In part 1, (Oct. 2016) we covered classification of high-temperature insulation wool, and we will now discuss the application of same.

High-temperature insulating wool (HTIW) products boast significant advantages compared to traditional refractory products on investment cost, operating expenses, reliability, overall efficiency and the fast availability of the equipment following relining or maintenance and repair work.

Type NAB and Type NMB are needled blankets made from shot-free high-purity alumina fiber.

No. 886 is a dual-chamber electric bench furnace that can be used for a variety of heat-treating applications.

In any manufacturing process involving a kiln or furnace, the need for consistency is key to ensuring right-first-time components, whether this applies to processing temperatures, atmospheric content or the overall firing process.

Ceramabond 571 is a water-based, two-part, fast-set magnesium-oxide-filled ceramic adhesive ideal for assembling and insulating ceramic and metal components used in high-temperature devices up to 3200°F (1760°C).

Selecting products made with the right manufacturing process makes the difference. Engineering design and the lining materials chosen are key factors in controlling the efficiency and energy usage of equipment used in iron and steel applications.
