Dyson’s Isostatically Pressed Crucibles are used in a wide range of melting applications from the melting of basic Carbon steels to the melting of exotic alloys such as Nickel and Cobalt based super alloys.
Dyson Technical Ceramics™ use high purity raw materials and our dedication to quality ensures our products provide optimum & consistent performance. In addition to this Dyson’s efficient manufacturing techniques make sure our clients receive what they need, when they are needed.
In order to provide quality products Dyson delivers materials of the highest quality to the market, competitively priced and backed by the expertise of application knowledge and the resources of the DTC Research and Development Laboratory in Sheffield, England.
Material Selection
Selection of materials is made by reference to an extensive application database, which in conjunction with close liaison with end users, provides materials offering optimum performance in terms of cost and operation. Dyson Technical Ceramics™ manufactures a wide range of compositions to suit most melting requirements. These compositions include:
Zirconia
Resistant to high temperatures with excellent erosion resistance properties, used in the melting of precious metals and exotic alloys used in the medical and aerospace industries. Dyson manufacture Ceria, Magnesia and Yttria stabilised Zirconia.
Alumina
Widely used for melting basic carbon steel alloys, stainless steels and less aggressive precious metals. Where thermal stress is an issue, Dyson also manufacture an Alumina Mullite composition.
AZ76
An excellent alternative to Alumina. The addition of Zirconia provides increased erosion resistance properties to extend the life of the crucible.
