Internal Services
Alcast Company’s permanent mold aluminum foundry contains several internal value added services such as trimming, shot basting, leak testing, and assembly. This will lower our customers overall cost by having these operations done at one location.
Steel Shot Spin Blasting
Alcast Company now offers generic blasting with zinc or steel shot in our steel shot spin blaster. This process is perfect for larger aluminum castings, or those that may be damaged when tumbling against other castings.
Aluminum Casting Clean Up
