Green Sand Casting Services
The standard sand casting procedure that we implement for our bronze and aluminum castings is the green sand molding method. With this method the sand, which is mixed with a binder, is packed around the pattern to produce the mold. This is done by hand with pneumatic tools or with our automated sand machine known as a hunter. The patterns are removed from the mold leaving a cavity that will later provide the parts geometry. If the part being cast needs to ...

Permanent Mold Casting Services
For higher volume orders we implement permanent mold tooling to combat the price per part for aluminum castings. Given a large enough production run permanent mold tooling can pay for itself and minimize lead times. As opposed to packing sand around a pattern to create the cavity for the part, a piece of iron is milled to the appropriate geometry to produce the mold. Once the mold is produced it can be indexed into a vault and pulled anytime the part ...

Heat Treating Services
Our in-house heat treating department has the capability to handle high volumes with minimal turn around. The department boasts seven heat treating ovens and four quench tanks. To reduce the brittleness of our aluminum castings, tempering takes place in multiple aging ovens located through out the ...

Aluminum Castings Service
Our current aluminum output sits at roughly 7 million lbs a year but with the infrastructure and resources that we have in place we could easily double that. Of the aluminum that we produce approximately 85 percent of it ends up being used in house. The remaining 15 percent is shipped out in the form of raw ingot where it is used by other foundries and metallurgical facilities for a variety of applications. To facilitate such a high demand we have both ...

Bronze Castings Service
Incorporated into our primary sand system is our bronze pouring line. While the majority of our bronze/brass consumption is for electrical transmission components we do produce castings for many other industries. Of the alloys that we pour some of the most common are 955(Aluminum Bronze), 836 (Red Brass), 115 (Red Brass), 875 (Silicon Bronze), 833 (Red brass/Contact metal), and 131 (Red Brass/Contact metal). Our average annually consumption of ...
