Kormax follows a clear, engineering-led project process that gives Australian customers visibility, control and confidence at every stage of a metal casting project.
We assess drawings, CAD models and performance criteria to provide early design and process guidance that supports manufacturability and performance.
Tooling development is followed by sample production and validation to ensure dimensional and material requirements are met.
Metal castings in Australia are manufactured using the selected process and alloy, with machining and finishing completed as required and quality checks applied throughout production.
Finished components are managed through logistics, stockholding or scheduled supply programs, ensuring reliable delivery and continuity for ongoing Australian projects.
In addition to finished cast components, Kormax supports Australian manufacturers with related engineering materials to suit ongoing production needs. This allows customers to work with a single partner for both component manufacture and material supply, improving consistency and simplifying procurement.
Kormax supplies a range of material product families to Australian customers, including products such as aluminium 6061 and aluminium 7075 profiles, along with selected bronze products for applications requiring strength, wear resistance or corrosion performance.
When you choose Kormax as both your metal casting manufacturer and ongoing materials supplier, you benefit from aligned specifications, reliable supply and reduced supplier complexity across all your production operations.
An Australian industrial manufacturer needed a robust pump housing solution where previous suppliers struggled with inconsistent quality. Kormax recommended a centrifugal casting process with optimised alloy selection, resulting in improved material density, reduced wear and longer service life, supporting more reliable plant operation.
For a hydraulics company operating in the underground mining sector, Kormax supported the development of a new safety-critical stainless steel component using the investment casting process. Through early design-for-casting advice, we helped refine the component to ensure castability and performance, successfully producing test samples for validation. Once implemented, this product is expected to significantly improve underground safety and help save lives across the mining sector.
For a defence project, Kormax manufactured a critical component in high-strength alloy steel. The customer initially faced challenges achieving consistent quality and reliable production volumes due to strict performance and compliance requirements. By applying robust process control and quality assurance systems, Kormax delivered repeatable quality and dependable supply where few suppliers were able to meet the project’s demanding standards.
These examples show how Kormax combines engineering expertise, process knowledge and global manufacturing capability to support Australian projects with demanding technical requirements.
