Lincoln Foundry sand-casting services produce durable bronze, brass, steel, and aluminum components. We handle the tough, complex jobs others turn away!
Lincoln Foundry is a multi-generational family-owned metal casting facility in Erie, PA, where skilled hands pour copper, bronze, and aluminum to build the backbone of American industry. We handle the hard jobs others sand-casting companies turn away from by combining traditional craftsmanship with metallurgical expertise to deliver castings that meet exacting standards. While specializing in raw or rough-cast parts, our facility offerings include finishing and limited part assembly to streamline production efficiency for our customers. Contact us today to work with a foundry where grit, skill, and quality aren't just promises; they're how we’ve operated for the past 50 years.
Lincoln Foundry specializes in a wide range of sand-casting services, including bronze, brass, 304 and 316 stainless steel, and aluminum. Rigorous quality control and in-house metallurgical testing back every job to ensure each part meets customer specifications. We also offer shot blasting, grinding, and additional finishing services. Our wide alloy selection makes us a single, reliable source for durable castings built to take the heat, the load, and the years our customers expect.
Bronze is a rugged and versatile alloy, prized for its combination of strength, wear resistance, and natural ability to fight corrosion. Our expertise covers a full range of bronze alloys, from high-tensile manganese compositions to lead-free formulations certified to NSF/ANSI 61 for potable water applications. This tremendous versatility makes bronze the proven choice for parts destined for high-wear applications and harsh environments.
Brass is the ideal material for components that require both natural rust resistance and a high-quality aesthetic finish. Lincoln Foundry produces a range of alloys, including versatile red brass and specialized lead-free formulations. The result is a solid brass component built to exacting specifications and durable enough to withstand years of use in challenging operating conditions.
Lincoln Foundry casts stainless steel components for the most demanding operational environments. This capability sets us apart from most sand-casting companies. We work with both 304 and 316 grades, which maintain their integrity under harsh chemical exposure and in sanitary applications. This material is ideal for parts requiring extreme durability and superior corrosion resistance.
We specialize in casting a wide variety of aluminum alloys for applications where an excellent strength-to-weight ratio is the primary design goal. Our expertise includes heat-treating aluminum alloys, such as 319 and 356, to T6 condition to achieve a significantly higher strength. This process is ideal for creating complex, lightweight components without sacrificing structural integrity.
Sand-casting services transform molten metal into durable parts by pouring it into molds shaped around a pattern of the desired part. The process begins as foundry workers pack specialized sand around a pattern to form a mold, then remove the pattern and pour molten metal into the resulting cavity. Once the metal solidifies and cools, the mold is broken away to reveal the finished casting. This manufacturing method excels at producing complex metal parts that would be difficult or cost-prohibitive to machine from solid stock. Sand-casting services from Lincoln Foundry accommodate a wide range of alloys, including bronze, brass, stainless steel, and aluminum. We produce components with final weights ranging from .01 to 100 lbs. The flexibility of the process allows us to deliver both small-run prototypes and full-scale production runs. Structural integrity and material properties remain consistent from the first casting to the last, meeting the demands of industrial applications.
