in THE MAIN WALL
I am looking for someone who can explain how a manufacturer like Norton ( I know they have a different name now St. something) would from start to finish make a hot surface ignitor?

    Norton is the Name

    St. Gobain is the owner of Norton.

    The process for making igniters is best viewed on your own. Get in touch with them and they will give you all the info you need. Better yet a tour is best.

    They are located in Worcester Ma I believe I have a phone number but it may be old try 508-795-5836.

    You can also try Surface Igniter Corporation (Carborundum) located in Niagra Falls, NY phone 716-297-6967 or www.surfaceigniter.com

    Hope this helps.

    Hp80 are you new to the Wall?

    I do not believe I have seen you post here before. How about a little info about yourself as a way of introduction. You can e-mail me if this is too public a forum.

    HSI

    Being from Canada and limited resources a trip to the plant can not be done, I would love to do this though. I have contacted these people about 4 weeks ago via their website and to date have heard nothing, so if someone knows the process(es) involved in the making of HSI's please tell me what you know.

    Again Thank you for your responses!

    Norton contact

    Tom Chodacki is the Senior Project Engineer at Norton. If you contact him directly at (603)672-6161 in New Hampshire, he may be the person most suited to talk to. Hot Surface Ignitors can be constructed from a variety of materials - Norton is currently using a ceramic-intermetallic material for their tips. They are formed by a high pressure/temperature process. Other companies use Silicon Carbide, made by a casting process, or Tungsten coated with Silicon Nitride.
