Wagstaff Inc products

The Wagstaff Epsilon Ingot Casting System for Aerospace Alloys is an advanced, specialized technology designed specifically to cast strong alloys for aerospace, military, and commercial applications. The system consists of a mold table, molds, starting head base, and starting heads engineered to produce aerospace alloys of the highest quality and in the most efficient manner.

The Epsilon mold is a robust, easy-to-use upgrade from Wagstaff’s conventional Water Hole Mold ingot technology and is designed to allow operation at metal levels that result in improved cast surface quality.  Epsilon`s performance has been consistent, and its usage has increased steadily around the globe as ingot casters discover its effectiveness and practicality.

The Wagstaff LHC Low Head Composite Rolling Ingot Casting Technology was developed to improve ingot quality and recoveries. The high quality ingots produced with LHC molds yield significant savings in scalping and edge trimming operations. LHC also allows increased casting speeds and significant reductions in lubricant consumption compared to conventional DC casting.

Wagstaff LHC Low Head Composite Rolling Ingot Casting Technology molds are available as either a fixed dimension mold or a variable dimension mold, known as VariMold. This allows aluminum producers to cast high quality ingot in a variety of widths using a single mold. Wagstaff LHC technology improves ingot quality and recoveries, yielding significant savings in scalping and edge trimming operations. Additionally, tests have shown head and butt crop reductions of up to 50% using LHC vs. EMC because of improved butt geometry.
