Production

Foundry production processes are subject to permanent improvement, and even technological leaps. This contributes to the production of higher performance parts, at ever diminishing costs, whilst at the same time ensuring full protection for the environment.
 
CTIF has always been strongly committed to this progressive approach.
Its action, in this field, has been established along several major recurrent themes:

1. Use of the most suitable raw materials and energy sources for each techno-economic production case


The increasing cost of raw materials, the advent of secondary raw materials, the shift in the energy marketplace are such that CTIF fully exploits both technically and economically, the advances made in this field.

2. Improvement of production tools, applicable to the melting, moulding and coring processes


Increasing productivity by optimising every stage of the manufacturing process, is one of the essential themes where CTIF can make a rich contribution in practical spin-offs.

3. Quality assurance of products by increasingly reliable and stringent inspection methods


The quality of products remains the key factor to the success of companies. CTIF is firmly committed to quality assurance by the implementation of the most appropriate methods for each particular production case: optimisation of the manufacturing process, increasing sensitivity of inspections, etc.
 
CTIF operates directly within companies, through audits, in order to develop suitable progress plans.
