Materials we supply
Sand castings from one piece to repeat production, machined and finished to print.
Aluminum

Aluminum castings →
Ductile Iron
Strength and toughness. ASTM A536 grades and ADI.
Ductile Iron castings →
Gray Iron
Damping and machinability. ASTM A48 Class 25 to 40.
Gray Iron castings →
Steel
Carbon, low-alloy and stainless for demanding service.
Steel castings →What we design around before the tooling is built
These are the problems that usually show up later, at the foundry, in machining, or in a failed test. We look for them before tooling is built.
- WALLS
Thin walls and heavy sections
Walls too thin to fill and heavy spots that shrink are the most common casting problems. We point them out before tooling is built.
- CORES
Cores and passages
Internal passages need cores that can be made, held and cleaned out. We check them before tooling is built.
- STOCK
Machining stock
Machined faces and bores need enough stock to clean up. We plan it into the pattern before tooling.
- TOLERANCE
Tolerances vs. sand
Some print tolerances are tighter than sand casting can hold. We flag those features so they get machining stock instead of becoming rejects.
- TESTING
Testing callouts
X-ray, pressure tests, test bars and other print notes add cost and lead time. We list every one on the quote.
- FIT
If your part isn't a good fit, we'll tell you quickly.
You get a straight answer before anyone spends time on a quote.
From pattern to casting
The pattern decides the part. We design and control it, so the casting comes out the way the print needs it. Two of our jobs: a ductile iron motor frame and a machined steel part.
CPM Industries has demonstrated time and time again to be dependable and reliable to work with. They will be there when you need them.
