Spuncast, Incorporated

At Spuncast, quality control in centrifugal casting starts long before the casting process and continues until the final product is produced. At Spuncast, it begins with the raw materials undergoing stringent metal inspection upon arrival. Each batch of scrap metal is tested for chemical composition and mechanical properties, including tensile strength, hardness, and ductility. From there, we run internal tests at every stage of the production process, maintaining tighter controls over material properties and optimizing performance to meet our customers’ specific application demands. This ensures that the materials we use meet rigorous standards for reliability and performance. Learn more about the stages of our inspection process in the blog! https://ow.ly/QQAW50TZwLN

When mining equipment breaks down, the impact can be substantial.
