Benefits of combicore inlay tubes
Channels are traditionally made with either sliders, by drilling, with thick inlay tubes of steel or with cores of salt, glass or sand.
Innovative combicore cores offer numerous production-oriented, ecological and economical advantages:
-
Combicore cores are highly stable and suitable for the pressure casting:
Combicore cores endure mechanical forces. It is the first time that aluminum tubes can be used in the pressure casting with a cast pressure of more than 1,000 bar. Conventional sand cores are not applicable with pressure casting. - The tube material is compatible to the melt:
Combicore aluminum tubes are very convenient for pressure casting and magnesium casting for example.
In addition to that rejects can be easier recycled than before. - Combicore inlay tubes allow a near end outline casting and a consequent light-weight construction:
The fact that design engineers have to commit to straight processing axels is not applicable anymore as there is no drilling needed. The closing of not needed wholes is omitted. Tridimensional, curved hollow spaces are just molded. A thin tube wall thickness can be chosen.
The broad scope of design offers an efficient material usage to the design engineers.
The finished cast piece is remarkably lighter. The cored cores allow a consequent light-weight construction.
Regarding the feasible channel form with a low resistance of flow it can be expected that the pressure drop in the operation is low. - The molded channel is easy to draw and clean:
Water and high pressure are already sufficient with most applications to lift the channel within the cycle time. As an alternative we developed other drawing procedures that we are happy to adapt to your requirements. - Production with high quantities:
Combicore inlay tubes are predestined for high quantities and are also qualified for series production. - Multi-purpose usage in different applications is possible.
