[Case Studies of Aluminum Castings] Comparison and Reduction Examples of Machining Costs and Core Product Costs

"I want to flatten it and make a hole!" Introduction of a case that adopted a core that can reduce unit costs.

We would like to introduce a comparison of machining costs and core product costs, along with an example of cost reduction. Customers considering the production of moderately sized cast components require a flat surface on the component side for installation onto the structural surface. Due to the high costs associated with machining for this size, they sought advice on finding a better method to reduce unit costs. In response, we established a core designed to create a flat surface that matches the size of the cast component and conducted a comparison of machining costs. We also set a cylindrical projection for φ holes on the core. As a result, a core was adopted that allowed for cost savings compared to machining and hole processing. [Challenges] ■ Considering the production of moderately sized cast components, a flat surface is required on the component side for installation onto the structural surface. ■ Due to high costs associated with machining for this size, they are looking for a better method to reduce unit costs. ■ Since the installation method involves bolt fastening, they would also like to reduce the cost of φ hole processing if possible. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
