WOLLASTONITE FOR METALLURGY
Wollastonite in Metallurgical Applications
Wollastonite is a naturally occurring calcium meta silicate mineral with the molecular formula CaSiO3. It is unique among non-metallic industrial minerals for its combination of white colour, acicular needle-like crystal shape and alkaline pH.
Reduces nozzle blockages
Absorbs non-metallic inclusions
Works as natural low temperature flux
Absorbs alumina
Adds reinforcement and thermal shock resistance to metal casting plasters
Virtually no finishing needed for casting after mould removal
Readily fusible
Provides low viscosity resulting in higher flowability
Prevents re-oxidation
The acicular structure and alkaline chemistry of Wollastonite support its use in demanding metallurgical and casting applications.
Recommended Grade
Kemolit H-2, Kemolit H-3, Kemolit KW-2
CCMP APPLICATIONS
Continuous Casting Mold Powder Applications
Low aspect ratio Wollastonite grades are used up to 40% in Continuous Casting Mold Powder applications where controlled viscosity, insulation and fluidity are critical.
