Repliwax®, ceramic and sand casting processes
Our foundry specialises in castings up to 1000kg in a range of over 250 advanced alloys. We produce small and medium sized batches and have the capability to manage projects involving larger castings or parts intended for rapid prototyping development.

Alongside our main casting processes, we also hold a license for Repliwax®, which uses a mixture of both traditional sand and the latest ceramic technologies. The choice of processes available to us and the techniques that are employed, result in the ability to adapt to our customers changing requirements.

Computer simulation, flow analysis and CAD/CAM have allowed us to optimise casting methods for our "right-first-time" approach... We aim to cast it once and cast it right! The majority of our sand cast alloys can be rigged from common pattern sets and the investment processes can use either wax or starch patterns, produced from tooling or prototyping alternatives.

In addition to our fettling and casting upgrade facilities, we can also offer fully qualified welding services which adhere to the industry's highest standards. Custom built heat treatment ovens provide us with a full range of facilities to produce high quality castings time after time using standard treatments or customer defined cycles.

The production of alloys is tightly controlled by laboratory testing facilities which are part of our Lloyd's approved quality systems. These alloys have exceptional resistance to cracking, pitting and stress corrosion, which makes them suitable for service in conditions of intense abrasion or attrition and at the extremes of high and low temperature.
