Fired Shapes

Alumina
Cast, Pressed, Isoprest and Porous grades used to manufacture an extensive range of fired shapes - generally in higher temperature applications from 1350 C upwards in very specialist areas. Our Alumina grades are extensively used in a wide range of applications particularly within Vacuum Induction Melting of Superalloys & Special Steels and Vacuum & Air-Melt Investment Casting. Aluminas are also made into Kiln Furniture, Muffles & other furnace shapes and forehearth shapes for the Glass Container Ware industry...View Downloads
