Foundry

The present capacities of Olteanu-Ignatovici foundry is dimensioned for small and medium sized ranges of castings between 0,5 and 300 kg.

Elaborated cast materials:

  • nodular iron (EN GJS 420-12; GJS 400-15; GJS 400-18)
  • gray iron (EN GJL - 150, - 200, - 250, - 300)
  • high and low alloyed iron castings
  • cast steel (GE240)

With an annual casting capacity of 400 tons, our foundry has the following main facilities:

  • two induction medium frequency furnaces for cast iron elaboration (0,5 tons each - AAGES Romania).
  • molding process based on NO-BAKE technology (IMF-Italy) having
    • one continous mixer for moulding with maximum capacity of 6 tons/hour and conveyor carrier with 6 stations for mould boxes;
    • reclamation tower and silos for sand;
    • shakeout sistem with pneumatic transport of the sand to the reclamation tower;
    • transport lines for molding, mould assembly, pouring and cooling.
  • two shotblasting chamber machines addapted for our production.
  • two heat treatment furnaces (stess relieving, normalizing, ferritizing).
  • foundry's laboratory determine and register for each casted batch the following parameters:
    • chemical composition (spectrometer Quantron Magellan);
    • mechanical tests (elongation, tensile strength, hardness);
    • liquid iron temperature (melting, nodularization, pouring);
    • mettalographic structure analyses;
    • ultrasonic defctoscopy, penetrant inspection.

Each project is completed in terms of stability with a guaranteed and certified high quality.
