CastCon is a new manufacturing approach capable of
producing parts with a wide variety of sizes, shapes,
materials and structural characteristics. The mechanical
properties of CastCon parts can be as good as those of
wrought materials. Applications of D7 Tool Steel Excellent wear resistance, used for making dies, molds, tools, rolls, and knives. |
