Corrosion Inhibitors for Metallurgy | Vibrantz Technologies

Refractory

admin — Wed, 16 Nov 2022 15:56:05 +0000

Our products perform in extreme temperatures.

Serving as a thermal barrier at the metal-mold interface, refractory materials must be able to withstand physical stresses and prevent erosion in the extreme heat being used during processing. Our mineral products designed for use in the refractory industry include:

ChromeCast^® chromite sand
Olivine
Dead burned magnesite (MgO)
ZIR-Cast^® zircon sand

Olivine benefits

Olivine’s physical characteristics make it ideal for use in many high-temperature applications. Our olivine fine products are available in varying mesh sizes and excel in slag conditioning, tundish lining and refractory applications.

We supply a diverse range of high-grade MgO products for use in the production of tundish and gunning masses, protecting tundish from molten steel. Magnesite is also used as a slag conditioner to neutralize the pH of steel slag, shielding furnace linings.

Our inner electrodes optimize multilayer ceramic devices.

Coated electrodes are used to produce electric steel and manufacture non-metallic products during electric arc processing. The performance coatings’ main functions are to protect the electrode’s surface from oxidations, high conductivity and low resistivity. Vibrantz offers a broad selection of conductor pastes suitable for many applications in multilayer and ceramic chip components, as well as specialty frits for welding electrodes.

We help you safely produce the highest quality steel grades.

Vibrantz specializes in ladle and furnace sand products that optimize high free-open percentages, allowing customers to produce the best quality steel in the safest manner.

Our experts design products to meet the unique and challenging process requirements of customer operations.

Global innovation, locally delivered

We manufacture and engineer ladle and furnace sand products on a global basis for international and local steel companies.

Achieve high free-open rates with our ladle sands.

We offer an array of Sure Start^® ladle sands based on ladle size, mill conditions, hold time, temperature and other process variables. Sure Start ladle sands can be applied manually or with automatic feeding systems. Automatic feeding systems provide a reliable and effective technique to improve free open rates. Sure Start ladle sand benefits include:

High refractory deformation temperatures for applications that have longer residence time or long turnaround heats
Ideal formulations to optimize high free-open rates in applications with low residence time or short turnaround ladles
Improved free open performance in high residence time heats from robust zircon-based blends

We provide sand solutions for electric arc furnaces.

Our line of Sure Start furnace sands are engineered refractory blends that optimize free opening of the electric arc furnace (EAF) eccentric bottom tap (EBT) hole.

We offer several modifications, including off-the-shelf products specially designed for varying process parameters and customer specific formulations of these high-performance sands to help improve process efficiency and offer excellent performance rates.

Our engineered products eliminate casting defects.

Our products help customers tackle the most challenging jobs and produce high-quality castings with improved tensile strength and surface finish. Our engineered products for chemically bonded sand cores and no-bake mold production help eliminate casting defects.

We partner with customers to reduce or eliminate veining, porosity, gas and other complex casting defects caused by the thermal expansion of chemically bonded silica sand.

Vibrantz has various international manufacturing locations and offers value-added foundry consumables for steel and iron foundries.

Our products improve casting finish and process time.

Products include casting defect solutions, exothermic toppings, slag coagulants, specialty coatings, anti-veining solutions, porosity elimination, highest chill solutions and lowest thermal expansion solutions.

Vibrantz supplies water-based refractory coating blends designed to yield maximum protection at the sand or metal interface. Our products improve casting finish and process time, provide zero loss on ignition (LOI) with inorganic formulations, save on machine labor and tooling costs and are easily incorporated into customers’ sand-core blending process.

Our products designed for use in foundry applications include:

BlackCast^®
CeramCast^®
ChromeCast^®
E-Shield^®
E-Cast^®
Mastertop^®
RedCast^®
Veinseal^®
ZIR-Cast^®

We offer optimized solutions for the melt department.

Vibrantz supplies iron pyrites and slag coagulants to the melt department. Our iron pyrites are used in the foundry industry to increase sulfur content in all grades of metal and efficiently eliminate the need for foundries to source various grades of scrap metal.

Our slag coagulants are designed for grey iron, ductile iron and steel applications. They prevent slag carryover to the castings and reduce slag removal time with outstanding coagulation properties and controlled particle size. Vibrantz’s slag coagulants enable consistent performance and easy-to-apply and remove convenience to save time in your process. These products include:

PyriteMax^®
Slag-Getter^®

Our products protect every part.

Designed for closed and open die forging, extrusion and de-scaling operations, our ForgeOx^® glass lubricant products enable the preform/billet to be coated at an ambient temperature. Mainly used in critical, high-precision markets like aerospace, commercial and medical, ForgeOx provides:

Improved quality
- Surface improvement: By matching the flow of the glass to that of the metal, the glass encapsulates the part during numerous passes
- Minimized oxide layer growth
- Inhibited hydrogen pickup
Cost savings
- Less energy needed to form a part, translating to longer die life
- Reduced need for reheating due to longer heat retention
- Eliminated expensive preheating in an inert or reducing atmosphere by providing a barrier between the work piece and the atmosphere
- Easy removal of scale for alloys where oxide growth occurs rapidly prior to glass fusing
