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.
