Introduction

Exothermic & Insulating Hot Top

Hot Tops act as a reservoir of liquid metal for the cast iron mould in steel ingot castings. It keeps the metal in molten form till the solidification of ingot body by providing an exothermic reaction and insulating properties. We are selling this product under the trade name Metahot™.

Key Features

  • Sound ingot casting free from shrinkage, cavity/piping.
    Inclusion free ingot.
  • Increases casting yield.
  • Increase in directional solidification.
  • Improvement in casting yield and productivity.
  • Increase in directional solidification.
  • Eliminates casting defects like shrinkage, cavity/pipingthe, etc.

Availability

Metahot™

Hot tops are available in a long range of sizes & shapes like Square, Rectangular, Round, Fluted, and Pad /Segmented Form. Metahot™ supplies the required quantity and quality of Anti Piping Compound Metalux™.

Sealing Compound (Metaseal) is also provided separately for fixing the Hot Top on C.I. Mould. Metahot™ Hot tops are wrapped in polythene and then packed in corrugated boxes to prevent moisture pick-up and damage during transit.
