Summary
The Institute of Metal Technology offers consumers technology and/or equipment for continuous horizontal casting of billets from cast iron and non-ferrous alloys for the required range of cast billets under a commercial agreement with technical assistance and/or manufacturing agreement, and is also looking for partners interested in upgrading existing equipment, developing new technological processes under a technical cooperation agreement.
Description
Scope of application - production of profile blanks of various sizes from gray and high-strength cast iron, copper-based alloys for parts used in foundry, forging and metal-cutting equipment, hydraulic equipment, etc.
There is significant potential for increasing the share of use of domestic continuous casting technological lines at Belarusian and Russian enterprises by replacing imported equipment when creating new or modernizing existing foundry production sites, including at machine-building enterprises for the production of products of small profile sizes or for processing scrap metal directly on site. .
