PTC for Sand Casting


 

Aluminum Sand Casting   Cast and Ductile Iron  

The PTC process stirs the metal during solidification thus refines micro structure, reduces defect ratio, improves quality and reduces production cost dramatically.

 

PTC advantages for Aluminum Sand Casting

Production cost reduction by 20%-25%
Riser's mass reduction by 70% -90% and thus casting weight reduction by 35%
Foundry yield increase from 60% to over 90%
Foundry sand reclamation reduction by 30%
Melting and Holding furnaces efficiency increase by 50%
Environmental emission reduction by 35%
Casting productivity increase by at least 20%
Surface roughness reduction by a factor of 5
Microstructure refinement, DAS Reduction by 20-50%
Shrinkage and porosity reduction
Segregation reduction
Mechanical properties improvement

 

As a result significant production cost savings and t in product quality improvement is achieved.

 

The PTC process has been tested commercially by several foundries, for aluminum sand casting.
Using the PTC process to stir the molten metal during the solidification significantly reduces the risers' mass by 70%, saves 35% of the casting weight and increases casting productivity on existing lines.
The PTC process improves cast part quality, reduces shrinkage and porosity and improves surface quality. The fine microstructure that has been achieved by the stirring effect of the solidifying metal improves dramatically the mechanical properties of the cast part.
The PTC has several environmental benefits, The risers` mass reduction decreases the amount of waste material that needs to be recycled.

 

The PTC process can be applied on any type of Aluminum alloys.
The PTC is add on technology and can be integrated on any casting line.
