| United Cast Bar supplies Unibar material into the automotive sector for various applications:
Unibar is used in a wide variety of applications within the auto industry. The mechanical properties and defect free quality ensure manufacturers gain significant cost savings whilst maintaining essential design characteristics. Unibar supplies to the automotive manufacturers and producers a diverse range from gear manufacture to battery moulding and high performance brake discs. Manufacturers are utilising the benefits of Unibar continuous cast iron, achieving improved mechanical characteristics along with the elimination of burrs on internal machined faces. Lathe turning operations (facing, centering and rough turning) have shown to be up to 50% fast on continuous cast iron when compared with steel. |

Unibar offers many advantages over steel and sand castings for use in the automotive sector. High wear resistance and excellent noise and vibration damping make this
material extremely suitable for the manufacture of gears and brake discs. The 10% weight reduction against steel is beneficial to manufacturers of performance parts.
As part of the service from United Cast Bar, Unibar can be supplied proof machined, turned, drilled, milled or peeled, providing our customers with increased production capacity and flexibility at a low cost. |
