• Polymer Castings take on metals
  over 40 in. A 270 cylindrical scanner with 16 vacuum grooves cast to 0.001-in. TIR. Wood mold for a 15-ton polymer miller base. The structures of equipment such as lathes, milling machines, coordinate-measuring machines, and pump bases are typically cast-iron or steel weldments. The iron-casting...
• Steering knuckles deck the competition
  Top contenders in a recent design competition sponsored by the North American Die Casting Assoc., Wheeling Ill., included steering knuckles for luxury carmaker Jaguar made using a high-vacuum squeeze casting process. Steering knuckle (above), Honda rear subframe (top), and Corvette engine cradle...
• Tin
  that for nearly all other metals (which facilitates casting). Upon severe deformation, tin and tin-rich alloys work soften. Principal uses for tin are as a constituent of solder and as a coating for steel (tinplate, or terneplate). Tin is also used in bronze, pewter, and bearing alloys. Tin and tin alloys...
• AlliedSignal Automotive Brake Division Improves Productivity with ARMEX(R)
  by using mold patterns and core box molds. A core box is the mold pattern that makes a cavity in the finished casting. In other words, to make a casting with an internal cavity, you must create a solid mold aorund, which the molten iron can be poured. These solid molds, which are made from sand...
• No stress nylon
  .-diameter cavity in the steel casting that is part of every freight car bogey. Reaction-injection molding (RIM) combines two lowviscosity liquid streams consisting of a reaction catalyst and initiators (containing mostly monomer) inside the mold. The resultant polymer grows in molecular weight...
• Aluminum-Alloy Bearings
  is the most ductile of the cast alloys and can withstand heavy loads without cracking or fretting. It also has good compatibility. An easier-casting version is A850.0-T5. In hardness, this alloy stands between the bronzes and the babbitts. The most widely used cast aluminum-tin bearing alloy...
• Metal-Matrix Composites
  excellent thermal conductivity, high shear strength, excellent abrasion resistance, high-temperature operation, nonflammability, minimal attack by fuels and solvents, and the ability to be formed and treated on conventional equipment. Aluminum MMCs are produced by casting, powder metallurgy, in situ...
• EnterpriseIQ-Case Sudy: Miniature Precision Components
  As a leading tier-one supplier for the major automotive manufacturers, Miniature Precision Components, Inc. (MPC) is familiar with high-stakes pressure. Overview. Advantages. Technology. Case Studies. Miniature Precision Components. Nissen Chemitec America. Top Die Casting. White Papers. How...
• Bronze and Copper-Alloy Bearings
  scoring resistance. Since lead is practically insoluble in copper, a cast copper-lead microstructure consists of lead pockets in a copper matrix. These pockets of lead serve as reservoirs for maintaining a continuous lead film on the bearing surface. With either continuous casting...
• U.S. Metalcasting Industry is Committed to Greater Energy Efficiency and Environmental Sustainability
  efficiency, innovative casting processes, and better instrumentation and controls. These efforts are a sharp contrast to the metalcasting industries in many developing countries, which use antiquated, labor-intensive methods that are significantly less energy efficient and produce more...
