SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the search for non-fiberglass materials that can withstand temperatures exceeding 500 degrees Fahrenheit for use in aluminum alloy production. Tony, a participant, highlights the issues with fiberglass-based interleaving materials, which degrade into irritant powders. Calcium silicate is recommended as a suitable alternative, providing durability and heat resistance necessary for high-temperature applications.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of high-temperature materials and their properties
  • Knowledge of aluminum alloy production processes
  • Familiarity with material safety and handling
  • Basic principles of thermal insulation materials
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the properties and applications of calcium silicate in industrial settings
  • Explore alternative high-temperature materials such as ceramic composites
  • Investigate the impact of material degradation on workplace safety
  • Learn about the manufacturing processes for aluminum alloys at elevated temperatures
USEFUL FOR

Manufacturing engineers, materials scientists, safety officers, and professionals involved in high-temperature industrial processes will benefit from this discussion.

hi,,, i work in an industry ,of were we produce aluminuim alloy which is rolled out at temperatures of 500 degrees , we are using a fibre glass based material for interleaving (stop metal to metal contact ) which as a tendency of breaking down to a fine powder substance , which then becomes an irritant to those that use them,

could anybody possibly point me in the right direction for a none fibre glass subtance , material that's hard wearing excessive of 500 degrees and above ,

would be much appreciated , Tony
