METHODING |
||
Before a pattern is ordered for a new casting, the design and casting method is investigated by our engineers using a computer simulation program. Novacast, Novaflow and Novasolid computer simulations are applied to all castings. When optimum result is achieved, the pattern is ordered either for a conventional or CAD-CNC assisted production. |

| SAND PREPARATION AND MOLDING | ||
| Akmetal uses
only a Alkali Phenoline resin bonded sand for moulding. This resin
is renown for best performance in steel castings resulting in
superior surface finish as well as minimizing surface defects. A 20 tph articulated, a 8 tph and a 3 tph fixed arm high speed chromite mixers deliver the ready mixed sand to the moulding bay. Ceramic hollowware and insulating sleeves are used throughout in the running and feeding of all castings.

| FETTLING | ||
| Shot Blast cabin, with twin turbine and 4 tons hook capacity
is used for fettling of castings. A send blasting unit is employed for heavier castings. Weld repair of casting is carried out by manual arc or MIG welding machine used by certified operator. Akmetal also employs a trained welding technician. With 0.19 kg welding rod consumption per ton steel casting delivered, Akmetal is surely in the group of leaders of this field. |
