Benefits of Aluminum Casting for Transportation
Transportation aluminum casting can carry numerous benefits. The ability to have your parts tailor-made to exact specifications, in particular, will provide your production with ample opportunities to ensure your vehicles receive only the best possible parts. But there are other benefits to your pieces as well:
Corrosion Resistance
Transportation must work through the most brutal weather and in the harshest environments. From boating and marine applications to long-haul rail cars, your vehicles will be put to the test every day for years on end. Aluminum is one of the most resistant and long-lasting materials for high-pressure engines and high-stress chassis.
Lasting Durability
Your parts will need to resist water, heat, salt, and other damaging materials for years. A vehicle that never breaks down is a dream. We can provide you with at least a little bit of that fantasy. You can have faith that our pieces will last long enough to get more than your money’s worth by the time their usable lifespan is through!
Competitive Strength
Aluminum’s strength-to-weight ratio is well known, even beyond the metallurgy industry. Its low weight and incredible versatility enhance this already impressive material. These properties can provide you and your transportation with unparalleled lightness, allowing larger loads and faster speeds!
Economical Pricing
Our production floor has been developed over nearly a century of hard work. We have been at the forefront of innovation and technical know-how for ages, giving us a competitive edge when it comes to molding and designing our clients’ parts with the bottom line in mind. We can stick to your budget with ease.
No matter how big or small your job is, if you need your parts to be strong, durable, and resistant and come in at a reasonable price point, call us today!
Trust Our Quality Control Measures for Safety and Performance
Your parts don’t just come out of the sand and get sent out – we make vigorous efforts to make sure that every piece is of the highest quality. Our multi-step quality control system keeps us up to the highest of standards:
X-Ray Inspection
Computed radiography, a digital imaging method, uses X-rays to get instantaneous high-detail scans of the insides of your parts. This technology allows us to measure thickness, detect defects, and ensure you won’t receive a piece that will fall apart on use. This step is critical for high-stress parts like engines for electric or hybrid HOVs and railway parts of all kinds due to the need for high strength and low tolerance for part failure.
Chemical and Physical Testing
Various chemical and physical tests ensure your part is properly alloyed, heat-treated, and strong. From spectrometry for chemical composition to Brinell Hardness and Test Bar Tensile Testing for strength and durability, we can ensure no mistakes were made in melting and mixing for your pour.
Liquid Penetration Testing
An LPI test can be done on parts that need to be perfectly air—and watertight. This process involves applying fluorescent dye and powder to locate any areas allowing liquid to enter the piece. We know that safety requires no cracks or defects whenever we produce marine or aquatic parts.
First Article Inspection
If your requirements call for the highest accuracy and quality, requesting a FAI, or First Article Inspection, may be what you need. In addition to our other quality inspections, the first produced part is inspected dimensionally through traditional layout or 3D scans with color-map overlay. It is an essential step in validating the accuracy and quality of the tooling and production processes before mass production begins.
This quality control process is in no small way the reason that countless companies trust us to produce their parts. From defense applications to robotics parts, we give every production the attention it deserves!
