The <strong>Siempelkamp</strong> Foundry plays an important role in the service structure of the<br />
metal forming division. As one of the largest hand-molding foundries in the world,<br />
it produces, among other parts, structural components made of nodular graphite<br />
cast iron. Even for casting thick-walled components, the casters have the specifi c<br />
metallurgic know-how. This allows setting the optimal conditions for the<br />
solidifi cation process during crystallization of the matrix and the graphite nodules.<br />
Oftentimes, nodular graphite cast iron is the best and most economical solution for<br />
