A Design Study in Nickel-Aluminum Bronze                                        
Lessons Learned
Piad Foundry engineers worked in close collaboration with the Teleflex Morse system engineers to develop a component design which met the performance and quality standards and could be cast in a cost-effective, high-yield process.

Key "Lessons Learned" were

Brake Components
  • The "chill casting permanent mold" process is a critical technology in producing bronze castings with fine grain structure and high strength.

  • The cast-in steel tube produced a finished casting with reduced assembly costs and strong mechanical linkage between the casting and the tube.
