Come to us and enjoy our defense and military casting services. The inspections we perform for defense and military casting services include the following:
X-Ray Inspection
Digital radiography utilizes X-ray scanning and digital sensors to provide high-detail scans of our products. This imaging can provide insights into our castings’ thickness, defects, and quality. The digital readout provides instant feedback and immediate defect detection in any of our products.
Chemical/Physical Testing
A full array of chemical and physical tests are done throughout our production line, including Spectrometry to ensure alloy composition, Brinell Hardness and Test Bar Tensile Testing for strength, Sand Analysis for our no-bake & green sand composition, and gauging for exact measurements.
LPI Inspection
Liquid Penetration Testing ensures no components have cracked or been damaged after cooling. In this test, a fluorescent dye is applied to the element, and a dry powder is used to draw out and highlight cracks or other defects in the material’s surface so they can be discarded.
First Article Inspection
The first batch of every new process is sampled for a first article inspection. This quality check allows us to ensure we correctly perform our castings according to your specifications and needs. This inspection includes hardness, conductivity, dimensions, and other design requirements.
