Shell Moulding Technology and Products

Shell moulding is a technology used to produce castings on the net near shape concept.

The particular system of production of a thin rigid shell is able to obtain geometry on casting with restricted tolerance, finished and smoothness surface and complex shape

Much more than a system to shape the geometry

 

This system is providing a number of other advantages. Further the first possibility to use the geometrical quality of a shell moulded part, the other points focus on the thermic and mechanical characteristics of the shell mould. These characteristics are the bases for a reliable and advanced casting part.

Material produced

• Gray Iron
• Compacted Graphite Iron
• Ductile Iron
• Alloyed Cast Iron
• Carbon Steel

Compacted Graphite Iron

Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) is the better compromise that the metallurgy of iron is able today to offer for mechanical solution.

• Elevated mechanical performance in reference to gray iron;
• Elevated machinability in reference to ductile iron;
• Better castability in reference to gray and ductile iron;
