Production


Technology and precision
ProGold’s production process is based on a series of actions which are aimed to obtain precision castings . The perfect combination of human resources and computer systems manages the production, granting the best casting conditions for the alloy, always respecting the standard rules for each working phase, in order to avoid human mistake as far as possible.

Casting little amounts of alloy (non exceeding 25kg) can ensure the homogeneity of the final product. Checking all the components, especially the ones which are present only in small quantities (1g/kg), is a good way to proceed, along with the possibility of mixing the different components. At this moment, analysis on the final product are more frequent and more precise, granting top quality standards.
This particular technique is frequently used in steel production: melting big quantities can offer only common steel, whilst melting little quantities can assure special steel with better performances.

There are other important devices for improving the product qualitative standard. For example, induction casting - a dynamic melting where components are mixed, thanks to an electromagnetic phenomena; the use of different crucibles for each alloy, to avoid contaminations of elements coming from other castings; the use of a single crucible without casting ladle in order to avoid alloy oxidation during its passage through the ladle and to eliminate residual materials from casting. As a state of fact, this residue, after the passage in air, could affect the final pureness and homogeneity.
Product Homogeneity
Casting little amounts of master alloy (not over 25kg) guarantee the homogeneity of the final product. Checking all the components, especially the ones present in small quantities (1g/kg), is a good way to proceed along with the possibility for mixing the different components. The analysis on the final product, carried out by sample, become more frequent and precise, ensuring a product of high quality standards. Such technique is used in the steels production field: casting big quantities of steel produce ordinary steels, while for special steels which offer particular performances, castings are of small dimensions.

There are other ways to improve the product qualitative standard. For example, induction casting - a dynamic melting where components are mixed, thanks to electromagnetic phenomena; the use of different crucibles for each alloy , to avoid contaminations of elements coming from other castings; the use of a single crucible without casting ladle in order to avoid alloy oxidation during its passage through the ladle and to eliminate residual materials from casting. As a fact, this residual, after the passage in air, could affect the final pureness and homogeneity of the alloy.
