Whether you want to grow through Rheocasting, stronger digital communication, or both, schedule a Free Consultation today, and let’s discuss where Casting-Campus can support your business most effectively.
Learn how process stability, solid fraction, alloys, tooling adaptations, and limits of HPDC define where Rheocasting truly delivers value.
Discover how Rheocasting enhances the quality of compressor casting by minimizing shrinkage and porosity issues. This advanced casting process ensures leak-tight fuel systems and battery castings, reducing production waste and improving profitability. Learn more about utilizing Rheocasting for high-end CO2 compressors with the new F-Gas Ban.
Discover why over-reliance on automotive casting is risky. Join the Rheocasting Masterclass to unlock new markets and boost margins.
Comptech AB won the METEF Innovation Award and NADCA Casting of the Year 2022 for the Rivian hinge pillar, made with AlSi7Mg alloy using Rheocasting. This method avoids the high die wear typical in HPDC and delivers outstanding mechanical properties with a high solid fraction of 35-45%, achieving 170 MPa yield strength, 250 MPa ultimate tensile strength, and 10% elongation. The hinge pillar design reduces projected area by 50%, allowing smaller machine use, saving energy, and lowering hourly rates. Using the secondary alloy eccomelt356.2, the carbon footprint is minimized to 1.1 kg CO2 per kg Al, significantly less than the global average.
Discover how Rheocasting enables foundries to meet rising demands, enables new business, and offers cost savings in the die casting industry
