The foundry process is highly sequential and is critically dependent on consistency of product quality and productivity optimisation. The conditioning of molten metal, the nature of the mould used and, especially, the design of the way metal flows into the mould are key parameters in a foundry, determining both the quality of the finished castings and the labour, energy and metal usage efficiency of the foundry. Fosecos’ products and associated services to foundries improve these parameters. Foseco offers a wide range of foundry consumables and equipment to meet the requirements of iron foundries, steel foundries and non-ferrous foundries.
Feeder sleeves and risers
Foseco’s feeding system products are designed to help foundry operators make sound castings for less money by controlling shrinkage and optimizing yield in iron, steel and aluminium applications.
Our sand mould and core coating products help foundry operators achieve the best available casting surface finishes at the highest possible level of operational efficiency.
The use of foundry filters is a guaranteed way to produce quality, cost effective castings. Foseco's foundry filters are designed and produced with the best inclusion reduction and flow control characteristics in the industry.
Aluminium foundries deal with a huge number of different alloys and use various processes to produce a variety of castings. To acknowledge this high diversity, Foseco has developed a wide range of products for the melt treatment of aluminium alloys.
The type of lining and flow control systems used can have a significant impact on the quality of the castings produced and many of the key operations and concerns within the foundry.
Foseco offers foundrymen and foundrywomen a complete range of silicon carbide and clay graphite crucibles, retorts and other specialised shapes for use in fuel fired, induction and electric resistance furnaces.
DYCOTE permanent mould coatings are formulated to meet a wide variety of performance and production requirements such as insulation, durability, surface texture and lubricity. They are suitable for gravity and low pressure diecasting of aluminium and other non ferrous alloys.
Foseco offer a broad range of mould and core binder systems such as synthetic resins, which are cured by the addition of a separate hardener or catalyst or inorganic binders based on sodium silicates that have been optimised to accommodate the varying casting processes, thus guaranteeing best performance.
To improve the metallurgical performance of castings we are offering a package of consumables and equipment for the production of clean, reproducible metal quality and uniform microstructure in a range of ferrous alloys.
In today’s demanding markets, simply having the best products means nothing without application expertise. This detailed understanding of foundry processes is supported by in-house engineering expertise, combined with the ability to generate accurate, dynamic simulations.
