description: Ceramic Foam Filter (CFF)Ceramic Foam Filters (CFFs) are advanced, highly porous, three-dimensional reticulated structures manufactured from specialized refractory ceramics. Designed for efficient molten metal filtration in foundry processes, they effectively remove non-metallic inclusions (such as oxides, slag, and refractory particles) from aluminum, iron, copper, zinc, and other non-ferrous and ferrous alloys during casting.By trapping impurities within their intricate open-cell network, ceramic foam filter significantly improve metal quality, leading to:*Enhanced Casting Integrity: Reduced porosity, inclusions, and defects.*Improved Mechanical Properties: Better tensile strength, ductility, and fatigue resistance.*Increased Yield & Productivity: Lower scrap rates and reduced rework.*Superior Surface Finish: Smoother final product surfaces.*Extended Tool Life: Reduced wear on downstream components (dies, molds). Their excellent thermal shock resistance, high refractoriness, and chemical inertness ensure reliable performance under demanding casting conditions. ceramic foam filter are essential components for producing high-integrity castings in automotive, aerospace, marine, and general engineering applications.

Product ParametersAlumina Ceramic Foam Filter:Aluminum Ceramic Foam Filter are mainly used for filtration of aluminium and aluminium alloys in foundries and cast houses . With their excellent thermal shock resistance and corrosion resistance from molten aluminum, they can effectively eliminate inclusions,reduce trapped gas and provide laminar flow, and then the filtered metal is significantly cleaner.Cleaner metal results in higher-quality castings, less scrap, and fewer inclusion defects, all of which contribute to bottom-line profit.Silicon Carbide Ceramic Foam Filter: SIC Ceramic Foam Filter is a kind of effective molten metal filter. It's three-dimensional connected mesh structure and high porosity has many advantages,for example, large surface area of slags collection. Large inner surface area of filtering.small flow resistance.good filtering effect.etc.SIC Ceramic Foam Filter is one of the size ,the size can be customized.Zirconia Ceramic Foam Filter:Zirconia Ceramic Foam Filter is a phosphate-free, high metling point, It is characterized by high porosity and mechanochemical stability and excellent resistance to thermal shock and corrosion from molten steel, It can effectively remove inclusions, reduce trapped gas and provide laminar flow when molten zieconia foam filtrated,it is machined to tight dimensional tolerance duringproduction, this combination of physical properties and precise tolerance make them first choice for molten steel,alloy steel, and stainless steel, etcTechnical Data:MaterialAluminaSilicon CarbideZirconiaColorWhiteGrey blackYellowPore Density8-60ppi8-60ppi8-60ppiPorosity80-90%80-90%80-90%Refractoriness≤1100oC≤1500oC≤1700oCBending Strength>0.6Mpa>0.8Mpa>1.0MpaCompression Strength>0.8Mpa>0.9Mpa>1.2MpaVolume-weight0.3-0.45g/cm30.35-0.5g/cm30.9-1.5g/cm3Thermal shock resistance6times/1100oC6times/1100oC6times/1100oCApplicationAluminium Aluminium alloys and otherNon-ferrous alloysDuctile Cast IronMalleable Cast IronGray iron and other Cast IronHigh melting point metal alloys like SteelAlloy SteelStainless Steel etc Production Workshop Product TestingKey Notes for Usage:1.ppi Selection: Critical parameter. Lower ppi (e.g., 10-20) for higher viscosity metals or larger inclusion removal (e.g., iron/steel). Higher ppi (e.g., 30-50) for lower viscosity metals or finer filtration (e.g., aluminum, aerospace alloys).2.Material Selection: Depends on the metal being cast, temperature, and required chemical resistance (e.g., Zirconia/Alumina-Zirconia for aggressive superalloys or reactive metals; Alumina for most Al/Cu alloys; SiC for higher temps in iron/steel).3.Size/Thickness Selection: Dictated by the flow rate (metal volume), gating system design, and required filtration efficiency. Thicker filters generally offer higher efficiency but slightly higher pressure drop.4.Pre-Heating: Essential before use to prevent thermal shock and potential cracking upon contact with molten metal.Product Application Packaging & ShippingCompany ProfileJiangxi Jiabing Environmental Technology Co., Ltd., established in 2015, is a high-tech enterprise specializing in the R&D, production, and export of chemical engineering packing and eco-friendly materials.
