Gigacasting / megacasting

New manufacturing technologies such as giga- and megacasting are revolutionising the automotive
industry. Instead of multiple individual parts, complex structural components are now
produced in a single casting. Aluminium alloys are used to manufacture components that are
bigger, more lightweight, yet resilient. These processes promise to reduce weight, boost performance
and help ensure safety in future vehicles.

Características y requisitos de mecanizado
  • 壁の厚みは2~5 mmです。
  • 新開発のアルミニウム合金により 流動特性が向上
  • 大型部品の寸法 (長さ160cm×幅160cm×高さ130cm)
  • 接合面への要求面粗度
  • 直径公差±0.05 mmまたは5±50 μm

  • 深い加工輪郭
  • 穴出口にキャップを生成しない低バリ加工
  • バリを低減したミーリング加工
  • 異なる穴径の加工
  • 非生産時間が長くなり、異なる加工工程間の 移動距離の延長
  • 切削圧力が低いため、部品が変形しやすい
  • 長い張り出しにより振動の影響を受けやすい
  • MQL潤滑とアルミ合金
