Al2O3 Ceramic Foam Filter Plate Custom

Al2O3 Ceramic Foam Filter Plate is a kind of foam material made from high purity alumina. The foam ceramics have the characteristics of uniform porosity, high temperature resistance, heat shock resistance, wear resistance and chemical stability.

Widely used in casting processing, water treatment, chemical industry, environmental protection and other industries. 

It is the ideal liquid aluminum filter, Catalyst support, and good sound insulation, thermal insulation material. Product shapes, sizes, and voids PPI can be designed and manufactured on request.

The Al₂O₃ Ceramic Foam Filter Plate (also known as an alumina foam filter) is a porous ceramic filtration material specifically designed for molten metal purification, especially in aluminum and aluminum alloy casting processes.

Manufactured using high-purity Aluminum Oxide, this filter plate effectively removes non-metallic inclusions, improves metal cleanliness, and enhances the mechanical properties of final cast products.

Why choose Al2O3 Ceramic Foam Filter Plate to filter aluminium?

There are many reasons for aluminum pollution:

● In the smelting process, aluminum is exposed to the furnace atmosphere in a molten or semi-molten state, easy to oxidize, easy to react with water vapor and absorb hydrogen, easy to form various forms of non-metallic slag (such as furnace lining debris, chloride, carbide in flux, etc.) and coarse metal intercompound particles and so on. 

● Part of the waste that makes up the charge brings some non-aluminum impurities into circulation.

● Because the waste comes from the factory of each process waste and waste and waste outside the plant, so the way is different, the composition is complex, the quality is poor. These impurities often make the billet produce bubbles and inclusions, which seriously affect the purity of the metal melt, and further affect the machining properties, mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and the appearance quality of the product.

Al2O3 Ceramic Foam Filter Plate Key Features

1. Excellent Filtration Efficiency

• Removes oxides, slag, and inclusions

• Improves surface finish and reduces defects

2. High Temperature Resistance

• Withstands temperatures up to 1100–1200°C

• Suitable for molten aluminum and non-ferrous alloys

3. High Porosity Structure

• Porosity: 80–90%

• Ensures smooth metal flow and minimal turbulence

4. Strong Thermal Shock Resistance

• Maintains integrity during rapid temperature changes

• Reduces risk of cracking during casting

5. Chemical Stability

What can Alumina Ceramic Foam Filter Plates do?

● Alumina foam ceramic filter plate can effectively remove all kinds of inclusions with fineness up to micron level in aluminum liquid, make aluminum liquid into a steady laminar flow, which is conducive to filling. 

● It has a unique mullite-corundum structure, good mechanical strength and chemical stability, excellent resistance to aluminum liquid erosion performance.

● It can obtain stable filtration effect by strict control of hole size and through hole rate.

● The ceramic foam filter plate is surrounded by a sealing ceramic fiber liner, which facilitates the seal of the filter plate in the filter box to ensure that there is no metal liquid sideflow.

The alumina foam ceramic filter product effectively removes the solid inclusions in the Peirong metal, so the aluminum alloy can be smoothly forged, aluminum foil manufacturing extrusion processing and other processes to obtain high-quality products.

A selection range of 10ppi coarse porosity to 40ppi very fine porosity, so there will always be a product standard that suits your requirements. Both ordinary sizes and special sizes required by customers can meet the requirements.

Quality Assessment Factor

1. Transmittance---Light transmittance refers to the effective filtering area of the foam ceramic filter plate product. The higher the transmittance, the fewer blind holes, the more effective filter holes (display holes), and the better the filtering effect.

2. Porosity---Porosity refers to the percentage of the total volume of pores in the filter plate product to the total volume of the filter plate product. The porosity determines the filtration capacity of the foam ceramic filter plate per unit volume. The larger the porosity, the greater the filtration flow of the filter plate and the stronger the filtration capacity, and vice versa.

3. Pore uniformity---Pore uniformity is used to describe the difference between the actual number of pores per 25.4mm length in the filter plate product and the theoretically required number of pores. The smaller the gap, the better the product quality. If the gap is too large, the filter plate product will reduce the retention capacity of impurities or the filtration speed of the melt is too slow, which cannot meet the individual requirements of users in production. The size of the pore uniformity mainly depends on the foam used in the production of the filter plate. The pore uniformity of the foam is good, and the pore uniformity of the filter plate is good, so the selection of the foam is extremely important.

4. Compressive strength---The higher the compressive strength, the more durable the product, the better the quality, and vice versa.
