SLIP PLANE INSULATION FOR THE FOUNDRY AND STEEL INDUSTRY

Foundries produce metal castings of varying degrees of complexity. To perform effectively in the foundry and steel industry, maintaining consistent high temperatures during processing is critical. Doing this properly requires the right insulation to prevent heat loss while also protecting workers exposed to extreme heat.

 

Axim Mica’s work is closely tied to this industry, where we provide a wide range of mica laminates and ceramic fiber insulation to support foundry and steel operations. These materials are specifically engineered to withstand intense thermal conditions while improving process reliability and worker safety.

WHY MICA MATTERS IN FOUNDRY AND STEEL APPLICATIONS

Mica offers several technical advantages for high-temperature industrial applications. It extends the life of furnace linings by acting as a superior slip plane. This function allows the lining to move freely during thermal expansion and contraction, significantly reducing the chances of cracking.

 

In addition, mica helps protect coil grout and furnace castings by absorbing stress and allowing for safe, repeated movement. During the relining process, it performs a critical slip plane function that maintains furnace structure and efficiency.
