[I] A sample bracket shape part. These parts can be used for sup- porting, holding, or strengthening requirements. Unlimited alloy


selection.


[3J Large Castings. These parts weigh up to 25 pounds. Weight is no criterion of size because our casting process permits a weight


reduction of more than 50% in these parts compared to that attainable in some other metalforming techniques.


Cross-sectioned part to show internal passageways usually im- possible to achieve, or uneconomical to fabricate, except by the investment casting process. Alloy selection is unlimited in th is type of shape.


[i] Subminiature Castings. This steel casting atomizes fuel in a small rocket engine. The part weighs 354 to the ounce and the wasp


can carry 39 of them_ Notice the as-cast detai'-


0 Simple Shapes. Current casting technology permits the economi- cal production of simple shapes such as these. The straight bar


at the top is of silicon brass, the square block at the bottom is of low alloy steel, the kidney-shape part near the center is of aluminum, and the round bar is of a refractory meta'- There is almost no limitation of shape or alloy in cast parts.


~ Complex Part. This steel valve body is cross-sectioned to show its interior passageways and illustrates the design possibilities of investment castings.


[ii Miniature Castings. These 165 different castings represent 47 different ferrous and nonferrous alloys. To illustrate space-saving characteristics of castings, all of these parts can be placed into the cigarette pack without distortion of the package_


[!] Heavy-Duty Castings. Mass of part is placed to meet structural requirements at lowest cost.


~ Impellers. Knife edges, thin volute blades, and passageways of any shape are easily achieved with castings. Steel bearings can be cast in aluminum and copper-base alloys for extreme func- tional needs.


[!Q] One Ounce to One Pound Castings. Put metal where you need it with castings - match mass and weight of part with its func- tional requirements.


[!_] Lever and lever-shape parts of the simplest to most complex shapes.


~Parts_ with small to large diameter holes; thin to wide slots; com- bination of holes and slots; and, alloys for unlimited applications_
