Ductile Business (casting and forging)
Ductile cast iron, which is made by adding silicon and magnesium to cast iron, is almost as strong as steel. When using ductile cast iron to produce large components for trucks, forklifts, and construction machinery, it generally has the disadvantage of needing long cooling time which limits the daily output to a few. In the plants of ASAHI TEC, however, we have the secondary cooling lines for ductile cast iron, which realizes the amazing production speed of only 23 seconds per cast. Efficient production of large-size components using of ductile cast iron is realized with our high-speed casting lines, offering mass production of large components with further quality consistency. We can now respond to the needs for high-mix low-volume production that used to be difficult in the past, providing the integrated production from mass production designs to casting, manufacturing, and assembly based upon our long experience and manufacturing know-how. In addition, we respond to the more advanced needs of our customers with our new material Hyper Ductile, which realizes strength, ductility, and cutting workability all in one.
