Our process begins by selecting from a variety of iron blends to meet each casting’s unique specification. Large furnaces melt the iron and stay at temperatures ranging from 2,600 to 2,800 degrees Fahrenheit. Computerized systems constantly monitor temperature.Electric induction melting is the most cost efficient type of melting process. In addition, it is very environmentally friendly, using only electricity.
