The latter method has not caught on here, but widely used in Europe. For small amounts of casting method can be used in non-ferrous casting plaster combined form and method of investment casting. Aluminum castings made of cast alloys. Purification of aluminum alloys using flux and ceramic foam filters from.
These products a huge range of applications. Aluminium castings are used in electric motors as aircraft parts, etc. The main sectors of application are automotive manufacturing and construction. The main advantage of which are aluminum castings - a corrosion resistance and lightness. Provided the additional processing surface of the product with metal problems are excluded.
