Aluminum Alloys, Inc.

Aluminum Alloys is the largest foundry of its type on the East Coast. Specializing in large, complex aluminum castings, Aluminum Alloys offers design, manufacturing, and finishing facilities for aluminum castings production. By keeping all casting manufacturing in-house, Aluminum Alloy maintains better control of the manufacturing process, reduces overall lead time for clients, and typically saves customers from 7 to 12% in hidden manufacturing costs.

Aluminum Alloys operates as three facilities within one. Small parts weighing 1 to 30 pounds are molded on one of three fully automatic cost efficient moldling machines. Molds can be produced in 45 seconds on this equipment. Parts 30 to 100 pounds are molded on semi-automatic roto-lift stations, while large parts, 100 to 2000 pounds are molded by experienced craftsmen coordinated with single pour technology, which in turn saves cost.

More than 51 years of excellence in customer service and product superiority are characteristics of this company’s dedication to the perfection of the aluminum sand castings they produce. Aluminum Alloys is the largest foundry of its type on the East Coast with its own machine shop, providing in-house machining and finishing capability to furnish parts complete to print.

Advantages of Aluminum Sand Casting Process

The sand casting process offers many distinct advantages when compared to alternative metal casting methods. When the versatility, unit costs, quality, availability and all other factors are considered, using sand molds for manufacturing aluminum castings is the clear choice.Aluminum parts cast in sand molds, and which will be machined, are highly competitive with gray iron, notwithstanding the higher cost per pound of material. The following represents some of the clear advantages of the aluminum sand casting process.

Widely Diversified Facilities

Aluminum Alloys is the largest foundry of its type on the East Coast with its own machine shop, providing in-house machining and finishing capability to furnish parts complete to print. By assuming full single source responsibility, Aluminum Alloys can relieve customer of problems with split vendor orders, which results in maintaining better control of the manufacturing process and often reduces overall lead time. Experience has shown this approach also saves customers from 7 to 12% in “hidden costs.”
