Castings
 Making
more possible
When it comes to assuring value, there’s no substitute for experience.
We combine an unrivaled range of application expertise and engineering
experience to offer customers a truly one-of-a-kind resource. Our unique
knowledge base routinely offers innovative solutions that
minimize initial cost while maximizing overall lifetime value.
Concurrent engineering techniques can significantly reduce total
component production time. For example, computer-aided solidification
simulation models evaluate everything from cooling times to
problem areas before molten metal ever hits the mold. This technique helps
assure a quality result in a time- and cost-efficient manner. Plus, our
extensive metallurgical expertise – including custom engineered
chrome-nickel-moly cast steels – allows you to take advantage of higher
through-hardnesses and improved machineability.
Process advancements set new standards for heavy-section steel casting
quality. We use bottom-pour ladles to minimize oxidation, thus
ensuring unparalleled casting integrity. Castings can be poured at the rate
of up to a ton per second achieving unit weight capacities of up to 45,359
kg (100,000 lbs). Plus, unique risering techniques enhance the integrity of
the finished product. In the case of this drag line center pintle casting,
we were able to produce a cast solution with quality and reliability
characteristics that exceeded a forged-fabricated component... in less time
and at a significantly lower price.
Overall application engineering innovations help customers
around the world minimize their total cost of ownership. Our split
riding ring is a classic example of ingenuity in action. This unique
design reduces installation time from six days or more to approximately
three shifts. It also minimizes shipping and crane rental costs. It’s just
one of the many ways we work with customers to develop new and better
ways to deliver the best lifetime value.
