For the transport and processing of aluminum melts, hand pouring crucibles and other production aids are currently used. However, these materials have weak points: The high level of wear and tear on the metal hand-held pouring crucibles is a serious problem. Based on the model of a metallic pouring pot, a ceramic composite material is being designed in the ZIM-BaMOx project. The choice of materials and the manufacturing processes to be used are largely based on their cost factors, but also on their sustainability. Energy-intensive sintering processes should be avoided. In order to be of economic interest as a casting aid, the future product must be inexpensive in all of its components. Particularly when it comes to the fiber material to be used, it is important to ensure that low-cost melt-spun fiber types are used.
