FOSECO Committed to Foundries

Refractory coatings products for the elimination of surface defects and superior casting finish.

Castings are manufactured in sand or permanent moulds. The molten metal which flows into these moulds is highly aggressive, and casting integrity can be adversely affected by undesired interactions with the substrate.

Refractory coatings provide a protective barrier between the molten metal and the mould or core substrate. It is this barrier that is of paramount importance in ensuring the integrity of the as-cast surface of the finished component, and hence inconsistencies within the coating structure or the application method will be reflected in the surface quality of the component.
