We achieved weight reduction, corrosion resistance, and total cost reduction of parts by using iron material molds for aluminum castings.
The necessary strength can be secured and the weight of the product can be reduced through the composite (cast-in) technology of aluminum castings and iron (cast iron). Additionally, by applying molten aluminum plating to the iron core material, the corrosion resistance performance can also be significantly improved.

basic information
The product in the photo is an example where the weight was reduced from 1.2 kg to 0.6 kg by using cast iron for the screw structure that requires strength, and surrounding it with aluminum casting. Additionally, by applying a molten aluminum coating with a heat resistance temperature of 800°C to the cast iron screw part, significant improvement in corrosion resistance of the cast iron is achieved.
