GRAPHITE CASTING APPLICATIONS
Consider low-cost replacement of machined and fabricated parts with high performance ZA-12 Zinc Castings.
Electrical Enclosures
- From Power to Instrumentation.
Anodes
- Cast to ASTM and U.S. Navy Specifications using graphite molds, ladles and crucibles.
Weldment Replacements
- Mounting Brackets showing original design with 6 different parts reduced to 3.
- Note: The steel tube is cast in place.
Limited Production Prototypes
- Tractor Carburetor parts
- Low Volume Start-up Production before committing to higher cost die-cast set-up.
Rollers
- Rollers showing iolite bushing cast in place.
- Bushings and bearings can be press fitted after machining.
Machined Parts
- Fully machined hydraulic cylinder and manifold castings.
Fine Detail
- Crest showing the fine detail that can be achieved with graphite and ZA-12
Hardware
- Various hardware parts used for commercial doors latches and lifting mechanisms.
Adapters and Spaces
- To adapt gas or electric motors to hydraulic pumps and blowers.
Difficult Parts
- It is often easier to machine the negative shape of a part, verses the actual part.
- This makes casting a cost effective solution even for small runs.
Bearing Houses
- Castings save machining time and material wastage by forming a part to a hollow shape before assembling the bearing.
Coatings
- ZA-12 castings are easily powder coated, plated or impregnated for pressure tightness.
Turned Parts
- Full CNC capability
Finished Assemblies
- Finished Switch Handle assembly with machined brass shaft and instruction decals.
Access Box and Covers
- Thin walled casting with a cover complete with customer logo.
