Metallgjutning

Gjutning av metall innebär att en vanligtvis fast metall upphettas till smält tillstånd. Smältan hälls eller trycks därefter i en engångsform som skapas inför varje gjuttillfälle alternativt en permanent form som kan återanvändas flera gånger.
Efter att smältan stelnat så avlägsnas formen för att frilägga den färdiga detaljen.

Thixocasting

Process Forming process when an ingot is heated in an induction coil to the semi-solid state and then pressed into a preheated mold.

Thixomolding

Process Forming process where semi-solid metal is injected into a mold.

Unicasting

Process Casting method with a form created with silica gel and burned with a blowtorch to create favorable micro cracks and reduce impurities.

Warm chamber die casting

Process Forming process where a piston presses the molten metal through a preheated die into a chamber with high pressure and where the pressure is maintained until the metal has solidified.
