In the context of modern demands of the growing manufacturing sector, success relies heavily on precision, reliability and innovation. Such qualities are fully demonstrated by CFS Foundry, a company from China specialising in metal casting and CNC machining. From stainless steel to aluminum casting, our company offers excellent solutions for various industries worldwide.
Now let’s see what makes CFS Foundry unique, what are the casting techniques we use and what types of products we manufacture.
CFS Foundry Background: A History of Craftsmanship and Creativity
CFS Foundry has a strong reputation for providing metal casting and CNC machining services that are unique to the specific requirements of the clients. From its inception, the aim of our company was to break the standards of traditional manufacturing and for this reason, has been incorporating sophisticated technologies to satisfy the needs of contemporary industries.
We focus on two different casting methods, which are investment casting and die casting. Each of the processes has different specifications, which allows us to cater to various sectors including automotive, aerospace medical construction and marine. CFS Foundry practices a green approach and is therefore committed to ensuring that all sourced materials and manufactured products are both high quality and environmentally friendly.
Casting Techniques Core at CFS Foundry
Our operational activity at CFS Foundry pivots on two main methods of casting: investment casting and die-casting. These processes allow us to offer a variety of different metal parts which are equally durable and accurate to any engineering specification. Although each of the processes has its distinctive purposes, the range of materials we work with includes: stainless steel, carbon steel, nickel-based alloys, aluminium and zinc; which makes it possible for us to serve different industrial sectors. An explanation of our principal casting processes follows below.
1. Investment Casting
Investment casting (the lost-wax method) is the most common technique that we implement in our work. This procedure is all about having a high level of precision. It is performed by making a wax model, covering it in a ceramic shell, and pouring molten metal into the shell’s inner cavity in order to produce a part.
Investment Casting’s Key Features:
Wide Range of Casting Materials: Investment casting allows using stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel and nickel-based alloys. Out of those materials, stainless steel casting is mostly used due to its toughness, and no need for enhancements due to its resiliency to corrosion, but other materials can also be used, depending on the usage.
Complex Geometries: This process is unique such that it allows for the casting of very intricate shapes, internal cavities, and particular features which would be very difficult to achieve by other techniques.
Satisfactory Surface Finish: Parts produced by investment casting have minimum surface finish requirements.
High Firmness: All components are made to strict tolerances, within design limits and functional requirements.
Investment Casting Applications:
Aerospace Industry: This includes turbine blades, precision engine components, and structural brackets.
Industrial Machinery: This includes valve bodies, pump housings, and other machine parts.
Medical Technology: This includes surgical tools and orthopaedic inserts.
Automobile: This includes turbocharger housings, suspension components, and other safety-critical components.
All parts manufactured by CFS Foundry because of our thorough process in superb investment casting meet industry standards at the minimum or at the very least, exceed those standards.
2. Die Casting
Die casting is another prominent process offered at CFS Foundry, primarily used to produce parts in high volumes and geometric complexity while having consistent properties. In this technique, molten metal (most commonly aluminium or zinc) is injected into a steel die under high pressure.
Key Features of Die Casting:
Wider Range of Materials: Aluminium and zinc are the dominant materials used in die casting. Aluminium parts have a low weight and high corrosion resistance, however, zinc has very good strength characteristics with excellent dimensional stability.
Quick delivery of output: Die castings have a quicker cycle time while retaining lasting quality, thus it is convenient for mass production.
Consistent and Fine Surface Finishes: Components are all identical and proficiently made, decreasing secondary processes altogether.
Precision of Size: Dimensional tolerance on die-casting parts is precise.
Applications of Die Casting:
Automotive: Parts that are designed to interact with the engine, covers, and parts of the construction.
Consumer Electronics: Housings, radiators and other parts of electronics.
Aerospace: Low-weight structural or mechanical parts.
Industrial Applications: Gear cases, connectors and miscellaneous gadgets.
CFS Foundry has advanced die-casting machines which guarantee that speed, cost-effectiveness and quality are precision interrelated to every stage of production of the component.
CFS Foundry uses both die and investment castings for aluminium and modifies the casting for the requirements of the projects.
Value-Added Activities in CFS Foundry
1. Complex CNC Machining
In addition to casting, we also provide complex CNC machining specifically intended for the final stages in the need to reduce add-on metal parts. Thus, the product in question will be of precise tolerances and can be used after its manufacture without additional procedures.
The available machining of the CNC machine centre incorporating milling, turning, drilling and grinding, enables the production and delivery of intricacy in shapes and high-quality surface finishing.
2. Customisation and Prototyping
CFS Foundry is particularly good at making one-off solutions for customers with difficult requirements. We go through the entire process from making a prototype to mass production in partnership with the clients.
3. Enhanced Quality Control Procedures
Quality control measures in the organisation can never be compromised. Every product passes through a series of inspection procedures which include: dimensional measurement, material examination and non-destructive inspection. We are in compliance with ISO 9001 international standards and constantly by this standard we guarantee quality.
