Abstract
A moulding for the heat retention of feeder head top surface in casting molten metals is based on a mixture consisting of charcoal and a binder, and said charcoal is laminated with directional properties in the lateral direction. If circumstances require, the moulding may contain at least one component selected from the group consisting of thermo-expansible materials, organic binders and organic fibrous materials, and further when occasion demands it may be coated with a shell containing fibrous materials and a binder.
Claims2
A thermally expandable moulding for the heat retention of feeder head top surface comprising about 3 to 15% by weight of an organic binder, about 3 to 15% by weight of organic fibrous material, and the remainder consisting of a mixture of (i) pulverized charcoal which entirely passes through 10 mm. sieve and (ii) a thermo-expansible material selected from the group consisting of vermiculite, thermo-expansible graphite and mixtures thereof, the proportion by weight between said pulverized charcoal and said thermo-expansible material is 1:0.07 - 0.20 when the particle size of the pulverized charcoal is in the range from 10 mm. to 2 mm., and the proportion is 1:0.10 - 0.40 when the particle size of the pulverized charcoal is not more than 2 mm.
