CORBITT
specializes in aluminum
castings. Aluminum, as a material, has many
characteristics that are advantageous such as:
|
 |
|
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio |
|
|
|
Corrosion Resistance |
|
|
|
Aluminum is Easily Recyclable |
|
|
|
Competitive Cost |
|
|
|
Reduced
Machining Cost |
Aluminum castings can be
produced using a variety of processes. Many
factors are considered when choosing the “best”
process. Some of these factors are size, shape,
physical features, quantity, strength
requirements, porosity requirements, machining
requirements, capital/tooling budget and others.
CORBITT personnel are skilled at guiding casting
customers to the “best” process for producing
their aluminum castings.
Generally speaking, CORBITT can cast parts that
weigh up to 75 pounds. If your requirement is
for an item that exceeds 75 pounds it is
possible that CORBITT could cast your part. We
are equipped with overhead cranes that can
handle weights much greater than 75 pounds. The
maximum mold size for our tilt pour machines is
48 inches by 62 inches.
Inserts, such as studs, nuts, bushings, and
pipes can be “cast in”.
Many castings require heat treatment. CORBITT
has heat treat capability within our facility.
This capability provides for shorter
manufacturing cycles, greater process control
and better quality.
CORBITT is also an expert relative to machining
castings, regardless if they are aluminum or
another material. If you need a casting that
requires machining, but the advantages of
aluminum are not important, perhaps CORBITT can
source your casting, perform the required
machining and function as your tier 1
machined-casting supplier. |
