Europa Metalli is a world leader in the technology of copper moulds for the steel casting. EM ingot moulds are reliable because of their long service life, their high standard of performance and the 40 years of know-how, innovation and research in this sector which we have put into engineering a top quality product.
The production of mould tubes starts with the casting of steel the selected alloy, which is then cast in bars with round cross section. The bars are then extruded and forged.
The tube thus obtained is cold-drawn, bent and tapered in a high-powered press. This last processing stage is by far the most crucial step in manufacturing steel casting. To achieve it, special equipment is used which is specific to each type of ingot mould. The equipment itself is produced inside our production plant with sophisticated machinery.
Finally, the tubes undergoes machining and is then chromium-plated internally, before being inspected and measured. Steel casting |
The production of mould plates starts with the steel casting, which is then die-cast in brams. The brams are hot-rolled or forged, and then cold-rolled . After an ultrasound , test, which must, needless to say, be passed 100%, the next step involves mechanical processing with high-precision control equipment so as to meet the geometrical tolerances specified in the construction projects. In this phase EM can also weld the steel casting studs , when such a step is called for in the technical specifications |
Europa Metalli S.p.A. is an Italian company which can look back to more than 100 years of experience in the field of steel casting and casting of steel .  |
