Performance Improvement

Casting technology provides near-net shape fabricability,
which can be used to improve performance

• System engineers and Grede engineers improved the durability in the castings by avoiding stress concentrations, compared to the original welded assembly.

• The improvement was achieved through the elimination of welded joints and the generous use of fillets and radii to reduce stress concentrations at corners and joints
