Abstract

The system saw additional improvements in mold hardness. "These machines have the capability to squeeze at 1200 psi," [Mike Northup] said. "The old system's maximum was 750 psi. This feature has had a positive impact on casting finish and reduces the effects of mold wall movement." Because of this reduction in wall movement, the firm achieves a "closer-to-print nominal" casting.
