PLUMBAGO

FOUNDRY PRODUCTS
Resulting from many years of MORGAN research and development,
Salamander Plumbago products are manufactured from the fnest
quality natural graphite and bonded with selected refractory clays.
Manufactured to the same exacting standards in our high quality
clay graphite mixes, MORGAN foundry accessories are suitable for use
with a wide range of alloys at service temperatures of up to 1600C (2912F).
Exceptional Resistance to Metal & Slag Erosion
High Refractoriness
Very High Thermal Conductivity
Non-Wetted by Molten Metal & Slag
Very High Resistance to Thermal Shock
LADLE STOPPERS
Full line of Salamander Plumbago stoppers for bottom pour ladles
available in a range of sizes and designs. MORGANITE stopper rod ends
are used by attaching to a steel rod, which is sheathed with refractory
tubes for protection from the molten metal. Will not stick to the ladle
nozzle when lifted and will consistently reseal without leaks when
closed of.
DEGASSING TUBES
Simple and convenient tool specifcally designed to meet the
requirements of refners and foundrymen for nitrogen de-gassing.
Flushing the molten metal with nitrogen is a simple and inexpensive
way to ensure that the melt is gas-free and helps ensure against gas
porosity.
SHAPED & PACKED REFRACTORIES
A range of Salamander Plumbago bricks and machined shapes,
together with graphite-based mouldables, castables, cements and
dressings for applications where high thermal conductivity is required.
LADLE BOWLS
The best method of taking molten metal samples and for skimming
slag from induction furnaces and ladles. The products are supplied
in a range of sizes from 275 cm
3
to 2000 cm
3
capacity. Designed
for obtaining samples for spectrographic analysis, test bars and
thermal analysis samples. Molten metal samples can be retrieved in
a cost efcient way, free from contamination of dirt, which is close
to temperature of the bulk metal being sampled (important for
thermal analysis).
When supplied with a drain hole, ladles are the ideal means of
removing slag and dirt from induction furnaces and casting ladles
without resorting to the excessive use of slag coagulants which can
be a source of defects in the fnal casting if they are not completely
removed from the molten metal.
TUBES
For teapot pour ladles, cupola receiver entries and spouts, cupola
slagging box syphons, etc. Available in a range of sizes from 25 mm
diameter to 254 mm diameter and lengths up to 1397 mm.
LAUNDERS
Pre-fred shapes for
the transfer of ferrous
and non-ferrous metals
from furnace to furnace
or from furnace to
ladle. Launders provide
a metal transfer system
that has a high resistance to erosion and is virtually maintenance-free
when installed properly. Available in many sizes to suit most runner
systems. Also suitable for use as spouts in teapot spout casting
ladles.
PYROMETER SHEATHS
VG and VGI: Pyrometer sheaths ofer an economical system
for measurement of liquid metal temperature, and provide
accuracy and good response. Available for both foating and fxed
installations in a range of sizes to suit most applications.
HOT ROD: The Hot Rod thermocouple sheath range ofers a premium
thermocouple protection system that provides excellent service life
and premium accuracy and response. Supplied ready for use with a
threaded steel tube for rapid attachment to the furnace Pyrometry
system. Thread type: 0.5 BSP.
TOOLS
Plunger mixers, circular dippers, dip samplers, stirrers and skimmers.
For stirring additions into molten metal. Plunger mixers are available
with or without a steel reinforcing rod for additional strength. All
plungers can be supplied with a steel reinforcing rod.
