[Düsseldorf, 16 June 2015] - SinterCast has taken the opportunity of the GIFA
world foundry trade fair, held every four years in Düsseldorf, to display its
industry leading Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI) process control technology and to
promote the benefits of CGI. Representing 42 installations in 12 countries, the
technology display presents foundry solutions for all levels of CGI production,
including the Mini-System 3000 for prototyping and niche volume production; the
System 3000 with SinterCast's patented feedforward optimisation of magnesium and
inoculant prior to casting; and, the fully automated System 3000 Plus that
additionally incorporates automatic feedback control of the base treatment
process.
The SinterCast technology display promotes the use of CGI in a variety of
components including exhaust manifolds and turbocharger housings, passenger
vehicle cylinder blocks and commercial vehicle cylinder blocks and heads, with
casting weights ranging from 5 kg to 300 kg. Prominent among the cylinder
blocks on display is the world's first high volume CGI petrol engine cylinder
block, the Ford 2.7 litre V6 EcoBoost, establishing a new benchmark for CGI in
petrol applications. The display also includes a direct comparison between the
Audi 3.0 litre V6 CGI cylinder block and the Mercedes 3.0 litre V6 aluminium
cylinder block, highlighting that the assembled Compacted Graphite Iron engine
is 125 mm shorter and weighs 15 kg less than the aluminium engine.
"GIFA provides an excellent opportunity to showcase our process control
technology, to promote our material, and to host our current and potential
customers from around the world" said Dr Steve Dawson, President & CEO,
SinterCast. "With series production that has increased by more than 50% since
the last GIFA, we are excited to present the accuracy, reliability and
robustness of our control technology and to provoke the debate about lightweight
engine technology. The cast iron foundry industry embraces and appreciates
SinterCast as a leading voice in the campaign to convey the message that CGI
engines can be smaller, lighter, stronger, quieter and less expensive than their
aluminium counterparts, while providing significant life cycle energy benefits
for society."

SinterCast is the world's leading supplier of process control technology for the
reliable high volume production of Compacted Graphite Iron (CGI). With at least
75% higher tensile strength, 45% higher stiffness and approximately double the
fatigue strength of conventional grey cast iron and aluminium, CGI allows engine
designers to improve performance, fuel economy and durability while reducing
engine size, weight, noise and emissions. With 42 installations in 12 countries,
the SinterCast technology is primarily used for the production of petrol and
diesel engine cylinder blocks and exhaust components for passenger vehicles;
medium-duty and heavy-duty cylinder blocks and heads for commercial vehicles;
and, industrial power engine components for marine, rail, off-road and
stationary engine applications. SinterCast's series production components range
from 2 kg to 9 tonnes, all using the same proven process control technology.
The SinterCast share is quoted on the Small Cap segment of the Stockholm NASDAQ
OMX stock exchange (Stockholmsbörsen: SINT). For more information:
