Revolution in car construction: Aluminium alloy megacasting
This is a huge opportunity for Imperial mining - megacasting of Scandium Aluminium alloy car bodies!
The aluminium die-casting process could revolutionise body construction Several vehicle manufacturers are ramping up investment in the use of megacasting as they build new plants and revamp others for electric vehicle production. While Tesla has been a frontrunner, using the process to cast large body structures that are reported to save 70 parts for each large piece, Volvo Cars has also just announced a plan to switch to aluminium megacasting for rear body structures starting at its Torslanda plant in Gothenburg, Sweden for new electric vehicle platforms starting in 2025. https://www.automotivemanufacturingsolutions.com/casting/forging/megacasting-a-chance-to-rethink-body-manufacturing/42721.article
