Agriculture
One of the industries we serve is agriculture; in essence, agricultural machinery is positively influenced. Its limited weight and its natural non-corrosiveness make the agricultural industry’s casting option a must. Our aluminum casting expertise and guidance allow our customers to realize the optimal functionality, weight, and cost benefits by converting from iron and steel weldments and castings to lighter, non-corrosive and strong aluminum casting.
Recreational Vehicles
The benefits for the recreational vehicle industry are unprecedented. Our expert casting system lowers shipping weights for suppliers and manufacturers, increases fuel efficiency for the operator, not to mention it is cost-effective compared to steel suppliers.
Heavy Trucks
The heavy trucks industry is greatly benefitted from aluminum casting capabilities. Some of these benefits include a lower cab, container, trailer, and overall weights; adherence to strict industry standards, fuel efficiency, and better hauling capacity.
Marine
The high weight-to-strength ratio and non-corrosive characteristics of aluminum make aluminum castings a perfect fit for marine applications. Aluminum’s oxide film is tenacious, hard, and instantly self-renewing which makes it the best option for marine equipment.
Railroad
The railroad industry has been greatly improved by aluminum castings. Not only are passenger and freight trains benefitted by the high-strength aluminum material, but the manufacturers of train parts can also see improvements. Some of these include easier handling in freight applications, high corrosion resistance, and sustainable production.
