Industrial Usages of Sand-Casting Services

At Lincoln Foundry, we cast the essential components that industries depend on. There are many types of applications for sand-casting services, from aerospace and defense applications to the equipment critical to infrastructure development. Our deep expertise in non-ferrous alloys ensures components have the right metallurgical properties for their specific job. The result is a part that works, built with the durability and precision each application demands.Our process includes cleaning castings with grinding and shot blasting to prepare them for the next step. We specialize in components from 0.01 to 100 pounds and up to three feet long. What we deliver is a precision raw-cast or rough-cast part: a dimensionally accurate, metallurgically sound component ready for your finishing.

Aerospace & Defense

Our facility produces high-integrity castings that meet the rigorous demands of aerospace and defense applications. Our aluminum alloys, including A356.2 and Almag35, deliver the exceptional strength-to-weight ratios essential for aircraft and military components. These specialized alloys meet the stringent ASTM B26 specification.

Marine & Naval

We produce nickel-aluminum bronze castings built for harsh marine environments. Our C95500 and C95800 alloys provide superior impact strength and resistance to saltwater corrosion. These bronzes are the right choice for marine hardware, naval fasteners, and shipboard components that must perform in seawater and high-stress conditions. They meet ASTM B584 standards for naval and marine applications.

Automotive

We supply sand castings for core automotive components, including engine blocks, cylinder heads, and transmission housings. Our aluminum alloys 319.1, 356.1, and A356.2 maintain dimensional stability and heat resistance in engine applications. They offer excellent machinability and can be heat-treated to T6 for higher strength and durability.

Electrical & Power Distribution

We produce copper and bronze castings for electrical applications requiring high conductivity and reliable performance. Our pure copper castings (99.99%, C11000 equivalent) are ideal for motor terminal lugs, transformer mounts, and copper studs used in power distribution systems. These components provide the conductivity and thermal performance required by power transmission systems.

Plumbing & Water Management

Lincoln Foundry casts lead-free bronze alloys that comply with NSF/ANSI 61 standards for potable water systems. Our C89833 lead-free bronze is specifically designed for plumbing fixtures, fittings, and components that contact drinking water. We also produce brass and bronze castings for valves, hardware, and plumbing applications that require long-lasting performance.

Industrial Machinery & Manufacturing

We manufacture a wide range of castings for industrial equipment, including gears, gear housings, valves, bearings, bushings, and wear plates. Our ZA-12 zinc-aluminum alloy offers superior wear resistance, low shrinkage, and excellent machinability for bearings, bushings, and hydraulic parts. Bronze alloys like C93200 and C93700 offer low friction and high wear resistance for bearing applications and moving components. These parts bring the precision, strength, and durability that industrial equipment requires.

Architectural & Construction

Lincoln Foundry produces aluminum and bronze castings for architectural fittings, railings, and awning hardware. Our aluminum castings provide the corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal required for exterior architectural applications. These components combine durability with the design flexibility needed for both functional and decorative architectural elements.

Medical

We cast high-grade stainless steel components for medical instruments and equipment. Our 304L and 316L stainless steel alloys meet ASTM A351 standards (CF8/CF8M equivalent) for biocompatibility and perform reliably through repeated sterilization cycles. These materials maintain their integrity across a range of temperatures and sterilization processes.

Food & Beverage Processing

Lincoln Foundry supplies stainless steel castings for food processing equipment that must stay sanitary and clean. Our 304 and 316 stainless steel alloys meet food-grade standards and withstand acidic foods, cleaning chemicals, and high-moisture environments. They deliver the durability pumps, valves, and processing equipment needed in food and beverage operations.

Chemical Processing

We manufacture castings for chemical handling systems and processing equipment. Our 316 and 316L alloys resist chlorides and aggressive chemicals, making them the right choice for pumps, valves, and pressure vessels in chemical processing systems built to ASME standards.
