Fiberglass Mesh Filter for Molten Iron Filtration FM‑07‑FE
FM‑07‑FE high‑silica fiberglass mesh filter is purpose‑built for molten iron filtration. Manufactured from high‑silica glass fiber with special refractory coating, it delivers reliable high‑temperature performance up to 1450 °C. It traps oxides, slag particles and non‑metallic inclusions within the gating system, delivers smoother casting surfaces and improved internal soundness, and helps iron foundries lower scrap rates.
This filter grade fits gray iron, ductile iron, compacted graphite iron and other conventional iron‑casting scenarios. It delivers excellent cost‑performance for medium‑and‑large‑volume iron foundry production.
Key Benefits of FM‑07‑FE Molten Iron Filter Mesh
- High‑Temperature Performance: Rated for pouring temperatures up to 1450 °C, suitable for most conventional gray & ductile iron pouring processes.
- Stable Mechanical Performance: Maintains structural integrity for short‑time pouring cycles, with minimal shrinkage under normal foundry pouring conditions.
- Effective Slag Capture: Retains slag, sand debris and non‑metallic impurities before molten iron enters the casting cavity.
- Easy Processing: Can be cut to custom shapes including discs, rectangles and strips for different gating layouts.
- Good Chemical Compatibility: Chemically inert to molten iron, avoids introducing harmful contaminant elements.
Note: The softening point of high‑silica fiber reaches ~1700 °C, this is a raw‑material property. Effective continuous contact time in molten iron is limited to approx.10 minutes. Long‑term immersion will cause fiber embrittlement.
Industrial High-Temperature Fiberglass Filter Mesh - Improve Casting Quality, Reduce Scrap Rate
Application scenarios include automotive parts casting, pipe castings, mechanical components, wind power castings, automotive engine cylinder blocks, and other conventional casting production.

Foundry Filter Mesh for Metal Filtration
Foundry enterprises commonly face high scrap rates due to slag inclusion defects in castings. Traditional ceramic filters, while somewhat effective, are fragile, and increase production costs. Our FM-07 Series Fiberglass Molten Iron Filter Mesh utilizes patented high-silica glass fiber technology, effectively intercepts oxide inclusions, sand particles, and slag in molten iron. The special fiber weaving process maintains structural stability at temperatures up to 1450°C without melting or deformation.
Compared to ceramic filters, fiberglass filter mesh is lighter, easier to install, and due to its flexibility. The product has passed ISO 9001 quality certification, exported to over 50 countries including Turkey, USA, and India, serving more than 800 foundry manufacturers.
