Do any of you guys know of a foundry that will pour cast iron for a few items. This is a prototype and if it works out the it would be 10-20 quantities. Largest part is about 140lbs. I’m not too familiar with making molds either but the part is pretty darn simple. It was going to be made as a weldment. I think lost foam mold would be the easiest I could make it out of bars just need to figure how to get the fillets in there. Might just machine foam with fillets in there.
I’m located near Atlanta Georgia I feel like shipping 140lbs of iron will not be very cost effective. Otherwise I would send a letter to cattail foundry.
So who in Georgia will pour a one off like this? Even if it’s a small operation or a club type deal I’m willing to learn. I just do not have the equipment or expertise to cast iron.
Also if you guys have any tips on the lost foam mold I’d appreciate it.
