Foundry Metalcasting Weekly

Managing Porosity Is All Part of the Business

Fixing casting defects is all part of the process for metalcasters and their most valuable customers, meaning they have decisions to make in order to identify the most efficient, cost-effective approach to sealing castings.

Proven performance of DIDION Rotary Foundry Equipment provides the fastest payback in the industry for top tier metalcasters worldwide. Continuous innovation, longevity, lowest maintenance and operating costs.

Linamar Takes Over HPDC Joint Venture

GF Linamar LLC – which produces aluminum and magnesium structural and powertrain castings for auto and light truck manufacturing – will be rebranded.

Early acquisition of the temperature profile in the mold enables better control over production processes detecting in advance issues such as break-out, adhesion or strand shell shrinkage. FBGS provide fiber optic sensing solutions for metal casting.

3D-Printed Filters Engineered for Higher Throughput, Cleaner Metal

Additive manufacturing achieves uniformity and consistency in filter design, with higher flow capacity than sintered ceramic-foam filters can offer.

Messaging During Unsettling Times – And All Times

You need a communication plan for your business’s long-term strategy, and to ensure your brand remains strong and recognizable when troubling circumstances unfold.

GEMCO’s mission is to develop projects that enable our customers to be successful, and to design, engineer and build sustainable metal casting facilities with the lowest possible carbon footprint and minimal impact on the environment.

Evaluating Demand Response Programs for Foundries

Collecting a fee for not consuming electricity may have little monetary value for a metalcaster, though the demand forecast may help to coordinate backup or auxiliary power systems.

R&D Partners Focus on Binders for Reactive Metal 3DP

ExOne and IFAM aim to enhance additive manufacturing of aluminum and titanium parts by improving the results of sintering processes.
