Heraeus Electro-Nite Co#126Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Heraeus Electro-Nite Co., the world’s largest de-veloper and producer of sensors for the moltenmetal industry, will be exhibiting several sensorsfor the primary aluminum smelter.

The Cry-O-Therm™ “Superheat” sensor hasbeen developed to provide the potline with analmost instantaneous reading of the bath andliquidus temperatures. It is being shown that di-

H


rect measurements of the liquidus temperaturein industrial cells by the Cry-O-Therm probe isclearly advantageous compared to the alterna-tive methods for determining the liquidus tempera-ture.

The Positherm-AL® Type “S” disposable thermo-couple and DT-280 digital temperature measur-ing system provide the potroom operator with afaster, more accurate, and more reliable tempera-ture of the cryolite bath. The companiondatalogger allows the operator to store the infor-mation collected over the course of the day anddownload it directly into the computer at the endof his shift.

Stop by the HEN booth to learn more about oursensors for the primary aluminum smelter.

Stellar Materials Inc#906Northville, Michigan

Thermbond is a unique refractory technology withfeatures and benefits unavailable in traditional re-fractories. Thermbond is completely and naturallynon-wetting to aluminum. Thermbond bonds per-manently to other refractories so existing liningsmay be veneered andrepaired rather than re-placed.

Thermbond may be cast, troweled, gunned, hot-gunned, pumped, or rammed for permanent re-pairs or new installations.

ZYP Coatings Inc#942http://www.zypcoatings.comOak Ridge, Tennessee

ZYP® Coatings, Inc. is the premier manufacturerof paintable boron nitride coatings. For alumi-num billet producers (Wagstaff casters), threeboron nitride paints are presented

■ BLUE-COLORED Tableguard■ Transition Plate Coating (TPC)■ Ring-Seal.

Tableguard greatly extends casting-table refrac-tory life, while giving inclusion-free pours, stop-ping dross buildup, and allowing easy removal ofany mispours. Both water-based and solvent-based Transition Plate Coating (TPC)products areavailable for this application. Ring-Seal is a to-tally nonwetting, seal for transition-plate/graph-ite-ring joins.

ZYP Coatings provides true, total nonwettingboron nitride paints for all areas of processingmolten nonferrous metals. Boron Nitride Lubricoat(WHITE or BLUE-COLORED) is ideal for extend-ing the life of refractory troughs, launders, run-ners — while providing smooth flowing action.Boron Nitride Releasecoat (WHITE or BLUE-COLORED) gives Teflon®-like mold release andmirror-like (cosmetic) surface finishes for low-draft, high-drag areas in permanent molds. Bo-ron Nitride Hardcoat is ideal for ladles, skimmers,and areas needing some abrasion-resistance.
