custom cast iron casting foundry in oklahoma

Working with CIC ensures that all of your grey cast iron castings requirements are considered for your application.ĬIC's grey cast iron castings consulting, quality component manufacturing, supply chain management and warehousing options exceed industry standards and provide the best overall value and savings.ĬIC supplies many special casting alloys as well as many more common alloys as listed below, including aluminum, magnesium, beryllium copper, nickel, titanium, refractory metals, gray iron, ductile iron, carbon steel, alloy steels and stainless steel as well as other less common alloys. CIC helps their customers 'engineer savings' by providing cost effective grey cast iron castings design solutions, sourcing and warehousing.ĬIC provides cost efficient die castings, semisolid castings, shell castings, permanent mold castings, sand castings, investment castings, centrifugal castings and prototype castings.Įach casting type and alloy has pros and cons regarding cost, volume production, metallurgical quality, dimensions held, reliability and competitiveness.Ĭasting characteristics to consider include cost, strength, hardness, density weight limitations, bearing qualities, if needed including galling resistance, machinability, weldability, brazabilty, abrasion resistance, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, fatigue properties, resistance to cracking, electrical conductivity, magnetic properties, thermal conductivity and other engineering or technical attributes. The casting process may vary based on production volume and casting tolerance capability of the process. The grey cast iron castings is usually the most cost-effective method to produce complex or large parts for prototype quantities to medium and high-volume quantities.grey cast iron castings are cast to size. CIC can help minimize the need for expensive secondary operations by choosing an optimal casting process. However, to achieve many close tolerances, threads, or surface finishes machining is required. Net shape production is sometimes achievable so that the parts are usable as cast.

Castings allow you to choose from many alloys as well as have flexibility for internal and external configurations to suit your particular needs.

With the correct grey cast iron castings design and process many parts can be combined into a single part &emdash helping reduce costs by reducing or eliminating machining, by providing assembly, as well as by reducing the number of components in inventory and other associated costs.

The grey cast iron castings shapes that can be produced are almost limitless.

To complete the process after the grey cast iron castings parts are cooled, gating is removed and then they are typically ground and cleaned, and machined if necessary, to produce a semi-finished or finished part. If the melting point of the alloy is higher than the mold melting point, then reusable molds are not an option. Reusable molds depend on the alloy melting points. Most common castings alloys can be cast using expendable molds. The cast metal part is removed from the mold either by injection or destruction of the mold. Casting is most often used for making complex shapes that would otherwise be difficult or cost prohibitive to produce by other methods.

The solidified part is known as a casting which is broken out or ejected from the mold to complete the process.

We provide all types of grey cast iron castings, which is a process where molten metal is injected at high pressure or poured into a mold containing a hollow cavity the shape of the part to form an object to a desired shape. CIC specializes in Grey Cast Iron Castings.
