We were thrilled to host our Italian distributors Simar Srl recently, and demonstrate the capability of the SuperCast AP5. Our distributor has an end-customer in the Material Research and Testing industry, who needs to be able to melt and cast ferrous powder. We were able to show the suitability of the SuperCast AP5 for this challenging application. With its high [...]
A Guide to Casting Platinum with EasyCast
This guide shows the process for Casting Platinum using an Ultraflex EasyCast system. The EasyCast system is a centrifugal injection casting system with a maximum melting temperature of 2000°C. It can be equipped with an optional vacuum pump and gas argon atmosphere to fully protect the workpiece from oxidation and can be configured with an optional IR temperature reader. The [...]
New Application Test – Soldering Pins to a PCB
For this Application Test, our customer needed a new process to attach copper pins to a small PCB assembly, due to a material change of the pins. We used the UPT-SB3 induction system, which operates up to 1 MHz, and is ideal for very small components. Our results showed that we can do the process 3 times faster than the [...]
New Ultraflex Application Test – Hot Forming Steel Cable
This hot forming steel cable application is a great fit for induction heat. For cables, there are additional factors to consider when heating with induction. If the cable manufactured very tightly with large strands of wire, the cable may behave similar to a solid cylinder when heated, which is very efficient. However, a loosely assembled cable with small wires, will behave [...]
