Where conventional materials simply can't take the heat, the advanced ceramic material aluminum titanate (ATI, ALUTIT, Al2TiO5) effortlessly masters challenging conditions such as aggressive melting, maximum temperatures of 1,000°C and temperature differences of several hundred degrees. It cannot be wetted by liquid aluminum and is also known for its excellent resistance to thermal shock. This makes ALUTIT the ideal choice for use in aluminum foundries. CeramTec chiefly uses aluminum titanate to manufacture riser tubes up to 1.75 m in length for low-pressure die casting along with tubes for dosing furnaces, also known as dosing tubes. But CeramTec ALUTIT can be used to manufacture more than just riser tubes and aluminum casting nozzles -- the material's versatility has also proven aluminum titanate's suitability for numerous other applications in foundry technology
