The Challenge:
Cast a lightweight geometry with a shaft of high bending strength and resistance to shearing.
PPF’s Solution:
- The bulk of the geometry will be cast aluminum with grade 8 steel shaft cast in place.
- Benefits: by casting component in place, we avoid the additional steps of machining and installation of the shaft.
“Molding inserts within the casting is cost-effective and ensures a sound installation.”
