Mitch Van Remortel, Strategic Channel Manager at Charter Casting, joined the National Fluid Power Association’s Fluid Power Forum podcast to discuss how material selection impacts performance, manufacturability, and total cost of ownership in fluid power systems. He shared a real-world case study where a frac pump manufacturer saved roughly $200,000 annually and cut 60,000 pounds of material weight by switching components from low carbon steel to Durabar, and discussed how AI and data-driven tools are beginning to accelerate material selection and engineering analysis.
