Insulating Neck Down Sleeves a smart solution for directional solidification with minimal metal use and clean riser break-off, especially in iron castings.
Key Features:
- Necked Base Geometry
- Constricted neck controls feeding direction and volume.
- Promotes directional solidification by feeding only the hot spot
- Simplifies post-casting operations — clean knock-off at the neck.
- Insulating (Non-Exothermic) Composition:
- Retains heat using low-conductivity materials.
- No chemical reaction → zero fumes or reaction by-products.
- Keeps the feeder metal molten long enough for effective feeding, especially in iron castings with medium cooling rates.
