Ceramic Cores are often complex shapes made from High Purity, stable Ceramic materials that are set within a mould when a product is cast to create interior holes and pathways in the metal after casting and core removal. For example, Turbine blades use ceramic cores to create internal cooling air paths that prevent a blade from melting at super high temperatures.
With over 45 years’ experience, Nutec Bickley has demonstrated a knowledge and experience firing Ceramic Cores. As most Ceramic Core bodies contain organic binders to allow manufacture, they need careful firing during their burnout, so our kilns are designed with that in mind. The kilns are often fitted with thermal oxidizers or Post exhaust cleaning systems to protect the environment. Nutec Bickley have supplied many kilns around the world for firing Ceramic Cores.
