KALMIN 250 NE The use of standard insulating sleeves in Aluminium foundries is well known and understood. The complex design of castings today coupled to a much higher quality requirement requires a more sophisticated solution to gating and feeding. Foseco is able to offer highly insulating sleeves which adapt exactly to the contour of the casting itself, sometimes even forming the casting shape locally.…

The Non Ferrous metal treatment area will feature the latest generation of Foseco FDU and MTS equipment – state of the art technology for the automated treatment of an aluminium melt. This innovative rotary degassing process is controlled by SMARTT, a software which is based on the recently developed Foseco Degassing Model that accurately simulates rotary degassing. The operator simply defines a melt…

Globally the accepted emission levels for new vehicles is being driven ever lower, with car manufacturers focusing on lightweight design and energy efficiency to meet the legislative requirements. One area of specific focus is the downsizing of engines whilst retaining power output, in many cases utilising low weight aluminium blocks with grey iron cylinder liners. Foseco will be displaying a technology…

Mould and core coatings can significantly help to reduce internal and external foundry expense. The displays will highlight specific examples of Foseco’s innovative approach to reduce casting manufacturing costs through product development and by utilising new technologies. Highlights will be the launch of an innovative new coating range that will allow a cost-effective transition from solvent to…

The manufacturing cost of ductile Iron castings is a major limiting factor for foundries to compete against alternative materials such as welded components or steel castings. The INITEK process can enable your Foundry to produce world class ductile iron castings with the high quality standards demanded by your customers at a lower cost and with greater productivity. The INITEK process addresses the inherent…

ITACA* thermal analysis systems help foundries monitor metallurgical process prerformance by analysing base and final iron quality. ITACA Melt Deck minimises variances in base iron by providing the operator information necessary to adjust the characteristics of iron within predetermined process specifications. It provides real time measurement of %Ceq, %C, %Si and the nucleation status of the iron. ITACA 8…

The manufacturing cost of ductile Iron castings is a major limiting factor for foundries to compete against alternative materials such as welded components or steel castings. Dynamic Inoculation offers foundries the opportunity to minimise inoculation costs and to achieve consistent iron casting physical properties. A new Dynamic Inoculation process from Foseco features an active INOCULIN ferro-silicon…

The temperature measurement of cast iron is quite a complex subject. The temperature of a bath of molten metal is by essence not homogeneous. You can have in the same molten bath, discrepancies of temperature that can reach 100°C, due to location and flux motion of cast iron. For this reason, an instantaneous punctual measurement is not the most effective way to appreciate the temperature of molten metal.…

For many foundries the pursuit of casting yield improvement and cleaning cost reduction has necessitated the development of customised feeding system solutions. The challenges and demands facing our customers today require that we work together to develop new innovative solutions to the most difficult feeding problems. A series of casting case studies will demonstrate the latest advances in feeding systems…
