New GF Automotive Brochure....Move More with Lightness / Competence in Casting : A new GF automotive competence brochure (PDF).
No doubt here that GF's core competencies are positioned for the future of light weight construction, innovations cast as one piece, bionic design, thin-walled die-castings, aluminum foam etc.
Some quotes from, the PDF...
"Expertise in lightweight construction at GF Automotive extends to new processes, such as aluminum foam—or LamiCast. The latter is a low-turbulence, low-pressure sand casting process for lightweight, thin-walled, and preferably hollow aluminum components, which allows weight savings of up to 40% over steel designs.
Other innovations are targeting compound casting, which allows functional integration in a single process step. Media- or pressure-carrying components can be combined with the casting part through integration, casting on, or encapsulation with minimal manufacturing effort. The combination of various materials also helps in finding an optimized weight solution"
"Nearly every vechicle has one of our parts in it, wheter in the chassis, drive train, or body"
