Small Foundry

[Karl Brown 1Participant @karlbrown1]

Hi all,

Just trying to gauge what interest my small home aluminium foundry would be to anyone looking forcastings that maybe large manufacturers may not be interested in producing? Just a thought but if anyone is interested feel free to contact me. I have worked previously in the foundry industry and have just used it as a bit of a hobby.

Karl,

Would be interested if you would share your knowledge of metalcasting / foundry construction for small scale casting.

Hi There

Model Engineers' Workshop 208 will have an article on aluminium casting in steel dies if anyone is interested.

Hi Coalburner,

I have worked in metallurgical process control producing castings in a wide range of materials. I also have a bit of shop floor hands on experience. This has been working on cast weights of anything from a few kgs to a few tons.
