CUTTING Production COSTS BY 75% WITH Adjust Chemical Composition
When a leading die casting manufacturer needed to modify an existing crucible, they enlisted the help of Hengchang.
The required adjust the chemical compostion to increase the life of cast iron crucible. In order to achieve this, we considered to add the alloy composition.
After taking time to clearly understand the actual application , Hengchang’s engineers went to work formulating a solution. First, samples of the existing component were examined to ensure that suitable resin sand castings could be produced.
Next, Hengchang’s design team and in-house adjust the raw materil. Production samples were then delivered for testing and the first heat resistant cast iron crucible was cast.
The Production Manager continued “we are delighted with our decision to work with Hengchang. The new parts offer assured quality and have enabled us to achieve significant cost reductions. Where the old crucible usually 1 week life time, the new version actually is extended to 4 weeks . As a result, the resin sand castings have enabled us to reduce machining costs by around 75%”.
