Casting of (special) alloys by various techniques

Listing Description

Our state-of-the-art facilities enable the melting of metals and alloys under ultra-pure conditions, achieving exceptionally high solidification rates in the casting process. Additionally, our advanced systems are designed to handle reactive and high-temperature alloys with outstanding precision—withstanding temperatures of up to 2,200°C. Precision engineering for superior material quality!
