Knowledge About Die Casting, Machines and Foundry Technology

The FISS Knowledge Center provides practical technical articles on die casting machines, casting processes, automation, furnace technology and process optimization. We explain technical relationships clearly and show which machines, systems and peripheral equipment are suitable for different production requirements.

From cold chamber and hot chamber die casting to mold filling and vacuum, automated die casting cells and molten metal supply, the articles combine technical fundamentals with practical experience from industrial machinery and foundry applications.
