First Japanese foundry to install SinterCast process control technology

摘要

Toa Koki Co. Ltd. will be the first Japanese foundry to install SinterCast Ltd.'s process control technology for compacted graphite iron (CGI) production, following an order for the developer's Mini-System 3000.The developer said that this installation brings the possibility for it to raise its involvement in series production of components other than automotive cylinder blocks and heads. Presently, those products represent about 15% of SinterCast's series production volume.SinterCast developed and supplies process control technology for producing CGI and its systems are in use by automakers and their suppliers, and industrial engine manufacturers worldwide. It indicates the process is being used for series production of over 46 CGI components ranging in size from 2 kg to 17 metric tonnes.
