Yoder Industries, Inc., specializes in high technology castings, including difficult to cast engine
and transmission heat sink die castings. These precision engineered electronic control modules require
a synergy of optimized casting design and critically controlled casting parameters to ensure consistency
in casting quality. While the fin geometry is critical to heat dissipation and meeting customer FEA
requirements, the elements of the optimized casting design and die cast process are at the heart
of success. Utilizing state of the art process monitoring and process control techniques, Yoder is
able to achieve exception casting integrity and surface finish. Yoder Industries is pleased to supply
European and U.S. automotive customers with a variety of heat sink control modules.

Key Features:

  • Casting to net shape no machining required
  • Zero Heat Check permitted on DCT castings without machining
  • Surface Finish and Surface Tension different on opposite sides of casting
  • Excellent fill of fins
  • Critical flatness
  • Cleanliness requirements
  • Packaging concept developed by Yoder Industries
