Specialists of SKB-3 (part of the military-industrial holding "Kingisepp Machine-Building Plant", KMZ) designed aluminum tooling for the manufacture of castings of one of the parts of the diesel engine exhaust manifold. This was reported by the holding's press service.
The part is designed to remove exhaust gases from the cylinders of a diesel engine, helps in cooling the exhaust tract and bushings of the working cylinder.
Aluminum tooling — a modernized version of wood-model tooling. The previous blank allowed making only about 200 molds, after which the castings lost their shape and did not correspond to the project.
The resource of aluminum tooling is up to 10 thousand castings. Another important difference of such a blank is the creation of castings with a smoother surface.
