Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What metals are alumina filters best suited for?
A: Primarily aluminum alloys (up to 800°C), bronze, brass, and lower-temperature iron applications.
Q: How do I determine the correct PPI for my application?
A: Consider your metal type and inclusion size. Contact our technical team for personalized recommendations.
Q: Can alumina filters be used for steel casting?
A: Not recommended for most steel applications due to temperature limitations and potential chemical reactions.
Q: What's the typical service life?
A: Single-use for most applications, but some low-temperature processes may allow limited reuse.
