REQUIREMENT: 
The customer needed to reduce the cost and to improve the wear characteristics of parts made previously as grey iron castings. In addition, the customer sought better impact 
resistance. 

WHY MICRO METALSMITHS?
  • Investment castings give a very substantial saving on machining costs due to the close tolerance capability of the MM casting process.
  • MB1 Silicon Brass gives a good impact resistance and has low wear characteristics compared with what is achievable through the use of cast iron.
  • The change to the MM casting process gives a much lower rate of failure of machines in the field. Both our customer and the eventual user of the printing machine benefited through the lowering of down-time.
