Sarginsons is an aluminium foundry that uses advanced technology to solve casting challenges, opening a door to the huge, unrealised potential of liquid metal engineering. A whole new world of efficiencies.
Sarginsons has reinvented lightweighting with it's ground breaking topological optimisation studies. It has revolutionised casting design with its digital twin simulations. And it is developing new recycled alloys, new heat treatment techniques, new casting software and better Tooling. There is no aspect of casting technology that Sarginsons isn't reinventing to find better solutions.
No other aluminium foundry comes close.
Traditional castings in aerospace are finally a possibility. Sand, Gravity or Low Pressure casting present, thanks to advances pioneered by Sarginsons in generative design and metallurgical processing, numerous opportunities for massive reductions in costs and weight in aerospace components.
In being able to accurately simulate and predict TYE mechanical strength, at any point across a components form, Sarginsons can really exploit the extraordinary ability of topological optimisation to shed mass or to enhance mechanical performance.
Increasing TYE mechanical performance, even in sand cast prototypes, is a Sarginsons speciality. A whole range of novel technologies covering every aspect of the casting process can be deployed.
Casting has massive potential for cost reductions. It starts with great component design but there's a multitude of other avenues of attack. One thing is certain though, the best place to drive it, is the Sarginsons foundry.
Industrialising castings, whose prototypes are made using different processes, is challenging. Sarginsons makes the process easier by being able to cast prototypes with the same mechanical characteristics as production components. A real advantage.
Sarginsons remedies problems in existing castings, by using its unique digital twin technology to virtually test multiple design iterations without affecting production.
It is simply not possible to design a casting with optimum cost or performance characteristics, without Sarginsons unique Digital Twin Simulation, Topological Optimisation or Design for Manufacture services. So why not use it?
To address the issue of supply chain resilience, Sarginsons has developed a virtual solution that enables emergency, short run casting, without the administrative burden and costs of dual sourcing.
Merging components into a one-piece casting is common sense. Sarginsons unique ability to simulate mechanical performance allows it to lightweight larger castings, without any overengineering.
In only using hydroelectric aluminium, Sarginsons is a low carbon foundry, but it's ability to refine the grain structure of recycled aluminium using rare earths will make it the lowest carbon foundry in the world.
Liquid Metal can take any shape but, making it functional requires the most advanced casting technology available. Tackling areas like refined grain structures, manipulated elongation whilst accommodating seemingly infinite variables is complex and demanding, but possible.
