3 Advantages of Using Transmet Cast Aluminum Shot as a Thermally Conductive Filler: Increase thermal conductivity by as much as 450% Stronger bond with resins Excellent wet out Cast Epoxy Tooling manufacturers’ main concerns are part quality and cycle time. Adding Transmet Cast Aluminum…
Efficient Flash Removal Transmet was approached by a custom die caster that was having a tough time eliminating defects in the shot blasting process. Their media at the time was warping the casting; a common pain point for many die casters. Most conventional blasting…
Have you ever heard of Buckypaper, a material 500 times stronger than steel and ten times lighter? What about Lonsdaleite, a material formed when meteorites hit Earth? Below are the 10 strongest materials known to man: #10 Spiders’ Silk Darwin bark spiders’ silk…
Profiling Impact Extrusion Slugs Cast Aluminum Shot Transmet Cast Aluminum Shot is a long-lasting, low-dust blast media that has seen successful applications in profiling aluminum impact extrusion slugs. The shot is cast from aluminum ingot melted and centrifugally formed in a proprietary process….
Flash Rust on Castings Shot blasting of aluminum castings with steel shot can leave parts looking dull and dirty. Steel shot residue trapped on parts can also cause flash rust on castings. This leaves your castings with freckles of rust on the surface and in casting crevices….
Walter Tschinkel is an entomologist and former professor of Biological Science at Florida State University. He has devised an unusual and striking way to study ant colonies. He pours molten aluminum in them. After the aluminum cools the excavation begins and the resulting casting is…
