A Team of Oil and Gas Industry Experts
The Oil and Gas industry specifies some of the most carefully engineered components for volatile, high-pressure applications due to the risk of catastrophic failure. We and inexperienced suppliers are not an option. For centrifugal oil and gas castings, Elimold has earned the trust of most major OEMs for its ability to meet the material needs specified by engineers. Buyers know they can trust our staff to understand, review and adhere to their specifications for oil and gas castings, whether industry standard or customer specific. We have the flexibility to manufacture a one-off prototype, a few repair spares, or a large production run for a new product launch. All orders receive the same level of professional attention that Elimold’s loyal customers demand. In this industry, a perfect product is essential. From liquid metal to finished component, every step of production is monitored through Elimold’s highly regarded quality program.
Precision Castings for the Oil and Gas Market
Elimold manufactures precision products for the oil and gas industry. Our custom products are made from a variety of materials including aluminum, stainless steel, tool steel, cobalt, Inconel and Hastelloy, and are durable enough to withstand high temperatures and high cycles of use. Using precision die casting, sand casting or multi-step investment casting processes, we provide castings including instrument housings, ball and needle valve assemblies, impellers and flanges with precise details and tight tolerances.
Elimold offers low-volume and high-volume production, as well as rapid prototyping to develop custom products. We also offer a range of non-destructive testing to ensure we meet or exceed stringent quality and performance standards, including X-ray, magnetic particle and dye penetrant testing.
Our Capabilities
Elimold has extensive experience working with oil and gas equipment manufacturers. We manufacture large nickel aluminum bronze pump casings for deep sea oil production, with castings weighing up to 870 pounds and pour weights up to 2400 pounds. Air molds weigh over 8000 pounds. Our castings operate in harsh acidic and alkaline environments that would destroy steel in two weeks. The aluminum bronze will show no signs of wear or corrosion after years of use. They pump fluids at 3000 psi. We have developed a special high pressure static mold design that produces flawless, completely non-porous castings that can withstand these pressures. These castings range in size from 275 pounds to 870 pounds. They are complex castings that other foundries cannot do, but are standard product for us.
We also produce thousands of valve casting parts used in the storage, transmission and production of oil and gas. Specified alloys include C83600, C83450, C95400, C95500, C90300, C92200, etc.
In-house Design and Fit-out Services
In addition to die casting, Elimold also offers early design engineering development and prototyping services as well as complete in-house secondary solutions including machining, finishing and assembly. Our quality management system is certified to ISO 9001:2015 and we employ all forms of technology including:
- Visi-Trak process monitoring
- MAGMA casting simulation
- X-ray: Digital radiography (real-time), computed radiography (CR) and traditional film
- CAD systems: Pro/ENGINEER and SOLIDWORKS
- Full metallurgical and non-destructive testing labs
Why Choose Elimold for Your Oil Industry Castings
In the oil industry, component failure is not an option, and quality is not just an added benefit, but a necessity. That’s why we’ve invested in quality certifications that set us apart in the field.
