Injected casting is an economic means of producing large quantities of complex parts in aluminium, magnesium, zinc and copper alloys. The material has to withstand pressure and high temperatures. In recent years our partner Uddeholm has played a leading role in the development of hot working steel to meet the stringent requirements of the foundry industry.

Long production runs are common and place harsh requirements on tools and materials. Increasing challenges in foundry products ensure the development of cast alloys with increased strength and ductility, improved machinability, weldability and corrosion resistance.

Selecting the material is a key part of the process to achieve the best results.
