Bronze casting
Bronze casting, bronze casting foundry india

Our state-of-the-art bronze casting foundry in India specializes in precision non-ferrous metal casting, delivering superior quality bronze components through advanced metallurgical processes and multiple casting methodologies. We manufacture high-performance bronze castings for diverse industrial applications, combining traditional craftsmanship with cutting-edge foundry technology.


Comprehensive Bronze Casting Methods & Processes

Sand Casting (Green Sand & Resin Bonded Systems)

Green Sand Casting Process: Our foundry utilizes advanced green sand molding technology with sodium bentonite and western bentonite clay binders, achieving dimensional tolerances of ±0.5mm for medium to large bronze castings. We employ Disa-matic automatic molding lines and manual floor molding for intricate bronze sculptures, valves, pump housings, and marine propellers weighing from 0.5 kg to 5000 kg.

Resin Sand Casting (Furan & Phenolic Systems): We implement cold-box, warm-box, and hot-box resin sand processes using furan no-bake systems and phenolic urethane cold-box technology. Our resin-bonded sand molds deliver superior surface finish (Ra 6.3-12.5 μm) and tighter dimensional accuracy (±0.3mm) for precision bronze bushings, bearing housings, and hydraulic components.

Precision Molding Technology: Shell molding process with thermosetting resin-coated sand produces thin-walled bronze castings with excellent surface integrity and minimal machining allowances.

Investment Casting (Lost Wax Process / Precision Casting)

Ceramic Shell Investment Casting: Our investment casting facility executes the lost-wax process using both solid investment and ceramic shell techniques. We produce intricate bronze components with dimensional tolerances of ±0.1mm and surface finishes up to Ra 3.2 μm. The process involves:

  • Wax pattern injection using precision tooling
  • Pattern assembly on wax runner systems (tree configuration)
  • Multi-layer ceramic slurry application (zircon, alumino-silicate, fused silica)
  • Autoclave dewaxing at controlled temperatures
  • High-temperature shell firing (900-1000°C)
  • Vacuum-assisted pouring or gravity pouring
  • Shell knockout and finishing operations

Ideal for complex bronze geometries including impellers, valve bodies, ornamental castings, artistic sculptures, and precision instrumentation components.

Centrifugal Casting (True & Semi-Centrifugal)

True Centrifugal Casting: Horizontal and vertical centrifugal casting machines produce cylindrical bronze components with superior metallurgical properties. Centrifugal forces (60-120G) ensure:

  • Dense, porosity-free castings with directional solidification
  • Segregation of lighter impurities toward inner diameter
  • Superior mechanical properties in bronze bushings, sleeves, and bearing surfaces
  • Grain refinement through controlled solidification

Applications: Phosphor bronze bushings, aluminum bronze bearings, gunmetal valve seats, pressure-tight cylinder liners, and wear-resistant components.

Semi-Centrifugal & Centrifuged Casting: Production of symmetrical bronze components like gears, flanges, and valve bodies with improved feed metal distribution.

Continuous Casting (Horizontal & Vertical Systems)

Our continuous casting installation produces bronze bars, rods, tubes, and hollow sections with:

  • Consistent microstructure and mechanical properties
  • Minimal segregation through controlled solidification rates
  • Reduced material waste and superior yield
  • Diameters: 20mm to 350mm in various bronze alloys

Process Parameters: Electromagnetic stirring, water-cooled crystallizer, controlled withdrawal speeds (50-200 mm/min), and inert gas shielding for oxidation prevention.

Permanent Mold Casting (Gravity Die Casting)

Metallic Mold Casting: Precision-machined cast iron and steel molds produce repetitive bronze castings with:

  • Enhanced mechanical properties through rapid solidification
  • Reduced porosity and refined grain structure
  • Superior surface finish (Ra 6.3 μm or better)
  • Tighter tolerances (±0.2mm achievable)

Ideal for medium to high-volume production of bronze valve components, pump parts, and electrical hardware.

Low-Pressure Die Casting & Vacuum Casting

Low-Pressure Permanent Mold Casting: Controlled pressurization (0.3-1.0 bar) ensures:

  • Gradual mold filling with minimal turbulence
  • Reduced gas entrapment and oxide inclusions
  • Superior mechanical properties in critical bronze components
  • Pressure-tight castings for hydraulic and pneumatic applications

Vacuum-Assisted Investment Casting: Sub-atmospheric pressure casting (50-200 mbar) eliminates gas porosity in thin-walled bronze components.

Plaster Mold Casting & Ceramic Mold Casting

Plaster Investment Casting: Gypsum-bonded molds deliver exceptional surface reproduction for:

  • Artistic bronze sculptures and statuary
  • Decorative architectural hardware
  • Prototype development with fine detail resolution
  • Surface finish up to Ra 1.6 μm

Ceramic Mold Casting (Shaw Process): High-temperature ceramic molds withstand bronze pouring temperatures while producing intricate geometries.

Pressure Die Casting (High-Pressure Die Casting)

While traditionally limited for bronze due to high melting points, our specialized HPDC systems cast lower-melting bronze alloys (aluminum bronze, silicon bronze) for:

  • High-volume production (1000+ pieces)
  • Complex thin-walled sections (1.5mm minimum)
  • Excellent dimensional consistency
  • Automotive and electrical components

Squeeze Casting & Rheocasting

Liquid Metal Forging: Squeeze casting combines casting and forging principles, applying high pressure (70-150 MPa) during solidification to produce dense, high-strength bronze components with:

  • Near-wrought mechanical properties
  • Minimal porosity (<0.5% by volume)
  • Superior fatigue resistance
