In 1994, the company introduced a new process based on continuous casting technology, with the installation of the first plant in the world applied to the aluminium sector. This solution allows molten metal to flow through a water-cooled mould, enabling progressive and controlled cooling of the material.

The adoption of this process represented an important step forward from a quality perspective: controlled solidification contributes to improving the characteristics of the alloys produced, promoting a more homogeneous structure and greater material stability.

For customers, this translates into more reliable alloys, consistent with application requirements and capable of supporting production processes increasingly focused on quality, continuity and performance.

The introduction of continuous casting became part of an ongoing path of research and development aimed at process innovation, confirming Raffmetal’s commitment to investing in technologies capable of generating concrete value for the entire supply chain.
