Tin and Bismuth Melt Holding Tank Material, Suggestions Needed

06/30/2013 8:59 AM

Respected all ,

For one my machine there is requirement of A wire mesh conveyor running through the Molten Tin and Bismuth tank, for which I am planning to use a Electric furnace (for Melting and holding as well), hence I request you to please let me know proper material for the said conveyor as well as the Molten metal holding furnace.

(Currently I have considered SS 316L or Titanium)

Cast iron, or steel are what is used. You don't need Ti, for sure.

Where's your imagination?

Besides, when it's obvious that the OP has no clue what they are doing and want us to do all their work for them, I lose interest in trying to help them.

They don't want help, they want someone to do their work for them for free. That seems to be the predominate type of posts we get now.

"Please do my work for me, cause I don't know how."

There are no ethics any more, just lazy bums!

Watch out for those spiral-twisted cast iron wire strands....two of them could come together to form a double helix....life!....behold, Iron Man! Just let your imagination run free!

Sirs,

Firstly, thank you very much for your valued replies, secondly, its nothing about asking to do my work to anybody, All I believe that this forum is a forum of experts (which is) and when I studied about the application I selected SS304 for the same but latter on got some document specially related to the relation between SS304 and Lead free solders and a fact emerged that corrosion occur in SS 304 due to molten Tin (Si)which is measured almost 0.17 mm/Year, but I did not get any further data of that..it made me come to this forum.

hope to receive 805th good Answer from the genius.

Thank you,

OP use 316L. It'll be fine. Cast iron wire mesh is only for chicken coops.

On the assumption that this is not some sort of reverse-engineering project, you might contact one of the manufacturers of wave-solder machines and see if you could buy such a conveyor as a spare part.
