Waupaca铸造 Converts Steel Weldments to 太阳城官网

Conversion from steel to cast iron benefits cost, quality, performance

OEMs and their Tier 1 suppliers are continually challenged with reducing supply chain risk and driving down cost without sacrificing quality or delivery. Converting a steel weldment to an iron 铸造 is often a smart, 为制造商节省成本的选择.

Conversion to iron 铸造 allows for more precise consistency and replication compared to steel weldments, 增强功能, 配合及表现. A steel fabrication converted to a single 韧性 iron or gray iron 铸造 allows manufacturers to replace several weldment parts with a single cast iron part that is both stronger and lighter. 它还简化了装配, 能减少或消除加工吗, 同时也降低了人力和物流成本.

Additional benefits of converting welded parts to an iron 铸造:

Improve part durability and wear performance
Eliminate parts gap , warping and welding defects
Simplify assembly through scheduling and decreased labor time
Reduce parts inventory and cut administrative costs

Knowing when to switch to a 铸造 is a collaborative effort. Waupaca铸造 works together with the OEM and machining supplier to determine possible areas for cost reduction and quality improvements through weldment conversion to iron 铸造. Foundry engineers can proactively evaluate the new iron components with MAGMA® iron flow and Arena-flow® core sand simulation models before tooling is built to confirm production part feasibility, 质量和性能.
