| United Cast Bar supplies Unibar material into the glass industry sector for various applications:
Continuous Cast Iron material is used by major manufacturers of glass products. Unibar is used for the production of glass bottles as well as float glass applications. Unibar GF and Unibar GP are the primary materials used for the production of glass moulds and glass mould neck rings. Unibar GF and Unibar GP are used to replace sand castings and offers a microstructure of interdendritic graphite in a ferritic matrix. Unibar GF and Unibar GP are titanium treated which gives a very fine graphite matrix. The fine graphite produces an exceptionally fine polished finish, perfect for the manufacture of glass bottles where a highly polished finish is required. |

Unibar ADI offers a unique combination of toughness and wear resistance. Strengths of over 1500 MPa (216,000 psi) can be developed, similar to that of high tensile steels. Unibar ADI retains its beneficial properties such as excellent machinability, vibration and noise damping capacity, 10% weight reduction and high wear resistance due to the self lubricating network of graphite. |
