Introduction to MCASTIntroduction to MCAST
MCAST (Melt Conditioning by Advanced Shear Technology) is an innovative technology developed by BCAST at Brunel University for conditioning liquid alloys prior to solidification processing.MCAST uses the dispersive mixing power of the twin-screw mechanism to provide conditioned melt with uniform temperature, uniform chemical composition and well dispersed heterogeneous nucleation sites.The conditioned melt will solidify with enhanced heterogeneous nucleation to produce a solidified object with fine and uniform microstructure, uniform composition and reduced cast defects.MCAST process operates in batch for shape casting or continuously for continuous castingMCAST process is applicable to Al-alloys, Mg-alloys, Zn-alloys, Sn- alloys, Pb-alloys.
