The methods of control and hygiene of the alloys in Rifimpress are particularly accurate.

The alloys are melted into a dedicated melting unit and in each melting furnace a first sprouting and cleaning of the alloy is performed. At this point the alloy is poured into a ladle and brought to a degassing station before it is transported to the press department and poured into the waiting machine on the edge of the machine.

In each waiting oven, finally, a final melting of the molten bath is achieved.

The customer has been supported since the very beginning of the design of the new mold by the company’s technical office, with which all the necessary equipment is agreed upon.

At this stage, ProCast simulation software enables filling and solidification analysis to prevent quality problems, and co-design both the product (if needed) and the process leading to mold optimization.

Once the mold is made, sampling is followed by a specialized technician who prepares the quality reports requested by the customer.

Magnesium alloys are the most recommended for production of very thin components and particularly lightweight products.

Magnesium alloys, in fact, are the structural material with a lower specific weight but with good rigidity and good mechanical properties. This material is also characterized by a high degree of smoothness, which allows the construction of components with very thin thicknesses and excellent aesthetic finishes.

The magnesium alloy component has oxidation and corrosion problems that are eliminated by post-casting surface treatments.

Rifimpress is able to supply finished components, machined and assembled according to different customer requirements.

Inside the company there is a sand-blasting and bur cleaning department, a department for mechanical machining. Rifimpress also has an oven for aging of components and impregnation plant.

As for surface coatings and surface treatments, instead, Rifimpress uses qualified external suppliers.
