Centrifugals
Bi-Metal Canister Development For Nuclear - Bi-metal designs including an inner core of aluminum bronze and outer shell of pure copper provided the strength and environment protection for developmental container designs.
Cast Outlet Manifolds - Centrifugally cast manifolds from MetalTek have saved customers time and money compared to extruded or forged manifolds.
Controllable Pitch Hub - Large MetalTek bronze centrifugal components in marine applications have eliminated fabrication costs, and defects only found after machining.
Fancase Mandrel - The use of centrifugal castings in tooling of large round components has increased tool life by 5x compared to fabricated assemblies, because of a centrifugal casting's tendency to retain its round shape.
Galvanizing Rolls - The combination of sand cast spokes, centrifugally cast rolls, fabrication, and machining - all in-house - has long provided single source benefit to mill customers.
Net Shape Examples - O.D. features are directly cast to reduce subsequent machining and processing cost. Customers have discovered that the small one-time tooling costs have made net shaping practical even for low volume applications.
Processing Rolls - MetalTek metallurgists have helped customers select alloys with the correct coefficient of thermal expansion for high temperature corrosive roll applications.
Shaft Sleeves - Early alloy development and homogeneous grain structure have established MetalTek as the world's leading producer of naval shaft sleeves.
Spiral Cone For Orange Juice Centrifuge - Rotating parts using sand castings are often nearly impossible to balance. So a food processing customer employed MetalTek centrifugals for their application because metal is more homogeneous and evenly balanced.
