AMPCOLOY® 940: Safe, High-Performance Sand-Casting Alloy

How to form complex castings with sand molds Sand casting is a process that utilizes non-reusable sand molds to form metal castings. On one hand, casting is a deceptively simple manufacturing process: anyone who has formed castles at the beach knows sand can be used to make detailed shapes. Howeve

AMPCO® 25 is a patented alloy which displays outstanding mechanical properties. The extreme hardness, linked with an excellent compressive strength and very good friction properties, makes it ideal as a forming and drawing die material. As the elongation of the material is nil, thin sections should

AMPCO® 22 is a duplex structure alloy of approx. 50 % of each phase - gamma 2 and beta. It is remarkable because of its hardness, its excellent compression and wear resistance and by its sliding properties. As the elongation of the material is very low, thin sections should be avoided and the materi

The exceptional wear and fatigue resistance of this alloy results from a controlled duplex alpha and beta phase. This alloy has high strength combined with good ductility and unusual toughness. The physical characteristics of this alloy can be varied by heat treatments (AMPCO® 18.22, 18.23 and 18.13
