ALLOYING AND VACUUM CASTING PROCESSES OFFER A VARIETY OF SOLUTIONS

Materion offers a variety of casting methods to ensure the right process is selected to meet the specifications and needs of our customers. Our alloying and casting processes are all performed in-house and are rigorously monitored by on-site laboratories. Casting methods are selected to produce specific and customized properties.

CASTING OPTIONS TO MEET YOUR UNIQUE NEEDS

Multiple considerations factor into the choice of casting method. Our alloying and casting experts can review your specific needs and recommend the best options for your product and process.
Materion’s casting options include:

• Static casting allows for flexible net shapes and sizes
• Vacuum casting ensures virtually void-free, ultra-high purity material
• Continuous casting (concasting), also allows for flexible net shapes and sizes, and is often the best-cost solution for high volumes
• Hot and cold rolling capabilities provide fine, equiaxed grains for superior thin film deposition
