Problem: Customer experienced reliability and high maintenance concerns with OEM casings due to poor quality castings with high porosity.

Solution:
Casting Simulation Modeling prior to pouring casting to ensure high quality castings.
VOD (Vacuum Oxygen Decarburization) Refining process (in lieu of standard AOD) is a superior casting process for super duplex preventing cracking for which 6A is prone.
Proprietary Heat Treat and Quenching techniques and procedures  to alleviate sigma phasing & cracking for which 6A is prone.
