CASTING CONTEST


WINNERS


Fabricated Conversion Wins Marine Award The customer originally fabricated this part by forming stainless


steel plates welding multiple pieces together. This was a very time- consuming operation to fabricate a single part, and left sharp edges and corners that were cutting the hoses that the part is designed to keep separate. The fabricated parts were also not as consistent as desired creating uneven winding on the hoses. Working with the customer, TPM added rounded edges and radii to the part, eliminating the sharp edges that were impacting component functionality, reduced component weight, incorporated integral component markings and provided the customer with lot traceability. To enhance corrosion resistance, TPM provided the customer with post-cast electro-polishing, which had the added benefit of making the component aesthetically pleasing.


PART: Hose Spreader Size: 6 x 5 x 4 in., 5 Lbs. Alloy: CF8
