The 7 Steps to Rheocasting Success

Don’t read further if you’re already struggling with overcapacity and massive margins.

For everyone else, the situation in the foundry world has become difficult. The automotive industry is going through a major structural crisis, volumes are dropping, and the price pressure on new HPDC projects keeps tightening. Many foundries are seeing their production lines run out of profitable products, and relying on traditional high-pressure die casting alone is no longer enough to maintain a healthy business.

At the same time, customers are increasingly demanding components that are lighter, stronger, leak-tight, more complex, more reliable and more efficient to produce. This creates a gap between what the market needs and what many foundries can currently deliver with conventional processes.

Rheocasting closes that gap. The combination of market pressure and technological opportunity sets the stage for change. The question is no longer whether the industry is shifting; it already has. The real question is: how do you respond, and how do you secure new profitable products for your foundry?

What do you need to do to get new profitable products?

1. Find the right business case for your foundry:
   You need to identify applications where Rheocasting creates real technical and economic advantages.
   
   

2. Market your solution for this application:
   Once you know where Rheocasting fits, you need to position your foundry as the right partner for that product.
   
   

3. Start the development process with your customer:
   Winning business requires guiding the customer from the first concept to manufacturability.
   
   

4. Implement the advantages of Rheocasting:
   To make Rheocasting work in practice, you must apply the fundamental principles of semi-solid processing.
   
   

5. Trial Casting and first sampling:
   Before you can enter production, you need to validate the process with trial castings.
   
   

6. Implement the Slurrymaker in your foundry:
   The last step is the investment to integrate the Slurrymaker, the equipment that prepares the semi-solid slurry.
   
   

7. Start series production:
   Once everything is validated, you can begin full series production.

How do you do that exactly?

To learn how to do it, you need to sign up for the Rheocasting Masterclass. The Masterclass provides the technical, strategic, and practical knowledge required to evaluate applications, win business, develop components, implement the process, and successfully produce semi-solid parts in series.

It is designed for foundries, engineering teams, application developers, and decision-makers who want to secure new profitable products and differentiate themselves in a shifting industry.
