Looking for a Foundry that poors C5 /C12 steel

Looking for a Foundry that poors C5 /C12 steel

Looking for a Foundry that poors C5 /C12 steel

(OP)
Does any one know of a foundry that poors radiograph quality castings in ASTM A-217, grades C12 and C5?  This is Chrome-moly steel and the castings I'm looking at are fairly big stuff, maybe 5000 - 10,000 Lbs.

RE: Looking for a Foundry that poors C5 /C12 steel

I work for the industry.  Two possible sources come to mind for castings this size, Atlas in Tacoma and Atchison in Atchison KS.  You may find others at SFSA.ORG.

RE: Looking for a Foundry that poors C5 /C12 steel

The weight is the biggest determinant in selection of the foundry - it is fairly high and will preclude many foundries.  I believe you would be best served with a foundry with AOD capabilities, both Atlas and Achison have them, as does MetalTek in Waukesha WI.  Other than that, in the USA things will be limited.
