Aluminum casting proves to be a key player in the oil and gas industry. Explosion-proof housings for control units on drilling platforms and in mining ensure safe operation. A spark, which could have fatal consequences in such environments, is ruled out. In addition, corrosion resistance ensures significantly reduced maintenance requirements at these often remote locations.
