Hot Tops
Hot tops are essential components utilized in the casting process to optimize the solidification of molten metal within molds. Consisting of insulating materials placed atop molds, hot tops facilitate directional solidification by controlling heat loss and promoting uniform cooling rates. By creating favorable thermal gradients, hot tops help prevent defects such as centerline segregation and ensure the production of high-quality castings with consistent microstructures and mechanical properties.
