The successful manufacturing of structural<br />
components consisting of ductile<br />
iron castings and steel parts joined by<br />
welding opens up great potential for<br />
innovative light-weighting solutions.<br />
Production at Franken Guss<br />
The iron foundry can produce castings<br />
from all types of cast iron, i.e. ductile<br />
iron, grey cast iron and compacted graphite<br />
cast iron. It is equipped with three<br />
mechanized and automated molding<br />
lines. With this highly advanced equipment,<br />
near-net-shape geometries can<br />
be produced and the implemented data<br />

infrastructure assures stable production<br />
processes. Automated DISA molding<br />
lines operate in conjunction with<br />
laser-controlled “Pouromat” pouring<br />
equipment.<br />
The main alloys used in the aluminium<br />
foundry are EN-AC-AlSi9Cu3 (Fe),<br />
EN-AC- AlSi 10Mg (Fe) and EN-AC-AlSi<br />
12 (Cu). Twelve pressure casting cells are<br />
in place, operating in conjunction with<br />
robots which pick up the castings from<br />
the molds and transfer them via the<br />
flash trimming press to the transport<br />
unit. The biggest casting cell has a<br />
