| Materials See Also: Nautilus Core System |
Direct Metal Induction Cast Process is a proprietary method of producing a high strength cast aluminum component. When used with our Nautilus Core Process we can provide a casting that is engineered by the customer, limited to the engineer's imagination not the restrictions imposed by conventional casting technology. Thresher Industries allows the engineer to design a lightweight, high strength cost effective component or assembly without limits.

Case Study: |
 |
A three piece welded aluminum microwave housing manufactured using welded components. Critical alignment was compromised during the welding process resulting in high scrap rates and customer dissatisfaction. This assembly was costly and caused customer delivery issues. Redesigned as a one piece cast aluminum housing using the DMIC Process and our Nautilus Core reduced initial cost by 80% and scrap related issues by 100%.
Automotive applications:
Waterpumps
Torque boxes for unit body vehicles, reduced weight/cost
Engine cradles, reduced NVH, weight and cost
FEAD brackets, reduced NVH, weight and cost
Diesel engine components, reduced NVH and weight
Instrument panel sub-frames, reduced weight,
NVH and cost compared to magnesium
Suspension components, reduced weight,
increased strength

Additional Considerations: |
 |
1. Thresher Industries is a zero discharge operation, we are an Earth Friendly manufacturer.
2. Thresher Foundry alloys are secondary ingot based alloys, 100% recycled aluminum is used in our alloys.
3. The Nautilus Core uses no binders and is based on an inert material and is 100% recyclable.
4. Our product mix includes neutron absorbing material used in casks for spent fuel rod in nuclear containment facilities and high strength metal matrix composite planter wheels for the agricultural industry. We are developing personal armor material as well as aftermarket components for transmission rebuild kits. Military contracts and driveshafts using our MMC's, as well as conventional aluminum castings for over the road truck air brakes.
