METAL INJECTION MOULDING

METAL INJECTION MOULDING

It is a method of making alloy castings in which the alloy takes the shape of the casting by quickly filling the mould at high pressures ranging from 7 to 700 MPa. The method is used for non-ferrous alloys (zinc-based, aluminium, copper, magnesium, tin-lead alloy) because of their low melting point. We have state-of-the-art metal injection moulding facilities at our disposal. The purpose of these machines is to produce spring-assembled wheel weights.

With injection moulding, we achieve good mould filling, a high surface finish of the castings and greater dimensional accuracy. In addition, the production cycle for the casting is significantly reduced, making complex and reinforced parts less time-consuming and costly to produce.

• The hot-chamber injection moulding machine allows the casting of weights from lead alloys with a total product weight of 5 to 60 grams, with a specific casting pressure of 35 bar.
• Another hot chamber machine allows for the casting of lead and zinc alloy weights with a total product weight (for Zn and Pb) of 5 to 100 g and an operating pressure of 140 bar.

• Wheel Balancing Weights from 5 grams to 100 grams designed for mounting on rims of formed and cast rims with wheel sizes from 13" to 20".
