Converting alloys or scrap into molten material to fill a mold — in high-volume or batch processing, fuel-fired or electrically powered — these are the processes at the heart of metalcasting operations.
Gate-and-runner systems have traditionally dominated in metalcasting operations, but the more recent development of direct-pour technology has provided a compelling alternative to older methods — one that cannot be ignored...
MAGNECO/ METREL's line of high-alumina Sol-Gel bonded crucibles provide unprecedented hot strength and thermal shock resistance. They are produced with the Metpump C-190 crucible formulation of the company's patented, Sol-Gel bonded...
ACHESON s Dag 1000 BL is a dual-axis, servo-controlled reciprocator with positioning accuracy of +/- 0.5mm in continuous operation. It also provides programming by picture no programming language necessary. With teach in/off line programming...
Metal Infusion Surface Treatment alters the surface of die components and tooling, demonstrating improvements in process performance and productivity that coating and other surface treatments cannot deliver.
Sand binders may be the source of many problems for metalcasters, but one that has gotten fairly little attention is their effect on process equipment.
