Buck Company

A stringent control system assures our customers that the equipment, processes and methods used for casting parts are closely monitored in each step. Constant implementation and upgrading or our process and statistical controls assure casting parts that are true-to-pattern and dimensionally accurate. This guarantees a casting with the properties and dimensions that make it right for its intended use.

Our commitment to quality is reflected in our metallurgical laboratory. A modern spectrometer gives us a rapid, accurate chemical analysis of the metals we cast. This rigid control of metal chemistry, supplemented by physical testing and microscopic examination, results in tight control of the mechanical, physical and engineering properties of every casting we pour.

We are committed to quality checks at critical steps in the manufacturing process. Using modern equipment and procedures, including magnetic particle testing, tensile testing, hardness testing, chemical analysis, microscopic examination and dimensional checks, we insure that the most exacting specifications will be met.
