Objectives
Advancing Metals TechnologyContinuous casting R&D facilities for hire
■ Test casting of new alloy compositions
■ Experimenting with new tooling designs & continuous casting techniques
■ Investigation of new process production sequences
■ Sample manufacture to develop process route and confirm quality of end product
■ Extensive analysis & testing facilities available
■ To shorten manufacturing process route
■ To reduce capital cost of equipment to produce end product
■ To minimise operating cost per tonne
■ To achieve higher quality product & tighter alloy tolerance control
■ To reduce “critical mass” production volume requirements
