MAGNETIC INDUCTION CASTING
The low-pressure casting machine
The principle of low-pressure casting with a magnetic field and short-circuit current at the end of the riser, directly before die ingress, facilities an improved, low-turbulence, process for casting aluminum.
MAGNETIC INDUCTION CASTING
The concept
Thanks to low-turbulence mold filling, magnetic field casting is an innovative solution for casting aluminum in the low-pressure and back-pressure die-casting process.
A magnetic field is established at the end of the riser during die filling, and electrical contact is established. This slows down the molten aluminum as it enters the die. A laminar, smooth molten flow is created.
The benefits of this new process include a reduction in oxide inclusions, reduced porosity, and less scrap. The magnet mechanism eliminates the need for a casting sieve. Furthermore, costs for sieve setters and post-processing of the sprue are eliminated.
