What if adding some Scandium in Giga-Casting of EVs?
There we do have a Giga Opportunity for Imperial Mining that has already cooperated with Eck Industries in 2021 for developing of Svandium Aluminium casting alloys
(https://www.argusmedia.com/en/news/2259648-eck-imperial-develop-scandiummodified-ev-alloy) and is currently cooperating with Albecour Inc. to investigate the potential of producing specialty Scandium-Aluminum alloys (https://imperialmgp.com/news-releases/news/2023/imperial-mining-and-albecour-strike-an-agreement-to-develop-scandium-aluminum-alloys-in-quebec/)
Giga-Castings in Car Manufacturing
Tesla utilizes two giant giga-castings that serve as the front and rear underbody in their Model Y, thus revolutionizing traditional car body (unibody) design and streamlining manufacturing. Compared to the Model 3, these two castings replaced 171 parts (mostly sheet stampings along with some smaller castings), eliminated 1,600 welds, and removed 300 robots from the assembly line—reducing required capital investment and floorspace significantly. These giant castings are manufactured on a massive machine, known as a giga-press, which is able to achieve 6,000 tons of locking force and is theoretically capable of producing up to 45 castings per hour.
