Aluminum Titanate(LOTEC™-T)
- Excellent Resistance to Wetting by Molten Metals
- Machinable Ceramics
Aluminum titanate is a material that is resistant to thermal shock and does not easily get wet with molten metals such as aluminum and zinc. Our proprietary LOTEC™-T overcomes the problems of aluminum titanate, which is unstable at high temperatures and has low strength. It is widely used in non-ferrous metal melting furnaces and other applications. In addition, we offer the TC type with excellent thermal shock resistance and the TM type with excellent machinability.
Features
01. Heat-resistant material resistant to thermal shock
Because of its high thermal shock resistance and high high-temperature strength, it is used in non-ferrous metal melting furnaces and other applications.
02. High quality achieved by proprietary technology
Conventional aluminum titanate is a material that has low strength and is prone to decomposition at high temperatures, but this has been overcome by proprietary material design.
