Wholesale  Alumina ceramic foam filter for Steel Casting Industry Suppliers, Quotes

Foam ceramic is a kind of porous ceramic similar to foam in shape, and it is the third generation of porous ceramic products developed after ordinary porous ceramics and honeycomb porous ceramics. This high-tech ceramic has three-dimensional connected pores, and its shape, pore size, permeability, surface area and chemical properties can be adjusted appropriately, and the products are like "toughened foam" or "porcelain sponge". As a new type of inorganic non-metallic filter material, foam ceramic has the advantages of light weight, high strength, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, simple regeneration, long service life and good filtration and adsorption.

Product Description

Product Introduction

By virtue of its interconnected three-dimensional structure, the foam ceramic filter fully embodies its four essential filtration mechanisms: rectification, mechanical screening, "filter cake," and adsorption when filtering molten metal.

The filter material features high chemical stability and remains unreactive with alloy liquids. This effectively removes and minimizes inclusions within the molten metal to significantly increase purity. Castings produced with this filter display smooth surfaces, enhanced mechanical strength, lower scrap rates, and reduced machining allowances—ultimately leading to minimized energy consumption, elevated labor productivity, and lower production costs.

4-Step Filtration

Rectification, mechanical screening, filter cake buildup, and physical adsorption.

High Chemical Stability

Zero chemical reactivity with alloy liquids, preserving metal integrity.

Cost & Yield Efficiency

Reduces casting scrap rates, optimizes machining allowance, and cuts total energy costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the main filtration mechanisms of this foam ceramic filter?
Due to its interconnected 3D cellular structure, the filter utilizes four distinct mechanisms during filtration: rectification, mechanical screening, "filter cake" formation, and deep-bed adsorption to isolate impurities.
What is the maximum operating temperature for the alumina filter?
The alumina (Al2O3) ceramic foam filter is engineered to perform reliably at working temperatures up to and including ≤ 1200°C.
Will the ceramic material react chemically with molten alloys?
No. The alumina ceramic material provides superior chemical stability and will not react with molten alloy liquids, maintaining complete metallurgical purity.
What standard sizes and shapes are supported?
The filters are supplied in Round configurations (Φ 30 - 500 mm) and Square configurations (30 - 500 mm), with customizable thicknesses ranging from 5 mm to 50 mm.
What pore sizes (PPI) are available?
The pore density ranges from 10 to 90 PPI (pores per linear inch), which translates to an open pore diameter size of approximately 0.1 mm to 15 mm.
What are the typical industrial and commercial applications?
Beyond non-ferrous foundry usage (copper and aluminum alloy casting), it is widely utilized in electronic cigarette filters, air feeder purifiers, range hood grease extraction, smoke filtration units, and aquarium filtration systems.
