Exhibits

Welcome to our exhibits section, where we will be showcasing all the exciting innovations and technologies we will be exhibiting at GIFA 2023. Our exhibits have been carefully selected to highlight the latest advances in foundry technology and metallurgy, and we can't wait to share them with you.

In this section you will have the opportunity to browse each exhibit in detail, with detailed descriptions, images and videos to give you a full understanding of each display. Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that each exhibit is presented in a way that is both informative and visually appealing.

Our team of experts will be on hand to answer your questions and provide you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your foundry operations.

SEMCO FD/CC/FF coatings

The SEMCO family of coatings offers a range of features, which overcome the challenges traditionally associated with water-based coatings e.g. longer and more costly drying processes; reduced mould shop productivity, while improving the overall health and safety of foundries.

SEMCO IC coatings are designed to significantly improve the removal of casting debris from even the most complex of castings. In doing so, these coatings continue to set new standards when it comes to the ultra-low number of particles remaining in the as-cast condition.

The control, adjustment and preparation of coatings for foundries is the most important prerequisite for perfect castings without coating related defects. With the newly developed Continuous Intelligent Coating Unit, Foseco has set itself the task of eliminating such defects from the outset.

ACTICOTE TS coatings

ACTICOTE TS coatings enable foundries to not only improve the metallurgical properties of current castings, but also to think to the future. With this cutting-edge coating, foundries can look towards developing new, innovative designs where casting wall thickness can be minimised to reduce the total weight further, improving yield and reducing energy consumption.

ACTICOTE 3D coatings

The range of ACTICOTE 3D coatings support varied application methods, with rheological properties adapted for both dipping and flow coat applications. The selection of refractory filler combinations is also optimised depending on whether iron, steel or non-ferrous castings are being produced.

Crucibles and retorts

Foseco offers foundrymen and foundrywomen a complete range of silicon carbide and clay graphite crucibles, retorts and other specialised shapes for use in fuel fired, induction and electric resistance furnaces.

Die coatings for permanent mould die casting

DYCOTE permanent mould coatings are formulated to meet a wide variety of performance and production requirements such as insulation, durability, surface texture and lubricity. They are suitable for gravity and low pressure diecasting of aluminium and other non ferrous alloys.

Binders and moulding material

Foseco offer a broad range of mould and core binder systems such as synthetic resins, which are cured by the addition of a separate hardener or catalyst or inorganic binders based on sodium silicates that have been optimised to accommodate the varying casting processes, thus guaranteeing best performance.

Ferrous metal treatment

To improve the metallurgical performance of castings we are offering a package of consumables and equipment for the production of clean, reproducible metal quality and uniform microstructure in a range of ferrous alloys.
