What industrial buyers need from a casting partner
Procurement teams sourcing industrial casting are working to strict standards, often across multiple component types and applications. There is no margin for parts that fall outside specification, so reliability, traceability, and process control are critical from the start.
- Components made to drawing and specification across industrial investment casting and sand casting processes
- Consistent part quality and traceability across production runs
- Practical input through Design for Manufacturing before production begins
- Process and material selection matched to application requirements
- One contact managing foundry services, machining, and supply
Industrial casting capabilities
Kormax delivers industrial casting by coordinating process selection, engineering input, machining, inspection, and supply through approved foundry partners. Each component is aligned to the demands of its application, so performance is built in from the start.
- Pressure integrity for valve casting applications
- Wear resistance for pump castings
- Abrasion resistance for mining and heavy-duty equipment
- High-temperature performance for investment casting turbine components
Supporting services are integrated across every stage, including Design for Manufacturing, precision machining, and full metal casting services. Material selection is also matched to application requirements through our engineering materials expertise.
Engineering support and Design for Manufacturing
We provide practical engineering input to support geometry, tolerances, process fit, and material selection early in the design stage. Through Design for Manufacturing, components are aligned to the most suitable casting process before production begins.
This helps reduce rework, avoid delays, and limit costly changes later, ensuring parts meet specification from the first run.
Casting processes for industrial components
Different casting processes suit different industrial applications, depending on part size, complexity, and required performance in service.
Investment Casting
Ideal for precision industrial investment casting applications, especially components with complex geometry and tighter tolerances such as investment casting turbine blades. A key strength is the ability to maintain accuracy and deliver repeatable quality across production runs.
Sand Casting
Well suited to larger, heavier industrial components in which strength and durability are critical. A practical choice for high-load structural parts such as valve casting bodies and pump castings, as well as oversized components used across industrial systems.
Machining and secondary operations
Post-casting processes ensure components meet final specifications and functional requirements. Kormax coordinates precision machining, finishing, and secondary operations so parts arrive to print and are ready for use.
Quality assurance and inspection
Quality is verified through defined approval processes, dimensional inspection, and material certification at each stage of industrial casting production. Inspection checkpoints and documentation confirm parts meet specifications and remain consistent across repeat production runs.
Traceability is maintained to support project requirements, backed by ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001-certified systems for NZ and AU, with controlled processes through approved foundry partners.
Supply coordination
Repeat industrial casting supply is managed through a dedicated contact, simplifying procurement across multiple component types. Lead times, documentation, and order scheduling are coordinated end to end to keep supply stable and predictable.
This reduces complexity for procurement teams and ensures continuity across ongoing production runs.
Alloys for industrial castings
Alloy selection plays a critical role in industrial casting performance, depending on operating environment, temperature, pressure, and corrosion exposure. Choosing the right material ensures components meet both mechanical and service requirements.
We support a broad range of materials through our engineering materials offering, including the following:
