Customized Tungsten Carbide Inserts in Aluminum Ladle Cleaning Machines

What is Tungsten Carbide Inserts in Aluminum Ladle Cleaning Machines?

Tungsten carbide inserts are high-performance cutting or scraping components installed in aluminum ladle cleaning machines. These machines clean residual aluminum, dross, and oxide scale from the inner surface of ladles used in molten aluminum handling. The tungsten carbide material provides exceptional wear resistance, thermal stability, and strength—making it ideal for the extreme conditions inside aluminum foundries.

Property for Tungsten Carbide Inserts:

• High Hardness (~HRA 89-93)
• Excellent Wear Resistance
• Thermal Stability (~1000°C)
• Corrosion Resistance

Applications:

• Cleaning crusted aluminum from ladle walls.
• Removing dross and oxide scale buildup.
• Scraping off frozen metal residues without damaging the ladle lining.

These inserts ensure that the ladle is ready for reuse quickly and safely, improving operational efficiency in aluminum casting plants.

Notes for Use

• Ensure correct insert geometry for your specific ladle size and shape.
• For optimal performance, use with rigid, vibration-free machine arms.
• Choose inserts from reputable suppliers who offer customization for your machine model.
