The CSM capability on Special Alloys and Melting Technologies is focused on four main areas: “Ingot Manufacturing” , “Investment Casting”, “Powder Metallurgy ” and “Rapid Prototyping & Tooling”.
Its related technological offer concerns the following items:
• Metallurgical and process development of new alloys (also in the form of metallurgical powders), process materials and thermal treatments.
• Study and modelling of solidification mechanisms of materials (Sw: Thermocalc, Procast, ecc.), and simulation of the industrial processes of solidification.
Development of new “Near-Net-Shape” products and manufacturing of prototypes.
• Manufacturing and sale of special materials ingots obtained through melting and remelting furnaces as VIM, VAR, PERS.
• Stereolitographic and laser-sintered functional Models.
Resin models fabrication for aesthetic evaluations, funtional tests and lost wax foundry.
Sintered products from metallic powders.
Metallic or epoxy resin inserts for plastics moulding and wax injection dies.
The CSM foundry can handle all the kind of materials, a part the Magnesium and Titanium alloys.
