LOTEC-T is highly resistant to thermal shock, it does not
react with molten metals such as aluminum or zinc, and it does not get wet. These
properties make it useful as an industrial heat-resistant material. We also have
machinable ceramics that can be processed into a wide variety of shapes. |

- Machinable ceramics highly
resistant to corrosion -
LOTEC-T is a ceramic created from aluminum titanate crystals that AGC Ceramics have developed.
It is known that conventional aluminum titanate even when sintered, could not
achieve a reasonable strength and tends to be decomposed at high temperatures.
We have improved these weak-points of aluminum titanate and added three new characteristics:
thermal shock resistance, no reaction with molten metals, and hard to getting
wet. Making use of these characteristics, it is used in industry to create various
superior industrial materials such as those to create nonferrous metal melting
furnace. There are two types in the T-series: type TC with coarse-grained particles
having high thermal-shock resistance, and type TM (machinable ceramics) capable
of being mechanically processed into varied shapes. |
1. Low-thermal expansion
2. Low-thermal conductivity
3. High corrosion resistance with melting nonferrous metals
4. Free-cutting(type TM) |
1. Parts for melting nonferrous
metals such as molten aluminum and molten zinc (ladles, U-shaped tubes, stoke
tubes)
2. Tools (Machinable ceramics) |
