Metal & Foundry
What if we told you that our established induction feeding technology could decrease your feeder size by 90% and save 40% power per casting, Will you embrace it? The contemporary way of casting metals
Metal is the elixir used in various manufacturing processes across multiple industries spanning the globe.
A foundry is a factory that produces metal castings. Metals are cast into shapes by melting them into a liquid, pouring the metal in a mold, and removing the mold material or casting after the metal has solidified as it cools.
The most common metals processed are aluminum and cast iron. However, other metals, such as bronze, brass, steel, magnesium, and zinc, are also used to produce castings in foundries. In this process, parts of desired shapes and sizes can be formed.
Thermal heating is widely known within this industry as it is used in all hot forming processes.
Compared to the conventional methods, induction heating is increasingly used because of the numerous advantages it offers, such as precise temperature control, reduced heating time, production line integration and energy reduction.
Our solutions for the metal and foundry industry are mainly to be found in the following areas:
- Induction assisted feeding of castings: What if we told you that our established induction feeding technology could decrease your feeder size by 90% and save 40% power per casting? Will you embrace it?
- Forging of billet heaters and horizontal/vertical bar ends
- Plasma heating of titanium and silicon
- Vertical or horizontal heating of bar ends
Expanding bolts with induction is the proven time and labour-saving alternative to inefficient flame and resistance heating. With induction, a specially designed coil is inserted into the bolt. Rapid, precisely controlled and localized heat is then induced.
Induction pre and post heating is a process where materials or workpieces are heated by induction in before or after further processing. For example, in the cable and wire industry, cable cores are preheated before insulation extrusion. Metal components and welds, for example, must often be post-heated to relieve internal.
Tempering is a process able to decrease the hardness, strength and increases the toughness of hardened steels while removing the tensions created in the material, leaving the steel with the required hardness. A heating process that optimizes mechanical properties in workpieces that have already been hardened.
