Metalcasting Industry Roadmap x Find Rare Earth substitutes Target Outcomes


x Reduced production lead times x Supply chain reliability


d. Hybrids - Hybrid materials as defined are considered to be a mixture of two or more materials, one of them being a cast metal. The major goal in creating a hybrid cast material is to improve strength and / or reduce weight. The combinations in this area include metal-to-metal, metal-to-ceramic, and metal-to-polymer.


Key Tasks


x Utilize metal to metal x Incorporate metal to ceramic x Employ metal to polymer


Target Outcomes


x New higher performing / lightweight parts x New and expanded markets for metalcastings


Mold, Die, and Tooling Materials


a. Die Materials ± Die materials refers to the mold cavitieps created using hardened tool steel (or other viable material) dies which have been machined into the shape of the part(s) being produced. R&D areas in this topic include improving the life of the die, developing better die coatings and lubricants, modeling and simulation of dies, and expendable cores.
