The cylinder head is a key component and determines the properties of every engine. Using the core package process, cylinder heads with complicated geometries – including undercuts – can be produced economically and in high quality with sand casting. However, it is a long road from the development of a new engine to series production.

No need for foundries to interrupt series production

Perfect cores and core packages are the prerequisite for perfect casting results. In a complex process, every parameter needs to be optimally aligned and tested for a new casting such as the cylinder head. HA offers its customers the opportunity to outsource the entire process from their foundries to the HA Center of Competence (CoC): from tool design (including simulation) to prototyping and final approval.

The CoC provides the perfect environment for producing cores and moulds and casting all metals. During the test phase, the CoC serves as an extended arm of the foundry, which can continue its series production at all times. HA supplies matching products for series production that meet the highest quality and environmental requirements. These include binder systems, coatings and additives. Once the work at the CoC is finished, the customer can implement a process that has been optimised and thoroughly tested and is able to enter series production immediately.
