Trends in Lightweighting with Metal Castings

The best applications in lightweighting cut costs while improving performance. Waupaca Foundry achieved success on an automotive steering knuckle, converting an aluminum forging to an optimized ductile iron design that is 20% stronger, 25% stiffer and 40% lower cost, while narrowing the weight delta to an acceptable 1.32-kg increase over the forging. Again, cost is king in most applications, and this example shows that delivering a lower weight than the incumbent is not mandatory to win the sale.

Filter Block Trial Leads to Higher Quality Castings

Molten metal filters are used in the iron casting process to prevent slag and other harmful inclusions from entering the mold and ending up in the final casting. There are several types of molten metal filters to choose from. However, to guarantee the best performance from any filter, it is critical to have an understanding of the physical characteristics of the slag or inclusions specific to your foundry application.
