During the forming of molten metals such as aluminum, magnesium, zinc and copper-based alloys, casting tools are subjected to extreme conditions. Materials used for such applications require above all resistance to:

• Corrosion
• Thermal shock
• Erosion and abrasion

PLANSEE molybdenum and tungsten alloys meet these requirements and have other suitable properties for casting processes such as high thermal conductivity and a low thermal expansion coefficient.

PLANSEE USA Supplies:

• Complete tools and tool inserts (gravity and pressure die casting, ingot moulding)
• Thermocouple protection tubes
• Pump components (molten metal transport)
• Dosing devices
