HCM partnered with a leading European pump manufacturer facing efficiency and corrosion challenges. The goal: produce a series of duplex stainless steel impellers with superior hydraulic profiles and material integrity.
Our solution utilized precision investment casting to achieve the required thin, aerofoil-shaped vanes and excellent surface finish. Advanced simulation ensured optimal solidification, while rigorous metallurgical controls guaranteed the corrosion-resistant properties of the duplex alloy.
The results delivered a significant competitive edge to our client:
Hydraulic efficiency increased by approximately 4.2%.
Extended service life in aggressive fluid handling applications.
Reliable, consistent quality across high-volume production runs.
This project exemplifies our ability to deliver not just a component, but a performance advantage. We provide critical castings for diverse sectors—from automotive turbochargers and medical device parts to durable mining components—where material science and precision converge.
