Gravity Die Casting ABI houses a state-of-the-art plant to produce Gravity Die Castings.

ABI is well equipped to produce both permanent mould and semipermanent mould castings, and has the ability to produce castings with both horizontal and vertical parting line. The casting facility at ABI consists of seven carousels each containing eight individual machines and 14 individual stations to produce castings of different sizes.

ABI has ability to manufacture cores in-house to ensure quicker turnaround and maintain product quality. Smooth and uninterrupted movement of cores and parts in the facility is carried out by a conveyor system employed in the plant.

Melting Facility ABI is equipped with two melting furnaces

-1.5 Tonnes/Hr furnace -1 Tonne/Hr furnace

Casting ABI’s facility is equipped with seven, eight station carousels with ability to load single or multi-cavity dies. Metallic inserts and sand cores are used to create the hollow portion in the parts. The shell cores from the core drying ovens are directly transferred to the casting machines through a conveying system.

Die storage The dies are identified with customer name and part number and stored in racks with rollers for easy retrieval.

Dry Ice is used to clean the dies and remove the old coating; fresh coating is applied after the dies are heated in an electrical oven.

Finishing Process In-house Heat Treatment facility Shot blasting Fettling Machining where required.

Investment Casting ABI established an investment casting foundry in 2009 using the Hind Hi-Vac process. In 2011 ABI entered into a technical collaboration with Hitchiner Inc to manufacture turbine wheels.

The casting process employed is a Hitchiner proprietary process called CLI-C3. The process combines counter gravity, low pressure and centrifugal force to enable quick and efficient casting The Investment casting process followed by ABI is extremely versatile and is excellent for complex components where customers require thin parts with high dimensional accuracy.

Currently ABI supplies a range of Turbine wheels, with a minimum size of 30mm to a maximum size of 90mm in diameter. The process is capable of manufacturing wheels with a blade thickness as low as 0.35 mm.

In the Investment casting foundry, ABI can produce turbine wheels, waste gate parts and many other precision engineering components.
