Thermal Management

Rheocasting Strategy Development

The industry is at a breaking point. The automotive industry is undergoing a significant transformation at low sales numbers, driven by the rise of electric vehicles and the implementation of gigacastings. With this trend the vehicle’s aluminium weight increases, but at the same time, the part numbers plummet. The small DCMs are running out of work as the powertrain parts are no longer needed with electrification, and structural castings are integrated into large castings.

A new approach to the market with a new spectrum of castings is required. You need to define a strategy for profitable growth in your foundry. Thermal Management is just one possible way into the future. Casting-Campus GmbH helps you find your personalised strategy into the future.

It is the right time for your foundry to target Thermal Management

Everything around us is controlled by some form of electronics. With higher complexity, computing power has to increase. Therefore, the heat output increases, so it has to be cooled. That is the job of a heat sink, which works by heat conduction.

Everything around us is controlled by some form of electronics. With higher complexity, computing power has to increase. Therefore, the heat output increases, so it has to be cooled. That is the job of a heat sink, which works by heat conduction.

Whereas the skiving, milling, and extrusion heat sinks can work with pure aluminium to ensure the highest heat conductivity, HPDC is typically limited to high silicon alloys (AlSi7 or higher) to ensure castability. These HPDC alloys reach a maximum of 150 W/mK with a heat treatment. Also, the low castability of these HPDC alloys leads to a low fin density and higher thickness. This bottlenecks the heat dissipation and makes the heat output of the next-generation electronics unusable.

In Rheocasting, castability is not defined by the silicon content. Therefore, you can use an AlSi2 alloy and reach heat conductivities of up to 198 W/mK. That is close to pure aluminium, which has 225 W/mK without the expensive production processes. And the whole casting is done with a 100% secondary alloy. So, the sustainability aspect is also covered!

Rheocasting offers full functional integration capabilities for the hot spots of the circuit boards. You’re also fully flexible in the application. Whether you want to cast 5G or 6G antennas, server heat sinks, or water-cooled PSU boxes, Rheocasting can do it!

Our Approach: Tailored Strategies for Lasting Impact

At Casting-Campus GmbH, we understand that each foundry is unique, with its own set of challenges, goals, and resources. That's why we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. Thermal Management is just one of many applications without competition from other foundries. There are way more exciting and profitable applications waiting for your foundry

Our expert works closely with you to assess your specific targets and develop a customized Rheocasting strategy tailored to your foundry’s requirements. Each foundry has a different utilization depending on the machine size and preferred customers for their solutions.

Comprehensive Assessment

We start by thoroughly evaluating your current operations, capabilities, and market positioning. This assessment forms the foundation of our strategic recommendations

Strategic Planning

Based on our assessment, we collaborate with your team to develop a detailed roadmap for integrating Rheocasting into your operations. From technology adoption to process optimization, we provide clear and actionable steps to maximize your success.

Content Creation

Developing a new market for your foundry requires strategically targeting the right people. A content-based social media strategy unlocks potential that goes beyond new customers. Think about attracting the best talents in the industry.

Training and Education

Empowering your team is essential for long-term success. We provide comprehensive training programs tailored to your staff's needs, equipping them with the knowledge and skills required to excel in the Rheocasting environment.

Working with Casting-Campus GmbH is a different Experience

One of the biggest hurdles to hiring a consultant is the unpredictability of costs. As a consultant, you earn more money the more time you need to complete your tasks. As the hiring company, you want results that are as quick as possible. So, there is a misalignment of interests, which causes a lot of friction.

That doesn’t happen with Casting-Campus GmbH as your consultant. We removed the friction and misalignment of interests. When you hire us, you pay a flat monthly fee for our remote Rheocasting Strategy Development. It is like the Netflix of Knowledge.

We share your interests. We want to quickly provide you with the best solutions while maintaining the highest quality levels. In addition, you can predict your project costs exactly. It is a perfect match!

You can cancel the service anytime if we don’t deliver the expected quality, but we will deliver outstanding comprehensive services because we want to have a long-lasting partnership that accelerates your success.

As a remote consulting service, there is occasionally a need for on-site visits. The monthly fee does not cover these visits for customer meetings, exhibitions, and workshops. But, even as a Netflix subscriber, you must pay for their studio tour. It is the same for this business model. We have to charge for that if you want us on-site. But as a partner, you get a discounted rate.
