METALCASTING SUPPLIES Steel Shot Valve Carbon and Sulfur Analyzer
Te G4 Icarus CS HF allows for the individual or simultaneous analysis of carbon and sulfur, and with less mess to clean up afterward than other analyzers on the market, according to the product’s supplier, Bruker, Billerica, Mass. A solid sample, which can be steel, iron, aluminum or another material, is placed in a ceramic crucible. Te sample is combusted in a high-frequency furnace in an oxygen stream. Te Icarus has a patent- pending design that reduces splatter against interior walls and other byproducts of com- bustion. Carbon and sulfur levels can be measured on a parts per million scale if needed,
and data can be transferred via FTP or local network. Visit

Te WM 3000-24 MagnaValve media valve can throw steel shot at 3,000 pounds per minute on wheel blast machines with wheels up to 125 horse- power. Te MagnaValve, from Electronics Inc., Mishawaka, Ind., is a magnetic valve that regulates the flow of steel shot using a built-in sensor that measures flow rate. When used with Electronics’ FC-24 Controller, the wheel motor amperage can be regulated to any value. Te valve includes an earth- permanent magnet that stops shot flow
when power is interrupted for any reason. Visit

Print Material for Investment Castings
Accura CastPro, created by 3D Systems, Rock Hill, S.C., is a new print material designed to meet the manu- facturing requirements of QuickCast patterns (which 3D Systems designed and patented for SLA use). Ac- cura CastPro patterns have a low thermal expansion rate and are dimensionally stable, translating into precise casting for multi-component
assemblies. Te patterns are designed for 3D Systems’ production printers. Visit
