FAQ

What is the best mix for optimized copper melting performance?

The NORVIBE™ range of products is well suited for use in the working lining of a copper-melting coreless induction furnace.

The NORVIBE™ A 122 mix is a popular and proven choice for copper melting in many international markets. It offers excellent results with low metal infiltration ensuring performance, reliability and extended furnace campaign life.

What type of product is suitable for coil protection?

The NORCOIL™ range has been designed to enhanced performance during lining installation (for example, ease of installation, setting time, and drying) and melting operations conditions (for example, furnace tilting, frequency and vibration changes). NORCOIL™ A 337, A 339 and A 340 are particularly popular with OEM and foundry customers operating coreless induction furnaces.

Which products are suitable for the side wall lining/working lining for steel melting in a coreless induction furnace?

The NORVIBE™ range of products is well suited for use in the working lining of a steel-melting coreless induction furnace.

Solutions such as NORVIBE™ A 1248 LG and NORVIBE™ A 1251 (HeatKing™) have been specifically designed to replace silica mixes in steel melting applications.

These solutions are EHS-friendly, leading to energy savings and significant increases in furnace campaign life. A range of mixes containing magnesia and spinel is also available for use with higher alloyed steels.
