Casting simulation in Elektron® magnesium alloys for aerospace
The demand for lightweight and durable materials has never been higher. Luxfer MEL Technologies, the industry leader in magnesium alloys, has emerged as a key innovator in providing turnkey solutions for the manufacture of super lightweight magnesium components.
What sets Luxfer MEL Technologies apart is our commitment to offering comprehensive solutions, from design consultation to the implementation of state-of-the-art corrosion-resistant coatings to the diverse range of finished components for our customers.
Casting simulation at Luxfer MEL Technologies
Since establishing casting simulation at Luxfer MEL Technologies, we’ve collaborated with customers around the world on over fifty individual projects. Partnering with teams on optimising our support, enabling us to correlate parameters between our simulation setup to individual real-world foundries for maximum accuracy in our work.
Here at Luxfer MEL Technologies, with the use of our own unique, internally generated datasets of Elektron®21, Elektron®RZ5 and other alloys, we pride ourselves on being able to generate highly accurate casting simulation results.
We’ve invested a considerable amount time and resource developing the datasets to be highly accurate, compared to alternative datasets in public domain. This also allows us to utilise and understand the result parameters with greater confidence.
What does the aerospace simulation team at Luxfer MEL Technologies do?
The AAC simulation team at Luxfer MEL Technologies uses the powerful simulation tool, MAGMASoft to support customers throughout world in both Traditionally Poured (Gravity) and Differential Pressure Sand Casting (DPSC) systems.
Our team takes great pride in working alongside and providing unique, specialised technical support to our valued Aerospace and Automotive customers. Through the use of casting simulation of our Elektron® magnesium alloys, we strive to reach the common goal of creating the best quality product.
