Industry pioneer: MRB Guss ensures the quality of its cast parts with an X-ray device from ZEISS. APMEN learns more.

Since December 2020, MRB Guss GmbH Herzogenburg has been assuring the quality of iron castings with the ZEISS BOSELLO MAX 450kV machine. With this X-ray inspection machine, the company is able to guarantee the quality of the castings faster and more comprehensively.

These help the firm produce more efficiently and attract new customers. In the composition hall of MRB Guss GmbH, 12 to 13 tonnes of metal are melted in two medium-frequency ovens in tandem processing every hour.

With the volume of material, the red-hot molten mass from the holding furnace is poured several times an hour into a huge temperature-resistance treatment and transportation container (GF converter), which is then mounted onto a forklift. This happens so precisely that not a single drop of the approximately 1,530 deg C hot mass falls to the ground.

Before the operator drives the hot load to the casting plant, he inspects the temperature for quality purposes using an approximately 2 m long measuring probe. Afterwards, he adds pure magnesium or a master alloy to the reaction chamber.

The ensuing exothermic reaction, where the magnesium evaporates and the melted mass desulferizes and amalgamates, creates a fireball that rises from the so-called converter, lasting around a minute. Following this infernal noise, the forklift driver moves forward and dumps the mass for the cast iron together with ductile iron into the casting furnace at the molding plant.
