Allied Mineral Products, Inc.
IRON - We develop, manufacture, and market products for all iron melting applications (gray, ductile, malleable, chrome iron, etc.) These products include MINRO-SIL®, MINRO-SIL LD®, MINRO-SIL 2001®, and many DRI-VIBE® compositions. We can zone specialty refractories in order to address erosion in a specific area (e.g. elephant’s foot wear, slag line erosion).
STEEL - We make DRI-VIBE® refractories for all steel chemistries and temperature ranges. DRI-VIBES provide maximum campaign length for carbon steels, tool steels, manganese steels, alloyed steels, and all other compositions. We focus on minimizing wear caused by chemical attack, slag attack, thermal cycling, and unexpected temperature excursions. We also manufacture and sell wet ram refractories for steel melting. We use alumina, magnesia, spinel, chrome ore, zircon, and other refractory minerals to develop the best possible refractory matrices.
| Allied Mineral Products Inc. has designed, manufactured and sold monolithic refractories to the foundry industry since 1961. |
| Is the leading supplier of induction melting refractories for all metal melting segments in the United States and many other countries. |
| Are strongly committed to the advancement of refractory technology for foundry applications. |
Thermal Ceramics
Thermal Ceramics is well known for its high temperature products that have a variety of applications. They offer high alumina crucibles that range of standard sizes up to 2,250 lbs steel capacity; specials up to 5,600 lbs steel capacity. Their Pre-Fired Spouts offer an excellent resistance against thermal shock and cycling. Quick change-out time, consistent flow/pour characteristics, and are available in 66% to 95% alumina contents.
