What You Get with Kormax’s Cast Iron Alloy Casting Solutions
Custom Cast Iron Casting Service
Cast iron alloy castings are produced to your drawings, specifications, and functional requirements. Rather than operating as a traditional cast iron casting company, Kormax manages the entire project through proven foundries.
Casting Process Selection Support
Kormax recommends the optimal casting process, whether that be sand, investment, centrifugal, or continuous casting, based on part geometry, production volume, performance requirements, and cost.
Iron Grade & Type Selection Advice
Our engineering team helps select the right cast iron type, from gray iron, ductile iron, ADI, and wear-resistant grades, depending on strength, machinability, damping, and abrasion requirements.
Finishing, Machining, & Post-Processing Coordination
Kormax coordinates machining, heat treatment, surface finishing, coating, and inspection, giving customers a single point of contact until components are ready for installation or assembly.
Access to a Global Foundry Network
Kormax invests with international foundries that are selected for their capability, consistency, and capacity.
Quality Management & Inspection Checkpoints
Inspection requirements and material certifications are agreed upon upfront to align with your specifications. All our casting is supported by defined quality checkpoints throughout the manufacturing process.
Cast Iron Grades We Support
If you’re replacing an existing component or specifying a new casting, Kormax can help you select the recommended alloy cast iron grade for your application. Our engineering team will recommend the right material based on your performance requirements, manufacturing process, and service conditions.
