November 01 2017 - 8:49AM
An industry leader in lightweighting, Shiloh Industries, Inc.
(NASDAQ:SHLO) was recently honored at the 2017 International Die
Casting Design Competition with an Excellence Award for the
development of an aluminum cast, overdrive gear carrier.
The North American Die Casting Association (NADCA) recognized
the structural integrity of Shiloh’s multi-functional, lightweight
casting. The innovative design maintained strength and
performance requirements, while reducing part weight by
approximately 60% over steel, and eliminating an extensive
secondary processing saving overall costs.
“Utilizing aluminum over traditional ferrous sintered metals
resulted in a significant mass savings in the transmission, which
can increase efficiency and improve fuel economy in the vehicle,”
said Don Carter, director, advanced manufacturing
engineering. “Shiloh’s proprietary, high-integrity casting
process yields outstanding mechanical properties from an aluminum
casting.”
The 2017 award, for excellence in structural/high integrity
aluminum die casting, is Shiloh’s tenth international design award
from NADCA.
“We are honored to be recognized once again by NADCA. Shiloh’s
unique ability to develop innovative lightweighting solutions
continues to assist our customers in reaching their performance and
regulatory requirements, while also benefitting the environment,”
according to David Jaeger, Shiloh senior vice president and
managing director.
