ALUMINUM SAND CASTING
Aluminum Sand Casting
We produce aluminum sand castings weighing just a few ounces or hundreds of pounds and in a variety of alloys to accommodate all of your casting needs.
We have strict standards for quality control. We test the aluminum for both chemistry and gas porosity throughout our processes and make adjustments as necessary. All castings are inspected throughout all stages of production and finishing. We strive aggressively for 100% on-time delivery and satisfied customers.
