Railway Industry Castings
Investment castings for the rail industry
Rail transportation has evolved greatly in the past couple of centuries, from pre-steam rails and steam trains to electric and bullet trains. As the industry evolves, the need for sophisticated, high-integrity castings grows.
At Dean Group, we serve this sector by providing castings that are strong, durable, precise and complex, something we achieve with our investment casting process.
This process allows you to receive parts and components crafted in the right materials for your specific requirements. Whether you need ferrous or non-ferrous metals and alloys, we can provide them for you. For example, we can create castings made from:
This list is not extensive so, if you require a specific or exotic material for your project, speak to us and we’ll be happy to accommodate.
Investment casting doesn’t just manufacture components that are high-quality. It also provides you with products that are cost-efficient, that don’t require much assembly and which create minimal waste during the manufacturing process. You can also easily add details like your company name and logo to your castings.
