From Investment Casting to Sand Casting, whatever is the moulding technique, the choice of the most appropriate mineral raw material is necessary to ensure process efficiency. Mineralogy, form, grade and particle size distribution are only a small part of the data taken into account by technical staffs when selecting the most suitable mineral solution for the customer’s process.
IFME works closely with the Imerys Research & Development Center (CARRD) and is prepared to carry out specific development projects in order to help customers by analysing their process setup and proposing technical solutions.
