Plant Facilities
Production capabilities include R & D, job quantities, and production quantities with internal strengths for design, CAD, solidification software and a full service integrated pattern shop. Our plant site includes a 60,000 ft² foundry facility, 5,500 ft² engineering building and pattern shop, which sits on 6 acres.
Molding Department
Temperform has three types of molding processes used to accommodate the requirements of its customers.
No-Bake:The Phenolic Urethane “No-Bake” resin bonded sand molding technique is one process we use. This process incorporates production flexibility, minimal tooling costs, small to large run manufacturing quantities, and high quality finishes on castings produced.
Shell: Shell Molding is our second type of molding process used. This process utilizes a thermally activated resin bonded sand yielding castings with superior as-cast finishes, excellent dimensional stability, and provides capability for high production quantities. Temperform has a state of the art thermal sand reclamation system for efficient use of sand and minimum environmental impact due to waste.
Ceramic: Ceramic is our third type of molding process. This process utilizes a special blend of sands which are then subject to a specialized baking process which yields castings with dimensional stability and surface finishes similar to those obtained with the lost wax process.
Melting Department
Temperform has the technical expertise of casting over one hundred different high alloy stainless steels and superalloys, utilizing five induction furnaces on 2 different power supplies. Individual casting weights range from 2 pounds to 5,500 pounds. Our induction furnaces provide excellent temperature melt control, flexibility in melting, with accurate and repeatable chemistries for all alloys. “Teapot” ladles are used to pour metal into molds producing clean defect free castings, controlled pouring rates, and accurate temperature control. Chemistries are assured using internal spectrographic measurements with computerized charge and final additions calculations to the heat.
