Aerospace is Casting's New Frontier
Sarginsons ability to create accurate digital twin simulations of cast performance, alongside it's ability to negate oxide and iron contamination (even in recycled aluminium), enables it to offer structural, geometrically, complex castings for use in any Aerospace application. This is a huge breakthrough that will drive serious financial economies.
Further, the Foundry 2030 research project, with the Aerospace Technology Institute, concluded that even a high stress and workload component, such as a wing flap roller, would offer similar performance to current designs but with a 30% reduction in mass. Physical testing of the wing flap roller confirmed simulated projections.
The potential for lightweighting through greater use of traditional castings in aerospace, including UAVs, is absolutely colossal. And one, Sarginsons, with its specialisation in lightweight, low porosity, high ductility aluminium castings, is perfectly placed to develop.
