State of the art metallurgical lab staffed by a metallurgist and trained technicians. The chemistry of each charge of metal is delivered to the lab by a pneumatic conveyor and analyzed by the use of a computer controlled spectrometer and a carbon sulfer analyzer. The last iron from each ladle of ductile iron is examined for 90% mininum nodularity.
Brinnell hardness testing is performed (3000/500Kg load) on castings as needed.
Mechanical testing of malleable and aluminum is done in-house. Mechanical testing of gray and ductile iron and brass is done by a commercial lab.
All alloys, both ferrous and non ferrous can be certified if requested.
A Sheffield Cordax 1808-MDCC MEA coordinate measuring machine is used to check the dimensional accuracy of all master, production patterns as well as core boxes and castings.
