The Finishing Department: For Aluminum Castings that Shine
Are you frustrated by past foundries handing off unfinished products? Our finishing department uses various cutting and grinding tools and shot-blasting processes to clean each casting per your specifications. This isn’t just a way to get better-looking products – this is essential to assuring quality results and functioning aluminum cast products.
Without a close eye and careful finishing touches, your products could arrive with rough edges and surfaces that interfere with performance. We put the utmost care into every one of our castings and pass the results of that care on to you! If you want to know that you have the best possible cast aluminum parts, call Boose Aluminum Foundry!

Cast Aluminum Finishing Techniques
So, how do we provide the incomparable shine and sheen you deserve?
We employ many techniques that come together and result in the best possible results:
Grinding
Green sand casting and no-bake casting can result in a slightly rough surface. One of the first techniques we apply is to grind the surface to clean off the burs and smooth the castings. This process allows us to control the shape and sharpness of edges much more closely. Grinding clears off the rougher edges and molten aluminum channels that form in casting.
Cleaning and Buffing
If you need a shiny, smooth surface, we can use buffing and cleaning processes to instill a smoother surface. Once the surface is ground down to a shine, we clean the surface of filings and powdered aluminum that may accrue throughout the molding and finishing process. This smooth surface is easier to clean and maintain across parts for various industries.
Shot Blasting
If your product is coated in a dip or powder coating, sand-blasting and shot-blasting creates a rougher surface to which these coats will stick more securely. Additionally, shot-blasting can provide mild improvements to resistance and strength by inducing compressive stress, creating a harder surface.
Our many finishing processes come together to provide you with the high-quality equipment that you demand when working with a custom casting company like Boose Aluminum.
