Induction furnace silica mass

Induction furnaces are latest furnaces used for melting of the metals specially the Iron. There furnaces requires the ramming mass for insulation or lining between coil and melting metals. Induction furnace silica mass is produced from the Silicon dioxide stone.  It is made of SiO2 (Silicon dioxide). Silica Ramming Mass (SiO2) is acidic in nature. Induction furnace silica mass is used in powder form for lining or ramming in induction furnace. Good quality quartzite stone is used to produce the Silica ramming mass. Very high purity quartzite stone is used to produce the Induction furnace silica mass. Quartzite stoner is broken crushed in machines, and then it is powdered. If there will be impurities in the mineral stone, then it may create problem in function of the induction furnace. Impurities in stone will produce more amount of the liquid at heavy temperature. It will be lower down the chemical and mechanical resistance property of the lining. High purity silica gives longer life to induction furnace. Material produces from high quality silica is uniform in quality and physical properties.  

Induction furnace silica mass are compact in comparison to other linings. Compactness of the Induction furnace silica mass depends on the proportion of the size of the granules in Induction furnace silica mass powder. Proportion of the size of granules is known and granulometrics. Granulometric composition should be in such way that there should be minimum vacant or open space among the particles.

An ideal granulometric composition of commercial acidic Induction furnace silica mass  is given below.

SIZE                           PERCENTAGE

4mm to 1mm                        33%

1mm to 0.20mm                  30%

0.20mm to0.06mm            17%

0.06mm & below                 20%

Proportion of the finest material is very important, as it takes part in the sintering reaction in furnance. If the fine particles are more than recommended percentage then  it may lead to adverse effect of on performance of ramming layer.

Special attention should be paid towards the proportion of fine size; it should be within defined range. There is adverse effect on the service behavior of lining if fine particles present in more quantity than required. Since the finest particles mainly takes part in the sintering reaction.

Induction furnace silica mass is available for sale. We are leading producer and exporter of Induction furnace silica mass from India. Induction furnace silica mass  can safely be used up to an operating temperature of 1600°C it expands very little so it is superior to both alumina and magnesia to resist thermal shocks. Secondly its cost is very low in comparison to alumina and magnesia.
