2013 CASTING COMPETITION: O'FALLON CASTING WINS CASTING OF THE YEAR

摘要

The elegant investment casting incorporates dozens of as-cast features and serves as a stunning example of what is possible in design. Bruce Willson, sales manager for O'Fallon Casting, O'Fallon, Mo., spends a lot of his time teaching current and potential customers how to design for the investment casting process. In the case of an electronics housing for the defense industry, the customer conducted a casting design lesson of its own. "I have been in the industry for close to 35 years and it is one of the finest designs I have ever seen," Willson said. "Every element of that casting serves some function and serves as a wonderful example for the capabilities of the investment casting process."
