HOVADUR® Alloys
HOVADUR® alloys are vacuum-cast in a completely air-free environment, ensuring exceptional purity, homogeneity, and performance consistency. This process eliminates gas inclusions and impurities, delivering superior quality. Vacuum casting guarantees a high-quality microstructure, maximizing durability and reliability in demanding applications.

Creation process
Creating HOVADUR® Alloys
Recharging during the melting process is carried out via a lock chamber. Once the melting process being finished, the alloy is cast under vacuum into one or several moulds.
Due to this procedure under complete absence of air, a very high purity and quality of the alloy are achieved. Negative environmental influences are completely excluded.

HOVADUR® B
The product line HOVADUR® B comprises our aluminium-bronzes. Due to our special processes in high vacuum, these alloys undergo a considerable improvement of their properties compared to the standard.
These alloys are particularly attractive for many applications due to their extraordinary resistance against chemical substances and their special sliding properties. Their profile is completed by the fact that they are sparking-free and show double thermal conductivity compared with steel.
