Composite casting / Bimetallic casting
In composite casting we use the centrifugal casting process to produce a shell structure of the materials. This creates a distinct composite zone where one material passes into the other. Outside this transition, however, the material properties are unaffected. The transition zone is compact, this means that there are no junctions that could act as barriers to heat conduction or as starting points for fatigue fractures.
In this way we combine the positive properties of two materials. We manufacture, in series, highly loadable composite / bimetallic liners. They consist of high-strength cast iron with nodular graphite on the outside and lamellar cast iron inside to ensure good running characteristics.
We have developed a special, patented process of sectional bimetallic casting. It involves casting an extremely wear-resistant material only in areas that will be under extreme wear and tear later in operation. The other cylinder running surface remains unaffected.
We regularly have our materials and production processes certified. Please find some of our certificates to download on the left.
