The success of today’s manufacturing businesses relies heavily on the availability and quality of industrial components.
Many of them partner with companies like Bunty that specialize in hydraulic casting services to format and build manufacturing parts for them.
When you assume the responsibility of securing industrialized components for a factory, manufacturing plant, or other industrialized business, you should understand the importance of hydraulic casting.
You can appreciate which benefits this service offers, what processes are involved in it, and why you should partner with Bunty for your hydraulic casting service needs.
Hydraulic casting involves the repair or production of hydraulic components.
It utilizes a variety of casting methods, such as custom casting, or the creation of hydraulic parts based on a client’s specific requirements.
Aside from that, it can involve prototyping—another casting method that gives a preview of a component’s final appearance and function.
Numerous industries use hydraulic casting to acquire needed components, including:
Businesses expect hydraulic casting service providers to deliver high-quality components that are safe and effective to use.
They also expect the parts they order from a hydraulic casting business to provide them with months, if not years, of service and be worth the money invested in them.
Ensuring you get high-quality hydraulic casting products that are worth your investment requires partnering up with a provider such as Bunty, that has extensive hydraulic capabilities.
So, let’s explore what we have to offer.
Bunty is experienced in using a variety of metals and alloys in its hydraulic casting services.
These materials include magnesium alloys, stainless steel, as well as aluminum and nickel alloys.
Magnesium alloys offer strength and are low in density. They remain plentiful and easy to harvest, making them readily available to hydraulic casting businesses.
They also optimize fuel efficiency and lower transportation costs for businesses in the automotive and transportation industries.
Stainless steel creates hydraulic products that are easy to maintain, offer high visual appeal, and are hygienic, as well as heat and stain-resistant.
Aluminum alloys come in three forms: pure, heat-treatable, and non-heat-treatable.
Like magnesium alloys, they come at a relatively low cost to hydraulic casting businesses, and offer a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Lastly, nickel alloys include nickel-copper and nickel-chromium.
They feature qualities like temperature resistance and electrical conductivity, as well as magnetic qualities.
Surface treatments in hydraulic casting serve to improve the strength and durability of cast parts.
These treatments include plating, anodizing, coating, and heat treating.
Plating involves coating the surface of a cast component with a thin layer of a metal like zinc or copper.
The goal of this treatment is to increase corrosion resistance, make the part resistant to wear, and improve the part’s overall appearance.
Anodizing creates a protective oxide layer on aluminum castings, making the components resistant to corrosion.
Coating can include chemical, phosphate, and ceramic casting.
Phosphate coating removes metals like iron on the surfaces of casts.
As a surface treatment, coating also involves applying coats of titanium, tungsten, or phosphate to improve paint adhesion and enhance a component’s visual appeal.
Lastly, heat treating raises and holds the temperature of a component to a pre-determined level, maintaining the temperature while metallurgical changes occur.
The component is then slowly cooled, creating a fine-grained surface structure and preventing the risk of structural changes.
Aside from expertise in using various materials and performing surface treatments, Bunty can also create custom parts based on your specifications.
Some of the metal fabrication processes you can choose from include:
You can also request processes like welding, custom bolting, and tooling.
On top of that, Bunty offers prototyping, which speeds up a part’s design, helps bridge the gap between the design and manufacturing processes, and mitigates any risks associated with moving ahead with the component’s manufacturing processes.
Visual prototyping showcases a part’s shape and function, while presentation prototyping verifies a part’s viability before production starts on it.
Bunty also lets you choose between in-house and outsourced prototyping.
The in-house option is ideal for components that are less costly or feature complex designs.
Outsourced prototyping, on the other hand, applies 3D printing techniques and creates a prototype within hours rather than days or weeks.
Overall, Bunty can tailor casting to your specific needs.
It also offers reverse engineering services through dimensional inspections, which is another process used to create custom parts and products.
Bunty employs several methods of quality assurance when providing hydraulic casting services for customers.
For example, customers can rely on Bunty to review and update a part’s design and manufacturing processes.
This can include modifying or upgrading components that no longer serve their intended purpose.
During this process, Bunty analyzes, measures, and creates a 3D model using CAD/CAM software, as well as laser and handheld scanners.
Additionally, you can utilize Bunty’s built-to-print services, which are more sophisticated and allow you to remain in charge of your intellectual property.
Bunty also has AS9100D, which is an international quality management certification required to work with NASA, the U.S. Department of Defense, and commercial airlines.
It also holds the ISO 9001:2015 certification, a global standard of quality management systems.
This certificate outlines the criteria for crafting, implementing, and improving the procedures, activities, and processes for product consistency and service quality.
Lastly, Bunty has a CVMSDC certification, which fosters a relationship between the public and private sectors and certified minority-owned businesses.
