Ingot

Ingots produced by continuous casting are superior to classical ingots. This can be seen at many steps of further processing. We can now also offer these as standard for aluminium bronzes. Aluminium bronze properties Higher output Solidification of the ingots in the cooler without contact with oxygen prevents oxide formation and gas inclusions in the ingots. This significantly reduces the amount of dross in further processing. Reduced scrap The purer the base material used in the casting process, the lower the reject rate due to foreign bodies or oxide inclusions. Thin casting skin Thinner casting skins are formed during further processing into semi-finished products or components. Casting close to final dimensions and reduced machining oversizes are possible. This reduces machining times and saves production costs. Uniform material properties Continuously cast ingots minimize foreign inclusions and inhomogeneities in the component. The mechanical properties are more uniform.
