Ever increasing fuel costs are in turn increasing the operating costs for crucible furnace operators. In addition to high fuel costs, crucible maintenance and replacement expenses contribute to expenditure, reducing profitability. EMISSHIELD high emiisivity coatings are a potential solution.
A trial was conducted with two identical tempering furnces. One had an Emisshield ST-1 high emissivity coating applied. This furnace showed a much faster heat and cool down, indicating that the coating has significantly improved its efficiency.
Emisshield is a high emissivity ceramic coatings that can be applied in refarctory applications. This application note descibes how it has been used to stainless steel ladles in aluminium production and how it has reduced maintenanceand increase lifespan of the ladles.
Thin film and multilayered materials having thicknesses on the nano to microscale are critical components for numerous technologies. Substrates on which these materials are fabricated can range in size from...

Emisshield is a high emissivity ceramic coating material. When used in the roof of an electric arc furnce it was found to reduce the presence of hot spots and increased the lifespan of the roof section and increased the period between rebuilds, decreasing maintenance costs.
Emisshield is a high emissivity ceramic material. When applied to the afterburner of a ceramics manufacturing operation, the coating reduced fuel consumption by 23% due tot he performance gains brought about by the use of the Emisshield coating.
ANH Refractories manufactures a complete line of refractories for use in copper production. These include a range of brick and castable formulations that can withstand high temperatures and the adverse effects of slag. Provided herein is a refractory selection guide for copper producers.
Secondary aluminium smelting differs from primary smelting in that it uses recycled aluminium from scrap, rather than refining it from ore. This article provides a selection guide for refractories for secondary aluminium manufacturers.
