Maximum energy efficiency and minimum emissions are major goals in the construction of large goods vehicles (LGVs). Manufacturers therefore require castings that are lighter than ever before. The need for thin-walled castings, combined with high strength and performance requirements, is driving demand for ever more complex castings.
Optimal seal-feeding for complex casting sections
Customised contour breaker cores from Chemex more than live up to these requirements. Contour breaker cores are exothermic segments which are precisely placed on subsections of the casting geometries. They keep the melt in a liquid state for longer in thin-walled areas. This enables optimum sealing of the underlying areas, without negatively affecting the metallurgical properties of the molten metal.
Benefits
Chemex supports its customers in optimising their production processes with the application of state-of-the-art feeder systems.
Quality, not quantity: The costs of the casting process can be effectively reduced by using fewer feeders. Using customised contour breaking cores can cut the number of feeders from 5 to 1 for the same casting.
Chemex feeders increase productivity, enable moulding lines to work more efficiently and reduce the amount of separating and cleaning work given the minimal contact area of the breaker cores and the casting.
