Copper and bronze are two of the most popular and widely used materials for many applications ranging from consumer goods to automotive and aerospace components. In many cases, both materials can be melted and poured into molds to create complex shapes and designs. But when it comes to products that require precision and consistent results, the use of a casting system such as a brass pour-and-hold system is often the best choice.
Brass pour-and-hold systems make use of a combination of an induction melting furnace and a controlled swivel pouring head to accurately fill molds with molten brass or bronze. The induction melting furnace quickly melts the brass or bronze to the desired liquid temperature and provides a highly uniform and consistent liquid temperature to the pouring head. The pouring head is then precisely controllable to accurately fill molds with the molten metal with minimal turbulence.
The combination of a precise pour-and-hold system and an induction melting furnace ensures superior casting results. Since the pouring head can achieve precise pouring accuracy, molds are consistently filled with molten metal with minimal turbulence and surfaces are often smooth and free from defects. The induction melting furnace also is able to heat up metals quickly, allowing for reduced cycle times and higher throughput. Furthermore, repeatable results can be achieved without the need for extensive tooling adjustments, making production faster and more efficient.
Brass and bronze are essential materials for many industries and applications. Brass and bronze pour-and-hold systems offer the perfect solution for casting these materials in a precise and consistent manner. Thanks to the combination of precise control of the pouring head and the uniform temperatures achieved by the induction melting furnace, complex shapes and designs can be achieved with superb accuracy and repeatability. In addition, the use of a brass and bronze pour-and-hold system also drastically reduces cycle time and improves throughput, making it an ideal choice for large-scale production runs.
