- Compatible with a variety of metals and alloys.
- Ideal for aerospace, automotive, and defense parts.
REVERSE GRAVITY
Our Reverse Gravity Casting technique offers precise control over the metal flow, resulting in complex geometries with superior surface finishes. This process involves filling molds in a reverse direction under controlled conditions, reducing defects like porosity and enhancing material density. Reverse Gravity Casting is ideal for precision-engineered components in the automotive, energy, and industrial sectors.
Key Advantages:
- Enhances material density and surface finish.
- Reduces casting defects like porosity.
- Ideal for intricate and complex geometries.
- Suitable for high-strength applications.
VACUUM CASTING
Our Vacuum Casting process is engineered to produce components in super alloys and reactive metals, where oxidation and contamination are concerns. By melting metals in a vacuum environment, this method ensures that the metal retains its purity and integrity, making it perfect for aerospace, medical, and defense applications. Vacuum Casting excels at manufacturing parts that require superior mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and performance at high temperatures.
Key Advantages:
- Perfect for high-performance super alloys.
- Prevents oxidation and contamination.
- Ensures superior mechanical properties and surface quality.
Ideal for aerospace, medical, and high-temperature applications
