Gray Iron Casting Services

Gray Iron Casting Services

Since 1923, the Warsaw Foundry Company has been providing quality castings from gray iron, ductile iron, and alloy gray iron, to customers in a wide range of industries. We specialize in green sand molding with wood, plastic, steel, and aluminum patterns, providing castings from 1 ounce to 150 lbs, in tensile strengths from 25,000 to 100,000 psi. We utilize various automatic and hydraulic equipment such as our Hunter molding machines that feature flask sizes of 14" x 19" and 20" x 24", and 14 shell core machines which gives us medium volume core making capabilities. We also offer squeezer match plates, which are handmade molds that can be used for item with flask sizes beyond equipment capacity, and utilize pneumatic and semi-manual processes. Squeezer and floor molding capabilities are available for short run and deep draw items. These capabilities which can achieve tolerances of ±.030", are supported by our Coreless induction furnace; this provides us with a melting capacity of 1.6 tons per hour.

Augmenting our comprehensive casting capabilities is our ability to assemble intricate cores, and provide pattern repair and set up in-house. Our operation is geared towards casting runs from a single piece to 20,000 pieces per month, depending on casting design and weight.

At Warsaw Foundry, we take quality seriously, our facility is ISO 9001:2008 certified and we can comply with various industry standards.
