Aluminum Casting

We can produce aluminum casting part drawings for both the permanent mould and die cast moulding processes. for the pump industry we produce casting drawings for pump volutes,impellers, motor mounts and more. In either case we can apply our experience to produce an casting part drawing that incorporates proper draft angles and appropriate machining allowances.

The permanent mould casting process is more suited to low volume production or prototype parts such as house numbers, medallions, novelty items and ornaments. We can use solidworks to create these parts and use the the software to predict the ultimate weight of the part to enable you to find the most economical part design.

We can address manufacturing difficulties before expenses are incurred in producing tooling. Aluminum die casting part drawings can be produced incorporating proper draft angles and allowances. We can take advantage of the ability of aluminum die casting to produce finely detailed parts at relatively low cost.

Casting drawings are also important if you are thinking of sourcing a part overseas and need to communicate the design intent with a supplier in the Far East or India.

If you have a new product and require aluminum alloy casting we can help you with its production. We deal closely with aluminum foundries and have sources for the manufacture of the part in addition to doing the design and drafting work for the aluminum alloy casting or aluminum die casting part drawings. Please contact us if you have any requirements.

for more information on aluminum casting try turning to the handbooks produced by the A.S.M. These are highly detailed and offer a wealth of information on material selection. Click the link to the ASM Aluminum and Aluminum Alloys handbook

  • The F-35, Joint strike search and rescue fighter
    The recent 16 billion dollar purchase of F-35 stealth fighters is a triumph in buying American . While Canada needs more search and rescue planes to patrol the oceans the Canadian government decides to purchase stealth fighters. One wonders what kind of a changing role the Canadian air force has up its sleeve for these high tech seek and destroy weapons.

    Perhaps the stealth and speed will allow our pilots to sneak up on sailors before they even get shipwrecked. The pilot can launch missiles at the pesky shoals or reefs blowing them up, preventing any marine disaster from ever happening.

    Canadian Pilots flying the joint strike fighter solo over the arctic are assured that the fighters engine is more “robust” and unlikely to fail. Much like the Titanic was unsinkable. It will be cold comfort to a our pilots, reflecting on their emergency manual which said “relax, your jet engine is robust” as they eject in 50 below temperature.

    Worse, the purchase of joint strike fighters protect American jobs, not Canadian ones, as the purchase of Bombardier search and rescue planes would have. Unfortunately when the Pentagon barks, we have to pay attention. This was true in the days of the Avro Arrow and now again with the F-35 joint strike fighter.
