“The optimization of foundry processess needs of a global vision of the process, where hundreds of correlated parameters affect the end result and the overall efficiency. However, any improvement process should be targeted by specific improvement objectives.”
Iron Foundry Technologies
The Iron Casting team develops #new materials, #control systems, technologies and processes that allow the manufacture of components with #enhanced properties and more #efficient industrial manufacturing processes. To this end, aspects such as: #metallurgical quality, #yield improvement, #savings in costs and raw materials, manufacturing technologies and #4.0 Industry or the #lead time of production and the feasability of new designs.
