Our equipment consists of tilt machines for perm mold casting, seven melt furnaces all gas fired, low volume heat treat capability, grinders, sanders and band saw for finishing as well as limited sand casting capability for prototype use. All of our alloy is degassed via our Dynarad auto degassing unit using nitrogen. All batches or melts are 100% tested for out-gassing and spectrographic samples are taken and inventoried for analysis by our outside test lab located in Fresno, California 30 minutes from our facility. |
