Case studies that deliver results

Discover how the principles discussed in the webinar translate into real-world success. These selected case studies show how foundries around the world – with Elkem’s support – are solving common challenges, from shrinkage and microporosity to improving casting yield.

Improving ductile iron casting yield

Elkem helped a foundry producing safety-critical automotive and agricultural parts boost productivity by adding an extra cavity to the pattern plate—reducing both production time and costs.
