Castings (bronze or brass)

Permanent mold casting: faucet bracket body

Our capability for creating a thicker chill layer on a casting product allows the body to be made thinner by cutting or other means, while maintaining pressure-proof performance or other properties in subsequent processes, which results in a lightweight product.
Only core sand is used, which reduces waste sand to be discharged.

Our work involving cutting, surface treatment with buffing or plating, and assembly with other parts rather than supplying casting material allows us to supply products of quality, minimizing our clients’ loss.

Product features

  • The difference in thickness is relatively large in the as-cast state (thickness of 3.5 mm to 20 mm).
  • All outer circles maintain their pressure-proof performance after cutting work, which solves the problem of defects, such as pores or pinholes generated in producing castings.
