Applications for Heat Resisting Cast Alloys on Stand G92, UK Metals Expo

BURY, U.K. - Aug. 7, 2024 - PRLog -- The Wallwork Cast Alloys foundry was set-up in 1986 to supply parent company Wallwork Group with heat resistant furnace jigs, fixtures and spares to meet their aerospace quality needs for heat treatment furnaces.

The foundry team are also keen to show how they apply this expertise to castings for other companies in wind turbines, offshore, chemical, aerospace, glass melting, decorative castings, plaques, and metal printing build plates.

Across four sites in Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and Cambridge, Wallwork Group operates many furnace types and sizes including sealed quench and vacuum furnaces. Meeting this constant need for bespoke jigs and furnace furniture  means the foundry team has amassed a wealth of experience that they bring to customers. The team understands the properties that are essential to make reliable high quality heat resistant castings.

There are three predominant groups of alloys used in heat treating or high-temperature applications. These are chromium and iron based; chromium, nickel, and iron based; and nickel, chromium, and iron alloys.

Casting capacity ranges from 0.5kg up to 500kg including running systems and feeders. These can be produced as one-off or in multiple batches. Short delivery times at competitive pricing are supported by prompt reliable delivery and collection via the Wallwork Group nationwide commercial pick-up/delivery fleet. There is even provision for emergency delivery of castings on request.

The company holds extensive stocks of industry standard patterns for most major furnace manufacturers and bespoke ones for customers. They can manufacture castings from customer patterns and drawings, and also offer in-house CAD / Solidworks design and bespoke pattern making services.

Foundry manger Alex Beck explained, "Quality is ingrained in everything we do, Wallwork Cast Alloys conform to ISO9001 accredited processes. Wallwork Group operates to the exacting standards of aerospace primes and component manufacturers, Nadcap and AS/EN9100. The foundry also shares the same high service ethic as the Group."
