Sialon ladles

We manufacture all types of sialon ladles for automated high pressure die casting machines.

These ceramic ladles offer a superior service life compared to cast iron ladles, which means considerably less downtime for manufacturing. Because of its strength and corrosion resistance, ceramic ladles has proven to be very effective in high pressure die casting machines. With regards to Sialons, there is substitution of silicon by aluminum with corresponding atomic replacement of nitrogen by oxygen, to satisfy valency requirements. The resulting ‘solution’ has superior properties to the original pure solvent, syalon, silicon nitride or Si3N4. Silicon Nitride ceramics (such as Sialon ladles) have found extensive use in non-ferrous molten metal handling, particularly aluminum and its alloys, including metal feed tubes for aluminum die casting, burner and immersion heater tubes, injector and degassing for nonferrous metals, thermocouple protection tubes, crucibles and ladles for high pressure diecasting machines.

Sialon Ladles for High-Pressure Die Casting Machines – Superior Service Life vs Cast Iron, Dramatically Reduced Downtime

Strong Sialon Ladles are premium ceramic ladles manufactured from advanced Sialon ULTRA™ silicon nitride-based ceramics (Si₃Al₃O₃N₅) specifically for automated high-pressure die casting machines. They offer far superior service life compared to traditional cast iron ladles, resulting in considerably less downtime and lower maintenance costs while maintaining highest metal purity.

Thanks to the unique Sialon composition (substitution of silicon by aluminum and nitrogen by oxygen), these ladles provide exceptional high strength, corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, zero water absorption, and outstanding thermal shock resistance. They are ideal for handling molten non-ferrous metals, particularly aluminium and its alloys, in high-pressure die casting, gravity casting, and integration with Striko Westomat dosing furnaces (450–3,100 kg capacities).

Key advantages include best price/performance ratio, easy setup, low cleaning/maintenance costs, and proven effectiveness in aggressive molten metal environments. Sialon ladles complement the full range of Sialon components (immersion heaters, riser tubes, thermocouple sheaths, degassing rotors, etc.) for complete molten aluminium handling solutions.

Full technical specifications (ULTRA™ grades 001–004):

  • Bulk density: 3.1–3.3 g/cm³
  • Water absorption: 0 %
  • Flexural strength: 580–1,020 MPa
  • Vickers hardness: 12.7–15.0 GPa

  • Thermal conductivity (20 °C): 23–54 W/(m·K)
  • Heat shock resistance: 550–900 °C
  • Volume resistivity (20 °C): >10¹⁴ Ω·cm

Since 1986, these ladles have been the preferred choice for foundries seeking maximum reliability and cost savings. View Sialon Ladles – custom shapes, sizes and mounting options available. Standard 12-month warranty against chemical attack in molten aluminium.
