Casting

For the production of castings, aluminium and Zamak ingots are used, purchased exclusively from leading companies in the sector that can ensure consistent product quality over time. 
 
- Aluminium alloys normally used (UNI EN AB- 46100 and UNI EN AB- 47100), are transformed to the liquid state by using two Striko Westofen melting basin furnaces.
These furnaces melt ingots while maintaining their original quality and make castings free from impurities and hard points.

The other alloys, depending on customer requirements, are melted in special tilting melting furnaces.

Before use, the aluminium is subjected to slagging and degassing treatment.
- The most used zinc alloys are:
Zamak 15 (ZnAl4Cu1) in both hot chamber presses and cold chamber presses. 
Zama27 (SiZin27 a zinc alloy with 27% aluminium) only in cold chamber presses.

In the "documents" section below, we report the technical/chemical data sheets of alloys most used by us.

The data related to mechanical characteristics are approximate and theoretical as they greatly depend on the shape of the casting and do not take potential air inclusion into account.
