The Coreless Induction Furnace is considered by many to be the most versatile melting unit available for the foundry industry. The demands placed on the refractory lining vary and are often very complex, bringing very different sets of circumstances that can affect the performance of the refractory lining, including:

 

• High Thermal Shock
• Lining Wear (corrosion and erosion)
• Metal Static Pressures
• Mechanical Stress
• Gas Penetration
• Slag Build Up

 In the CIF segment, we have more then 50 years of successful partnerships in the foundry industry worldwide. We offer a full set of monolithic linings covering all refractories for the complete furnace (hot face lining, cast blocks, coil grouts, covers, spouts, mica slip planes, etc). We offer a unique naturally formed micro-crystalline silica-based Dry Vibratable Mix from our own 100% controlled Swedish quarry in Åmål. This raw material uniquely gives slow in line crystal transformation, in turn giving excellent thermal stability, uniform hardness and high refractoriness and has long been considered to be the benchmark lining for CIF. All products manufactured with the Åmål material are sold under the name the SILICA MIX brand name.
