Investment casting is a very old metal casting process which has been used for more than 5,000 years in different forms. Since it is a very slow and difficult process, it requires expertise and a unique setup. There are hundreds of investment casting manufacturing companies across the globe but a few of them who stand apart in manufacturing Investment castings. Austin Alloy Cast is one of the global manufacturing companies which not only has proper infrastructure but also has expertise to understand the process and use it to manufacture quality components. So, what else sets Austin Alloy Cast apart?

We discussed the importance of alloy selection for your metal components in an earlier article. After alloy selection, the surface finish of the metal also plays a very important role. Right surface finish increases the life-span of the component. In this article we’ll discuss how it can increase the lifespan of the component or machine part and other advantages of right surface finish.

Surface finish is a metal finishing process which is normally performed in the last stage after manufacturing is done. The surface of the component is given various treatments like polishing, reshaping, painting, etc. This way metal component manufacturers or investment casting companies finish the manufacturing process.

Right surface finish increases the life value of metal components. Different components have different requirements for surface finish. Some components or parts need rough surface finish whereas some parts need glossy finish. For example, some machine parts used in heavy earth moving machineries should be painted or coated, however components used in food processing machineries require glossy surface finish to avoid food particles gathering. Sometimes the same surface finish requires different methods. Colour coating on surfaces can be done by painting or spraying.

How does metal surface finishing increase the lifespan of metal components?

Some metals are prone to corrosion in humid weather conditions. Metal coating creates an inert (non-reactive) barrier around the metallic object. This stops the amalgamation from happening and increases lifespan of the metals. Another example of surface finishing is ‘tumble blasting’. Tumble blasting delivers consistent surface finish. The process removes the burrs, rust, heat treat scales, etc. This enhances surface finish and helps improve the lifespan of the metal.

Why is surface finishing best at Austin Alloy Cast?

Austin Alloy Cast is fully-equipped for any process required to manufacture quality machine parts or metal components for oil and gas, heavy earth moving, food processing, mineral and general engineering industries. We at Austin Alloy Cast are able to achieve exceptional surface finish which is near net shape. We deliver following metal surface finish:

For any pulling, tying or lifting operation, what one must check is the rope or wire quality before using. It is equally important to check rope fitting component quality as well. Austin Alloy Cast manufactures rope fitting investment casted components which are strong and safe with better usability.

Our design philosophy to cast rope fitting accessories is to consider various quality parameters which include metal strength, durability, functionality, safety, appearance, etc.

List of rope fitting cast components we manufacture:

Open Socket Castings

Wedge Castings

Connector Fitting Castings

Closed Socket Castings

Open Spelter Socket Castings

Closed Spelter Socket Castings

Each part passes through various key manufacturing parameters. Below given is a product image of rope fitting components manufactured at Austin Alloy Cast.

Manufacturing quality components is not enough. Our stringent testing systems make sure that rope fittings components end users will use are safe and reliable. Non-destructive tests like radiography and ultrasonic testing are the benchmarks to test reliability and quality of components. And we at Austin Alloy Cast do those tests.

Our strength lies in Carbon Steel & Stainless Steel alloys rope fitting components manufactured by the Lost-wax Investment Casting & Sand Casting processes. We have been serving our customers in the Rope fitting domains since the last 10 years and continue to expand our portfolio in the industry. However, our expert and experienced team members can custom design components for any specific requirements.
