ENGCAST Ltd

Services & Materials for the Aluminium & Die-Casting Industry

About

Energy efficiency and emissions reduction is a driving force towards electrification of future vehicles. Challenges faced are weight reduction and strength improvement. Aluminium is an ideal alternative to steel for weight reduction, however its unique characteristics require special processes of forming into quality products that are strong and flexible.

We are expert in High Pressure Die Cast HPDC and Low Pressure Die Cast LPDC processes for aluminium. We are a UK based company and have strong knowledge base and practical experience of materials, tooling, processes, machines and skills development in this specialist field. We can also provide skills in machine maintenance and process optimisation.

We specialise in managing and delivering on extreme schedules whether R&D, Quality or functional issues.

consumables

Gate/ Spru bushes; Our metallic bushes are made from our own unique martials that are long lasting and provide real unit cost reduction. These bushes have life of over 15K cycles, giving non-stop casting runs therefore no downtime for replacement. We can optimise bush design for thermal conductivity to suit any product.

Some of the largest auto makers use our bushes. Our unique manufacturing method means direct purchasing costs are highly competitive.

ゲートブッシュまたはチューカンストークは、長寿命でスペシャリストの素材から製造されていますが、コストはSKD61またはH13素材と同様です。 独自の製造技術により低コストで製造しています。 ホンダ、トヨタ、日産にチューカンストークを製造・供給しています。

Feeder boxes for Low Pressure Die Cast (LPDC) in variety of designs. Our boxes made from unique ferrous materials that are resistant to attack from molten aluminium. Option of specialist thermal sprayed ceramics and replaceable wear parts. These boxes are fraction in cost of conventional machined units. From drawing to delivery within 6 weeks is possible.

Our unique patented design of Extreme life Riser Tubes and Stalks, combining strength and durability yet low in cost. Made to your design, these riser tubes use high tech materials in combination with special steels and do not require flange assembly. Our design is leak proof even if its components are damaged or cracked. cast product quality is never compromised. Any size and shape is possible.

LPDCマシン用に特許取得済みの新しい設計のライザーチューブを製造しています。 これらのチューブは、鋼の強度とセラミックの品質を備えています。 鋳造品質はセラミッククラックの影響を受けません。 セラミックが破損しても空気漏れはありません。 フランジは、ライザーチューブの設計に統合されており、フランジ内にシールがなく、損傷することなく機械的負荷をかけることができます。 これらのチューブは、窒化ケイ素チューブの価格の半分未満です。
