The process is generally used for small castings, but has produced complete aircraft door frames, steel castings of up to 300 kg and aluminium castings of up to 30 kg. It is generally more expensive per unit than die casting or sand casting but with lower equipment cost. It can produce complicated shapes that would be difficult or impossible with die casting, yet like that process, it requires little surface finishing and only minor machining.

Moulds and cores are made by chemically bonded sand or shell moulding processes depending on the size, shape, complexity and quantity of the castings involved.

We make castings weighing between 0.5 and 1200kg sand moulding and 0.1 to 15kg by shell moulding.
Our computerised methoding systems ensure that sound and accurate castings are produced to meet your requirements.
Castings are generally supplied fully heat treated in accordance with relevant specifications, and a full machining service is also available.
