About this product

We supply atomising nozzles for powder metallurgy, zirconia ceramic metering (flow control) nozzles for continuous casting of steel, and boron nitride nozzle components for high-temperature industrial processing. Our nozzles deliver precise, stable flow under extreme thermal, chemical and mechanical environments — offering superior performance and extended service life compared with traditional metal alternatives. Composite nozzle options combine high-performance zirconia ceramic inserts with lower-cost outer bodies, reducing jointing, cementing and failure points. Custom shapes and densities are available through advanced forming methods that enable high and uniform density for extended casting sequences.

Key benefits

What that means for you

Precision flow control

Stable flow characteristics under harsh process conditions, supporting consistent throughput and casting quality.

High temperature performance

Zirconia and zircon nozzle bodies engineered to operate in severe thermal environments and molten metal contact.

Exceptional erosion resistance

Advanced ceramic formulations resist wear from high-velocity molten alloys and oxygen lancing.

Multiple material technologies

Available in yttria, ceria and magnesia stabilised zirconia — optimised for thermal shock and alloy compatibility.

Composite nozzle options

High-performance zirconia ceramic inserts with lower-cost outer bodies, reducing jointing, cementing and failure points.

Custom shapes & densities

Advanced forming methods enable high and uniform density for extended casting sequence times.

Exceptional nozzle life, more stable flow, longer casting sequence times and improved output quality — reducing downtime, scrap and melt variability.

Material options

Our nozzles are produced in a range of advanced ceramic materials, each engineered for specific alloy and process conditions:

– Zirconia (Yttria-Stabilised and Magnesia-Stabilised) — excellent thermal shock resistance
– Boron Nitride — exceptional stability at extreme temperatures with aggressive alloys
– Alumina — proven all-round performance
– Mullite — strong and stable in thermal cycling
– Silicon Carbide — superior wear resistance and conductivity

FAQs

Your questions answered

What casting processes are these nozzles used for?

Continuous casting of steel, powder metallurgy and metal atomisation (ferrous and non-ferrous), high-temperature melt processing, non-ferrous alloy casting, and vacuum/high-temperature electrical furnaces.

What's a composite nozzle?

A composite nozzle combines a high-performance zirconia ceramic insert (where flow control and erosion resistance matter most) with a lower-cost outer body — reducing jointing, cementing and failure points compared with single-material nozzles.

Which zirconia stabiliser should I specify?

It depends on your alloy and conditions. Yttria-stabilised and magnesia-stabilised zirconia each offer different thermal shock and alloy compatibility profiles. Our team will recommend the right grade based on your casting setup.

Are boron nitride nozzles available?

Yes. Boron nitride composite blends offer exceptional stability at extreme temperatures and improved wear resistance — suitable for the most aggressive metal alloys and extreme environments.

Can you supply burner nozzles for firing systems?

Yes. Single-path and multi-section ceramic burner nozzles are available for harsh, high-temperature firing systems.
