Skuld LLC will be restarting the former Champion Foundry operation to expand production of castings and 3DP parts for prototypes, tooling, and small-volume custom manufacturing...

There are five areas of concern where aluminum foundries can extend the performance life for furnaces, launders, and ladles.

Fluxing will eliminate build-up on sidewalls, improve slag fluidity, improve electrical efficiency, keep furnace volumes and ladles constant, and extend refractory life.
