Utilizing Several Types of Molding and Casting Production
At Morel Industries, Inc., we use several types of molding processes to manufacture our quality castings. The casting process is fundamentally a process in which we produce a replica pattern of the finished article. Patterns are usually made of wood and plastic and are used to provide intricately shaped detail. The finished patterns are then used to make molds which are filled with molten metal to make the finished casting.
Factors such as casting size, shape, complexity, quantity, surface finish, and dimensional accuracy must all be taken into account when selecting the most cost-effective process for the job. Certain processes may cost a little more, but the greater precision may result in less finishing or machining operations at the back end which will reduce the cost, making it more cost-effective to the customer.
We will always find the most suitable and cost-effective method to produce your castings, whether it be for individual light castings or multiple heavy castings.
Semi-Permanent Mold
Semi-permanent mold is a casting process which produces aluminum alloy castings using reusable metal molds and sand cores to form internal passages within the casting. Molds are typically arranged in two halves with the sand cores being put into place before the two halves are placed together.
NO-BAKE SAND MOLD
The most widely used form of molding is sand molding because of sand's ability to form and hold detail, and because the sand can be reclaimed and reused over and over. The no-bake sand casting method is one of the most efficient and advanced sand casting techniques currently available.
The process consists of sand molds created using a wood or a plastic pattern. Sand is mixed with a urethane binder and deposited into a box containing the pattern (and all necessary formers and inserts) for pouring. The sand mixture sets in a short time, and the mold is then removed from the pattern. Cores for forming internal passages in the castings are made using the same process.
The no-bake casting technique creates molds with excellent dimensional stability. The casting surface finish is also improved over other sand casting processes.
At Morel Industries, Inc., we use no-bake molding for high precision castings in brass/bronze, aluminum, and iron alloys.

Castings Impregnating & Machining
Our porosity sealing service allows foundries and die casting companies to ensure that their castings can be subjected to high-pressure use within their applications.
The majority of today's castings are suitable for regular machinery use. Most however, need to be finished machined and coated. We can provide most all casting finished complete.
Such castings can be found in today's high-efficiency diesel and gas-powered engines, generators, transmissions, valves, and other such components. These castings operate in high-pressure situations that produce huge pressure surges at start-up before returning to normal operating pressures.
Impregnating your castings is the answer and is cost effective and affordable.
Casting impregnation is a process that seals the porosity and permeability defects in the castings, causing them to resist high pressure liquids and gases during their normal course of operation.
Using a specially selected impregnating sealant, the castings are subjected to a vacuum pressure treatment which forces the sealant into the castings and eventually fills the porous voids to produce impregnated castings suitable for high-pressure liquid and gas use.
