During the injection of molten metals such as aluminium, magnesium, zinc and copper-based alloys, casting tools are subjected to extreme conditions. Materials used for such applications require above all resistance to
Corrosion
Thermal shock
Erosion and abrasion
PLANSEE molybdenum and tungsten alloys meet these requirements and have other suitable properties for casting processes such as high thermal conductivity and low expansion coefficient.
PLANSEE Tungsten Alloys supplies:
Complete tools and tool inserts (gravity and pressure diecasting, ingot moulding)
Thermocouple protection tubes
Pump components (molten metal transport)
Dosing devices
