Metal contact and cleanliness
Materials in contact with molten aluminium must be non-wetting and stable, protecting both the lining and the quality of the metal delivered to casting.

How ZENECO supports this industry
Aluminium and non-ferrous producers need thermal materials that do more than survive heat: they must protect metal cleanliness, resist corundum growth and handle contact with molten metal. From melting and holding furnaces to launders and cast house equipment, ZENECO supplies material systems selected for the metallurgy as well as the temperature.
Industry Challenges
The problems that define thermal engineering here
Thermal efficiency of melting and holding
Well-designed lining concepts reduce energy per tonne and keep holding temperatures stable — a direct lever on cost in energy-intensive smelting and casting.
Molten metal transfer
Launders, troughs and transfer systems need insulation that holds temperature along the route while withstanding mechanical handling and thermal cycling.
Rapid repair between casts
Cast house schedules leave little room for extended repairs. Pre-shaped components and fast-installing materials keep downtime short.
