Constant refinement and improvement in motorsport
Working with motorsport manufacturers is a pleasure for our design engineers. There’s always a keen focus on engineering excellence, innovation and performance with pressure to refine the casting further each time. This bell housing for one of the UK’s leading race car manufacturers is sand cast in Aluminium casting alloy LM25TF (Heat Treated Casting to...
Heat Treatment of Castings
Heat treatment of castings is primarily used to alter the physical, and sometimes chemical, properties of the cast alloy. Many of the mechanical properties of both ferrous and non-ferrous alloys are determined by their microstructure. Heat treatment Is an efficient way of manipulating the crystalline structure of the alloy to modify its mechanical behaviour in...
