In this approach, the steel tube is positioned in
the mold and the component is cast directly around the tube.
The steel tube is carefully cleaned prior to
casting.
The tube is
precisely positioned in the mold
The
solidification shrinkage of the casting provides a strong clamping force between the tube
and the casting
The "Cast-In" approach gives a strong, precise, reliable
shrink/mechanical fit between the tube and the casting with no machining or fitting costs. |
