GISS, SEED, and SAG-method rely on temperature-controlled cooling, leading to variable parameters due to changes in melt chemistry. RheoMetal, however, uses an aluminium “ice cube” called EEM from the same melt, ensuring consistent slurry characteristics and stable production, essential for high-quality Rheocasting.
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.
When it comes to marketing, many foundries still take a “wait and hope” approach, waiting for the phone to ring instead of actively engaging with potential customers. Sure, you might attend a job fair or showcase your capabilities at events like Euroguss, but beyond that, communication often stops.
Why Content Marketing Matters
If you want to create open communication channels with your target audience, content marketing is the way forward. Content marketing is all about consistently putting out valuable content—whether it’s videos, texts, or images—that highlights the challenges your target group faces and demonstrates how your HPDC solutions can solve them.
Engaging Your Audience with Solutions
By addressing different aspects of your customers’ needs and presenting efficient alternatives to traditional methods, you can start meaningful conversations with decision-makers and designers. For example, showcasing how high-pressure die casting can replace machining blocks or welding extrusions opens the door to early collaboration and better integration into their processes.
Consistency Brings Results
Here’s the beauty of content marketing: it won’t deliver a new customer with every post, but over time, it will create a steady flow of opportunities. When you consistently provide insightful, problem-solving content, you reach the people who truly need what you offer, sometimes even before they realize there’s a better solution available.
Having been in content marketing for over two years, with more than 150 posts annually, I’ve seen firsthand how powerful it can be for building connections and driving business. If you’re ready to take your marketing to the next level, let’s connect on a Free Consultation Call down below.
