Mineral Casting is not just an alternative to traditional castings and steel structures; it has become the preferred material for many precision-driven machines.

Also known as artificial granite, mineral castings offer exceptional vibration-damping properties, high dimensional accuracy, corrosion resistance, low expansion coefficient, and low thermal conductivity. They also feature low moisture absorption, excellent electrical insulation, and anti-magnetic properties. With its versatility, fast processing times, strong reparability, and seamless integration with various materials, mineral casting has gained worldwide recognition among design engineers. It is now a key structural material in high-precision machinery globally and is poised to replace cast iron and natural granite in the future.

1. Vibration Analysis

The  Ability to Absorb Vibration:

Our products are designed with the latest technology, providing a higher vibration attenuation rate and an impressive capacity for absorbing vibrations in comparison to traditional cast iron materials. This technology helps us provide products that are more reliable, longer lasting and, ultimately, more cost-effective.

4. Gouging Performance

Test Methods: Under the same parameters and tools, try cutting a 100*100 square aluminum piece. Afterward, repeat the positioning of the frame and top surface of the square aluminum part several times at different speeds, and test the overcut of the x, y, and z axes

5. Thermal Elongation Test

Test Methods: The test method involves directly connecting the mineral casting Y-axis for evaluation. At a feed rate of F4000, measure the pressure gauge readings during the repeated reciprocating motion of the Y-axis.

Molding and Integration Ability of Complex Shapes

There are differences in the process flow and material properties of traditional cast iron, mineral castings cast various in complex shapes that cannot be cast by traditional cast iron. The more complex shapes can also be achieved by using special adhesives to bond mineral castings, to obtain ideal shapes. Mineral castings have a solid ability to integrate, such as pipes, shapes, guide rails, cables, oil pipes, air pipes, connectors, etc. that convey cutting fluids can be cast into mineral castings, saving users a lot of assembly and machining time, significantly improving the user's production efficiency and economic benefits.

SUMMARY
