What’s Inside?

Improving as-cast quality offers a range of benefits to steel foundries – from improved yield and lower production costs per piece, to reduced lead times and lower carbon emissions. Cleaner casting is not however something achieved by a single solution or process improvement. Casting defects have a range of causes and can occur at a number of points along the casting process. Minimising defects therefore requires the adoption of a range of solutions from melt to mould.
