Vertical Direct Chill (VDC) Billet Casting
Key
The VDC billet casting process is the method most used today for production of commercial aluminium billets that will be further fabricated by either extrusion or forging. This process produces fine-grained billets with a minimum amount of segregation and at high production rates. Metal quality and minimal downtime are key to producing high-value product and scrap reduction.
Pyrotek offers proven solutions for VDC billet casting, including billet table refractory, coatings, transition plates, machined graphite, thimbles, thermocouples, refractory shapes, seals and gaskets, backup insulation and casting lubricants.
