Choose the right process

Two Casting Methods. Different Advantages.

The best route depends on geometry, alloy, quantity, dimensional requirements and the amount of finishing required.

01

Centrifugal casting

Large, Sound Cored Forms

Molten bronze is introduced into a rotating mold to produce cylindrical castings with a dense structure and geometry well suited for bearings, bushings, rings and other cored components.

  • Large-diameter vertical and horizontal castings
  • Standard and made-to-order sizes and lengths
  • Multiple bronze and aluminum-bronze alloys
  • Castings supplied rough or machined as required

02

Permanent mold casting

Repeatable Near-Net Shapes

Reusable metal dies produce consistent non-ferrous castings with closer dimensional control, smoother surfaces and thinner sections than conventional sand-cast components.

  • Near-net-shape production components
  • Repeatable dimensional control
  • Fine cast surface finishes
  • Cast-in holes, cores and metal inserts

Centrifugal casting

Built for Cylindrical Components.

Centrifugal casting places molten metal against the mold wall through rotation. The process is suited to cylindrical components where material integrity, alloy selection and machining allowance matter.

Vertical & HorizontalCasting routes selected around diameter, length and geometry.

Consistency Built Into the Die.

Permanent mold casting uses reusable metal dies to produce dense, repeatable non-ferrous parts. Near-net shaping can reduce secondary machining and assembly requirements.
