Foundry - Chill Casting
Chill casting consists of casting aluminum into permanent metal molds, called chill-molds. This method is used for middle-sized to large batches of technically challenging aluminum castings. Technically challenging refers to our ability to also manufacture parts with a complicated design featuring sophisticated inside geometry and undercuts.
Rapid heat dissipation leads to a fine-grained structure with good mechanical properties of the chill castings. The process is characterized by great dimensional accuracy.
We use the chill casting method to manufacture aluminum castings of dimensions up to approx. 1300 x 500 mm, depending on component geometry, and in the weight range of 0,2 kg to 30,0 kg per single piece. All common European standard alloys as well as special alloys are processed.
For chill-mold manufacture we work with reliable partners who make chill-molds out of steel using modern CNC metal working machines. With the aid of state-of-the-art CAD/CAM technologies, drawings and 3D models are converted into casting tools aimed at service life and dimensional stability.
The described quality control and quality assurance measures guarantee excellent quality also for chill casting.
