Benefits of Aluminum Casting for Medical Equipment
Aluminum sand casting is a form of metallurgy that we have used for nearly a century, with frequent advancements in technique and technology. These advancements have resulted in aluminum products that can provide unparalleled quality and benefits to your practice. Aluminum can be alloyed with many materials to highlight and improve the inherent qualities of its form, such as corrosion resistance, low weight, and stability.
Tight Tolerances
Your pieces are produced to exactly match your needs so that you can trust your tools won’t be warped, your cases will fit their devices, and even the smallest of parts will match their place in large equipment. The sand-casting process results in an aluminum casting with an incredible amount of detail. With casting machining and sand-blasting, pieces can be produced to exact specifications.
Electromagnetic Shielding
Aluminum is a good conductor of electricity, which allows it to form a shield for electromagnetic interference. This characteristic is invaluable for cases and parts in medical industry equipment and manufacturing. The tight tolerances and accurate tooling also come together to help build the best parts for the most complicated electronic medical equipment.
Cost Effective Production
Sand casting has low costs compared to other aluminum casting and production systems. Enjoy fast turnaround on your products thanks to the quick-to-production molds, low-cost tooling, and advanced ISO-certified quality control. Lastly, our production relies on renewable materials and green initiatives to stay even more forward-thinking and efficient.
Boose Aluminum Foundry has been at work since 1933, using sand castings for accurate and high-quality molded aluminum products. When you choose us, you choose to work with nearly a century of experience and practice. Our production is unmatched in the field, and you can trust that the benefits of our medical aluminum castings will serve you for years to come.
What Components Are Suitable for Aluminum Casting
The sand-casting process is customizable and highly detailed, which means that a wide array of products and equipment can be manufactured. Our past creations include several unique productions, ranging from defense contract equipment to aeronautical pieces. The durability and strength of aluminum cast products, combined with the tight tolerances and detailed molds, create useful products across many industries.
Some of the most common medical aluminum castings include:
- Stethoscopes
- Medical trays
- Medical cases
- Medication organizers
- Tubes and parts for diagnostic devices
Some pieces of surgical equipment can also be produced with aluminum casting, but surgical blades and other pieces are typically made with steel or titanium to suit those needs.
Aluminum is one of the most useful materials in the modern era. It is desirable across the full breadth of manufacturing industries thanks to its remarkable strength-to-weight ratio, which is necessary for efficiency and speed. Our industry knowledge means we can accurately match your needs to the alloy and product that is most appropriate with just a short conversation.
Medical Aluminum Casting Alloys
The capabilities of our production facility include a number of heat treatments and alloy possibilities that are suitable for most industries and needs. One of the most used medical sand-casting alloys is 356/A356.
This highly pure alloy is more than 90% aluminum, 7% silicon, and less than a percent each of magnesium, iron, copper, manganese, and zinc. Like most alloys, this metal relies upon other materials for strength and durability improvements. A356 is typically heat-treated to liquefy and spread these alloying materials evenly throughout the cast before crystalizing them in place with rapid cooling. This results in an alloy that is exceptionally stable and reliable.
Many aluminum alloys can be suitable for medical-grade equipment pieces. Call today, and we can discuss which type of aluminum would best fit your practice or clinic.
Provide the Best Care Possible with High-Quality Medical Aluminum Castings
High-quality equipment can be expensive, weighty pieces can cause strain and stress throughout your day, and warped pieces must be replaced. Medical aluminum casting services can provide quality tools and pieces that solve your most common headaches and problems at a fraction of the cost of other manufacturers.
The medical industry has some of the highest demands and tightest regulations for equipment and tools. These demands keep your patients safe and your risks low. You can’t risk your business or patient’s health with low-quality equipment. Come to us for the quality medical aluminum castings and pieces that you need to ensure your practice or clinic runs safely and smoothly.
