Green Sand Castings – Low to Med Volume Gray and Ductile Iron

Do you need castings FAST or without Tooling. We can 3D print the mold and pour quickly. Do you need Service parts? We are good with your lower volume parts. We can make One casting or we can pour 500 per month, or 2000 or 5000 per year. If your production requirements go higher – we will adjust accordingly with our foundries. Pouring both Gray and Ductile Iron.

Manufacturing small castings from 1oz. up to 150Lbs.

Material Grades – typical ASTM materials used are Austenitic Ductile Iron – A571-71, Ductile Iron – A536-84 and Gray Iron – A48-83.

High Silicon High Moly Ductile Iron Available with tensile strengths from 20,000psi to 100,000 psi. and suited for castings requiring high strength and wear resistance as well as pressure containing castings used in low temperature service environments.

• Spectrometer Analysis and Automatic Nodularity testing prior to pouring.
• In-House Brinell Testing Capability – we verify material hardness for your applications.
• Manufacture custom sand cast parts up to 28” in length, 28” in width and 14” in height.
• Hartley Sand Control System to keep the sand quality consistent.
• Producing Highly-Cored castings from Shell, Isocure Sand and without Core.
• Automated Sand delivery and Mold handling systems. FBO-III Roberts Sinto Flaskless automated molding system allows us to run 20” x 24” Flask and can be up to 8” in both cope as well as drag. System regulates mold hardness and minimizes parting lines and core flashing which can reduce secondary finishing costs.
• Separate storage facility built with fire resistant walls to keep your patterns safe.
• Also, our green sand molding facility includes Rota-lift molding machines. Melting is done in two 4,000 lb capacity coreless induction electric furnaces. Once cooling is complete processing is done with grinding stations and spinner blast equipment.
• Most repairs, mounting, rigging, gating of tooling is performed in pattern shop. We also
  work closely with outside tool makers to create and modify patterns and core boxes to customer specifications.
