Vent Plugs
Metsch Refractories Inc
Metsch vent plugs are hard ceramic products used to plug wax vent holes molded on complex wax pattern assemblies to assist with the de-wax of the mold. Metsch vent plugs are designed with tapered sides to prevent pushing the plug through the vent hole into the de-waxed mold. All Metsch vent plugs have radius on edges to avoid emitting ceramic inclusions into the pour. The Metsch vent plug product line includes 3 sizes: small, medium and large. Thousand Series line of vent plugs is available without a tooling charge. Custom vent plug shapes can be designed and molded to form fit to your wax vent shape.
Mold Support Rods
Metsch Refractories Inc
Extruded of high grade mullite or high purity alumina (for higher operating temperature capability), Metsch mold support rods are thermally compatible with most shell systems and all Metsch pouring cup materials to avoid cracking of the shell or pouring cup due to a thermal expansion mis-match.
With it’s Thousand Series line of standard mold support rod products, Metsch makes various profile shapes available without a tooling Charge: Round, Half-Round, Square and Rectangle. Each profile profile shape is available in multiple profile sizes.
All Metsch mold support rods are cut to length in the “green” state before firing to provide a clean end cut and to avoid micro-fractured ends due to “snapping” to length or post-firing cutting. Custom profile shapes and sizes can be quoted upon request.
