FOSECO: Die-coatings increase operating life

摘要

Foseco from Borken in Germany reports that its latest range of Dycote Safeguard die-coatings increase die operating life by up to 3 times compared to conventional coatings. This new range of die coatings has been developed specifically to maximize the service life and maintain surface quality for critical aluminium components such as aluminium wheels and cylinder heads. Poor die coating service life leads to reduced productivity and increases the risk of rejects due to poor casting surface quality. Foseco's Dycote Safeguard products are nano-ceramic coatings designed to be applied on top of existing insulating Dycote base coatings. Best results are achieved when applied using the Foseco Dycote Spraygun which ensures a very consistent and uniform coating layer application.
