Compare Casting to Fabrication
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.
Food Processing Grinder - Very large 280# investment castings replaced fabrications, reduced labor cost, and provided product consistency for a food processing customer.
Sandia National Labs - Very large investment castings provided dimensional stability that fabrications could not in applications like energy research.
Spiral Cast Pipe ID - ID shaping of centrifugals has helped the chemical processing industry improve efficiency by up to 4x by keeping in-process fluid materials moving.
