TRIAL PACK
So that you may inspect and test the MRI Mold Support Rods, a free trial pack is made available with every Request For Quote submission. Simply select which of the above models most closely fits your needs and notify MRI. A trial pack will be shipped for testing and approval.

SHAPES/SIZES
All shapes are available in lengths up to 12.00" (305 mm); half-round shapes up to 24.00" (610 mm). All edges have radius to prevent erosion during the pour.

Standard tolerances apply: .006" camber per inch of length (.15 mm per 25.4 mm), +/- .020" (.50 mm) on profile dimensions, +/- .010" per inch (.25 mm per 25.4 mm) on length of rods.

When ordering specify size, shape, lengths and material needed for price quotation.

MATERIALS
MRI mold support rods are available in two high grade refractory compositions:

  • Mullite hybrid - for high mechanical strength, very good thermal shock resistance.
  • Alumina - for extreme temperature exposure, very high mechanical strength and silica sensitive alloy pours.

Both materials have been proven in a wide variety of investment casting conditions for many years.

TRACE ELEMENT CONTROL
MRI uses only the highest quality raw materials to control trace element levels within industry standards. Testing and reporting of trace element parts-per-million levels is performed by an independent laboratory.

CUSTOM DESIGN/MANUFACTURE
If a standard MRI mold support rod does not fit your needs, MRI will assist in the design and manufacture of the specific rod required.
