CermeTi® Shot Sleeve Liners -

The Logical Choice For Die Casting!

     While H-13 tool steel is the workhorse of the die casting industry its life is limited by aluminum soldering, heat checking and erosion.  Ceramic liners have low resistance to mechanical and thermal shock and break easily.  Coatings tend to chip or flake. 

     CermeTi® liners are the logical choice.  CermeTi® lined shot sleeves are rugged and require no special handling or operating changes.         

  

Benefits of CermeTi® Lined Shot Sleeves

  • Eliminates aluminum soldering

  • Retains heat during the shot

  • Eliminates chill layer defects

  • Reduces heat checking

  • 5 to 15 times longer life

  • Twice the tip life

  • Less down time 

  • Fewer rejects

  • Lower costs, less energy use, fewer emissions

  • Requires no special handling
