Outcast Metalworks Semi-finished Products
All our Aluminium and Copper castings can be provided in a semi-finished state, ready as an input into a downstream manufacturing process.
Casting Methods
The end use of the alloy and the mechanical properties required of it are heavily influenced by the casting method used, this is especially true of the yield and tensile strengths of the alloy. .
We have the facilities to:
- Produce Centrifugal castings for large OD flanges, bushes and sheaths with fine grain structures
- Cast Continuous lengths with a wide range of cross sections and profiles -
Although many claims are made concerning the superior properties obtainable from centrifugal castings, the process alone is not a guarantee of a superior product. In cases where equipment and design permit the full utilization of deep chill, directional solidification from the mold face inward, and high feeding pressure, castings are consistent of very high quality. When these principles are compromised, a wide range of properties can be expected. As a result, good foundry practice in all methods of casting metal is an essential factor in producing high-quality castings.
