Wat is TCaST?

Features and Specifications Features and Specifications

Point 1: High refractoriness

With TCaST molds, you can cast various metals from aluminum alloy with a pouring temperature of 700C to cast stainless steel or carbon steel with pouring temperatures of above 1600C.

  • Metals AC4C
  • Metals CAC406
  • Metals FCD450
  • Metals SCH13

Point 2: Excellent mold collapsibility

TCaST molds are strong enough before casting, and the strength is lost after metal is poured. This makes the collapsibility better compared to conventional molds.

Point 3: High precision

Surface precision is very high, so you can get faithful reproduction of smooth curves, fine patterns, embossed letters and logos and other fine designs.TCaST is suitable for crafts as well as for industrial products.
