Rheocasting

Rheocasting is like casting Pocket Warmers

Latent heat is key in Rheocasting! Like pocket warmers, Rheocasting slurries release latent heat during solidification, keeping the melt hotter for longer. This is perfect for long flow lengths in gigacasting, ensuring higher quality by maintaining melt front temperature and feedability. Discover the magic of Rheocasting today!
