With our advanced permanent mold capabilities, we consistently deliver high-quality aluminum castings that meet stringent industry standards. We’re continually enhancing our foundry process innovations, ensuring that every casting reflects top-tier precision and performance. Our team specializes in diverse permanent mold applications, adept at selecting the right aluminum alloys to maximize product durability and functionality.

Our mold design techniques are crafted with precision, tailored to meet the specific needs of our clients. This approach allows us to produce complex geometries and high-strength components with exceptional surface finishes. Through ongoing casting quality improvements, we’ve tightened our production tolerances and enhanced the structural integrity of our castings.

Semi Permanent Mold

Semi Permanent Mold casting expands our capabilities by integrating expendable shell cores with durable molds, allowing for greater design complexity and precision in aluminum castings.

This unique process combines the best of both worlds: the flexibility of sand cores for intricate designs and the robustness of permanent molds for repeated use. We’re able to achieve superior surface finishes and dimensional accuracy, which are crucial for high-performance applications.

The semi permanent nature of this method provides significant casting advantages. Core removal is streamlined, reducing cycle times and enhancing production efficiency.

This is particularly beneficial when dealing with complex internal geometries that are challenging to mold with traditional techniques. The ability to easily remove the core after casting allows us to produce parts with intricate internal features without compromising on strength or integrity.

Moreover, the high-quality surface finishes obtained through this method reduce the need for extensive post-casting finishing, saving both time and money. We’re proud to offer this advanced capability, ensuring that our clients receive the best possible components for their specific needs.
