Why Castings?

During the mid-70's, there was an industry-wide tendency away from castings and towards forgings and fabrications, due, in part, to the attrition of iron foundries because of safety and pollution legislation. But recent years have shown a marked return to castings for their machinability and flexibility in design. Iron castings have :

• Incomparable mixture of damping capacity
• Tensile Strength
• Durability
• Castability
