Casting

CanmetMATERIALS’ Innovative Casting group provides solutions to challenges in the casting of ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. The core capabilities of the group include melting, melt processing, casting methods and heat treatment. In addition to conventional melting and casting equipment, the casting lab has state-of-the-art pilot-scale facilities such as a high-pressure die casting cell with auxiliaries for aluminum and magnesium alloys, a twin-roll casting system for sheet casting, as well as a vacuum induction melting furnace capable of melting steel and titanium. The group provides experimental support to the modeling community by developing databases for the computational modeling of solidification.
