Melt/Pour

A liquid alloy, Alloy A, is poured into a mold and partially solidifies into a shell before superheated Alloy B is introduced. It partly remelts the inner layer of alloy A, mixing with it and forming a smooth gradient between alloys A and B.

In the Camito process, tool steel is cast onto the gray iron.

Decatur Foundry converted from a cupola process to induction melting, to support its strategy of expanding capacity for ductile iron castings.

The most innovative, effective, and impactful cast-metal designs of the past year were recognized during CastExpo 08.

First impressions count, as CastExpo 08 exhibitors know. Many of them used big displays of largescale equipment to create that impact, while others emphasized product debuts.
