Issue Highlights:
Melting of copper and copper alloy chips
Channel furnaces are preferentially used for inductive melting of copper materials because of their electrical efficiency being some 20 % better and the resulting lower energy consumption.
Energy costs in foundry almost halved
Automotive suppliers worldwide rely on the well-proven melting furnace technology from StrikoWestofen from Gummersbach, Germany, for the production of their cast parts.
Highly efficient processing aids
The continuous improvement of die lubricants to today’s high quality, specialized processing aids reflect the changes in process parameters of the die casting industry.
