NANOTECHNOLOGY BREAKTHROUGH OPTIMISES CASTING PROCESS

With Nanotechnology it is possible to create a ceramic coat by using process given temperatures. A suspension containing nanoscalic particles, sprayed thinly on the substrate, sinters to a robust and heat resistant ceramic by 300-400 degrees C (600 - 750 degrees F). It is not required to sinter the coat in a pre heating process. Sintering while melt contact leads to the expected result. So the robustness of a ceramic applies to moulds launders and dies. This can be achieved by simple maintenance operation on the shop floor. High service time provided by a very thin coat avoids coat build-up and leads to process stability.
