Whether they’re used for hauling freight or carrying passengers, commercial vehicles have to be built tough to withstand the rigors of the road. Cargo trucks, buses, and tractors are relied upon across multiple industries to perform a lot of heavy-duty work, and that means they must be manufactured using the most durable techniques and materials. For instance, cast iron components often form the backbone of these vehicles, which is why manufacturers throughout the industry rely on Hiller Industries. Our proven shell mold casting technique ensures iron castings that exceed expectations in terms of precision and strength.
Commercial Vehicle Iron Castings
Why Shell Mold Casting is Preferred for Commercial Vehicle Castings
Our customer base includes major commercial vehicle manufacturers who need to know they’re receiving components that are of the highest quality. Not only should these be made to stand up to heavy use, but they also have to meet strict tolerances to ensure high levels of performance. The reason so many of them come to us is because of our shell mold casting technique.
This process uses resin-coated sand to create molds that serve as the basis for the finished product. The resin holds the extremely fine grains of sand together and bonds them into the shell. This means the walls of the mold are much thinner than green sand molds, and they’re also capable of creating much finer details. It’s the perfect method for casting parts that have complex geometries or precise surface specifications. It gives us the flexibility to take on virtually any type of project and meet even the most stringent requirements our clients ask of us.
Another key advantage of shell mold casting is how it results in a lower overall weight for the casting and reduces the need for additional tooling. This saves manufacturers time and money for each part.
