Precision Casting Parts

While some precision casting parts are created by special order with specific run sizes, others are created by the foundry as replacement parts. These replacement casting parts can then be sold on the open market to any industry that need parts to complete the items they manufacture.

While the manufacturers may be different there are certain precision casting parts that will be universal to similar products and designs. The parts may be cast from stainless steel, an aluminum alloy, brass or any number of metals and metal alloys. They may also require post-precision casting machining or none at all. What they do is supply a market by creating generic casting parts that can be used by a number of manufacturers.

Here’s just a brief example of some of the different parts or the products that use those parts:

• door closer
• metering pumps
• punching parts
• stamping parts
• stove top pan support
• auto parts
• geared motors
• brake shoe
• marine hardware cleats
• dome valves
• massage bed
• trailer parts (hitch balls, wheel hubs, etc)
• bucket teeth
• ball valve parts
• OEM vehicle parts
• Faucets
• Curtain wall parts

Like an iceberg this is just the tip of the precision casting parts that are cast by investment casting companies to supply the manufacturing and repair parts markets. Many of those who pour casting parts for generic markets are located in China and Asia.
