During the past months one topic has reached all the main news around the world… COVID-19. During this pandemic, awareness of prevention and the implementation of new strategies to create materials with antimicrobial benefits have grown. In consequence, we want to share with our clients some comparisons between materials with antimicrobial properties. We’ll address Copper […]

During the past several months, we all have had our lives affected not only in Canada, and North America, but also around the world by Covid-19. With the current pandemic of this deadly virus, increasing awareness and supporting the implementation of antimicrobial/antibacterial materials is imperative for our industry. Therefore, we wanted to share some information […]

The occurrence of defects in sand-castings is usually higher than other manufacturing methods due to the sheer number variables that come into play during the process. In foundries, turbulence during mold filling, contact of molten metal with a (usually cold and damp) sand mold and subsequent solidification means that there are many opportunities for something […]

Sand casting is an extremely flexible process that can benefit from economies of scale when large production runs are needed but is also reasonably flexible to produce complex parts that usually replace several assembled and/or welded components. Molds produced with silica sand have enough temperature resistance and mechanical strength to cast nearly every metal used […]
