Foundry Refractories and Consumables
Foundries run on short cycles, mixed alloys, and tight pour windows. McKeown supplies foundry refractories and consumables that hold up to that pace, from melting through pouring.
Melting Furnace Materials
Whether you melt in an electric arc furnace, an induction furnace, or a cupola, the lining has to survive both the heat and the charge. We supply the materials and consumables that keep melt rates steady.
- Graphite electrodes for arc melting
- EAF and ladle refractory brick, including high-alumina grades
- Neutral ramming mixes for induction furnace linings
- Metallurgical and foundry coke for cupola operations
Pouring and Metal Handling
Stopper Rods and Sleeves
Stopper assemblies that seat cleanly and resist erosion, so pours start and stop where they should.
Crucibles
Sized to your furnace for melting and holding, and selected for the alloys you run.
Calorized Pipe
Aluminum-diffusion-coated pipe for oxidation resistance in hot, corrosive service.
Carbon Blocks and Single-Source Supply
Carbon blocks round out the supply. Buying melting, pouring, and carbon products through one partner simplifies purchasing and gives you one team accountable for how the whole system performs.
