Our ongoing research and development efforts ensure that our castings reflect the latest advancements in foundry technology. The ductile iron family includes grades that offer specific mechanical properties required for various applications. Metallurgists will help you select the best alloy for your use while our engineers will carefully assess the part design for compatibility with investment casting. In addition to modifications that optimize cost efficiency, we can often suggest changes that improve the effectiveness of the finished part. If required, a process can economically provide accurate metal prototypes for testing.
Technicians machine the precision tools needed to form patterns in wax formulation.
Your ductile castings are manufactured with the Shellvest process. A wide range of after-casting processes including austempering, heat treating, and other finishing services, can also be provided. The strength and corrosion resistance of Ductile iron provides added benefits for this shifter crank used in marine outboard engines. Less brittle than most types of iron. Lower cost than carbon and low alloy steels.
