Simply put, non-ferrous castings don’t contain iron, so aluminium is part of this iron-free family tree, as is magnesium, copper, and a whole host of metals with special properties. In
Special finishes are often applied to non-ferrous parts at the post-processing stage. There are extra polishing and machining stages here, plus electroplating techniques and other finishing processes. They refine the
Unique among high-end metal casting techniques, the rotational moulding process uses radial momentum to direct liquid metal flow. The equipment uses a moving arm to rotate the processing part on
The goal of this clash of the furnaces is to create a differential review, a critique that looks closely at electric induction versus gas melting as it relates to aluminium
Negative impressions form the backbone of the metal casting industry. We’ll hold off on listing the various mould materials for the moment, mostly because we’re talking at a building bricks
Non-ferrous metal castings are equipped with unique properties, material characteristics that find their way into important engineering applications. But these metals liquefy across a wide thermal spectrum. Thankfully, the techniques
When a developing product leaves the drafting board, the prototyping phase allows engineers to evaluate features and generally fine-tune the concept. The Rapid prototype aluminum casting process works along the
Engineering ingenuity is an obligatory part of a fabrication cycle when hollow products are the manufacturing focus. The void-dominated process has to ensure a material flows uniformly across and inside
If a castings buyer has been seduced by a particular fabrication process, there’s a good chance he’s looking at a product shaped by a rotomould cycle. Short for rotational moulding,
Every stage of a non-ferrous casting process can be viewed as a worthy property manipulator. Time is a major contributor to final hardness values, with shoddy pour rate management causing
In discussing casting technology, we’ve seen the mould described as a negative, a physically inverted version of the cast component. This precisely engineered cavity fills with molten metal and holds
Conventional vacuum casting techniques employ state-of-the-art processing environments when manufacturing structurally sound components. The castings are high in mechanical strength, geometrically complex, and cost effective to bulk produce. Vacuum moulding
