The South African aluminium foundry industry - An international perspective
Dr Tom Paterson, FIMMM, FICME, C.Sci
Striko Westoven GmbH.
67th World Foundry Congress
This paper will consider the question ‘can South Africa make it as a global
supplier of aluminium castings’. Points shall be raised concerning how
important castings are to designers and purchasers of components and a
consideration of the foundries of the future.
There are a number of key challenges to be overcome by the South
African Foundry Industry and the author will discuss how South African
foundries investing in new technology can...
Engineering
A new future for gravity moulding
M Bakrim, J Vervier, C Vandenhaute, F Ngirabacu and D Vervier.
Atelier de la Mécanique (ALM SA), BE
67th World Foundry Congress
Gravity moulding process should be automated for 2 main reasons.
Firstly the large series of injected moulded parts are leaving Europe for the
Far East countries. The European foundries have to concentrate on
smaller series AND keep their production prices as competitive as
possible.
Secondly manual moulding faces a manpower problem. It is difficult to
convince people to have a physical work in such a harsh environment.
Original solutio...
Finishing and inspection
New adaptive machining methods for the foundry industry
Peter Dickin
Delcam, UK.
67th World Foundry Congress
Computer-based methods for machining and inspection are well
established in the foundry industry. More recently, these two technologies
have been brought closer together in a new development – adaptive
machining. This approach uses a combination of software, such as
Delcam’s PowerMILL CAM system and PowerINSPECT software, to give
new solutions to a range of challenging manufacturing problems.
The programming of most machining operations ...
Mould and coremaking
New innovative solutions for foundries by inorganic concepts
Jens Müller* and Reinhard Stötzel*
*ASK GmbH, Hilden
67th World Foundry Congress
In today’s core manufacturing, the high-performance cold box systems are
very well established. However, they are confronted with increasing
demands regarding lower smell and reduced emissions, especially in
aluminium die casting. ASK develops a solution to these problems with
INOTEC, a new inorganic binder system which is based on consequent
and detailed investigations of inorganic principles. Even in demanding
brass casting, a serial p...
