The jobbing castings we make regularly are extremely varied in size and shape and complexity. Intricate. Highly cored. Close tolerance parts requiring density, pressure tightness, uniform strength properties, good machinability and finish. One-of-a-kind and semi-production.
Sprinkler and Hydraulic Values, Pumps, Compressor
Housings, Gear, Cams, Sprockets, Levers, Machine Tool Frames are typical
parts weighing from 1 to 4,000 lbs.
Wide choice of metals:
Meehanite metals, all types
Gray Iron Class 30 to Class 50
Ductile Irons, 60-40-18 to 100-70-03 and Austempered Ductile Irons
Special Alloys for Heat, Wear and Corrosion resisting Applications
Specifications Met-ASTEM, ASM, SAE, AMS, MIL and AEC
If you have questions about the type of metal best suited from your application, talk to our people before you decide.
Three Ajax electric induction furnaces provide the capacity to melt this broad range of metals. Because the quality of iron castings depends substantially on the materials used, we closely control the metal charge materials, melting and molding techniques. Nothing is left to chance. Spectrographic analysis, mechanical testing and metallography are combined to insure our standards and yours are met. Radiography, X-ray and fluoroscopic examination, crack detection and pressure testing can be provided to insure casting integrity.
