Market DevelopmentFoundry Materials
UTSC supplies materials used across foundry production. Product selection depends on the metal being cast, equipment, operating practice, metallurgical requirements and required casting performance.
Refractory Materials
Materials for melting, holding, ladles, transfer, pouring and other foundry applications.
Recarburizers
High-sulfur and low-sulfur carbon additives for ferrous melting and carbon adjustment.
FeSiMg & Inoculants
Metallurgical treatment materials for ductile and grey iron production.
Ferrosilicon
Silicon-bearing alloy material for ferrous foundry processes.
Steel Shots
Metallic blasting media for casting cleaning and surface preparation.
Understanding the Production Process
A technical recommendation must consider the full production environment. UTSC reviews the material, process, equipment and casting requirement together.
- Metal & Metallurgy
- Metal grade, base and target chemistry, treatment practice and required casting properties.
- Melting
- Furnace type, charge practice, temperature, melt conditions and relevant operating parameters.
- Moulding & Cores
- Moulding process, core system, materials and their interaction with the casting.
- Pouring
- Pouring temperature, pouring time, transfer conditions and operating practice.
- Casting
- Geometry, section thickness, critical areas, defect location and required properties.
- Materials & Finishing
- Current consumables, refractory systems, additions, cleaning, shot blasting and required surface condition.
