Well-equipped support facilities have given a fillip to the core competence of the Foundry & Forge Division.
Complementing the Division's comprehensive infrastructure is its manpower of skilled and experienced workmen and qualified engineers. The Division spares no effort to impart professional and technical training to constantly update their skills and capabilities.
Product Engineering
This full-fledged and well-equipped Engineering Department, with its highly qualified and experienced professionals, acts as a functional interface between our customer and manufacturing departments, rendering technical support. The department is also responsible for process optimization and troubleshooting to ensure total and consistent conformance of quality of products to customer specifications.
Tooling
The combination of men and machine - the technology of CAD/CAM adapted and applied by the well-trained hands of experienced personnel - naturally results in precise dimensional accuracy for dies & patterns.
Heat Treatment
The Division is NADCAP accredited for Heat Treatment. The two Heat Treatment sections, one each in the Foundry and Forge shops are equipped with electrically heated furnaces (up to 2.2 meters diameter) with advanced temperature controllers and recorders for a range of heat treatments from solutionising and ageing to hardening and tempering, besides annealing and normalizing. Among the other facilities is the 1 m diameter by 1 m depth Vaccum heat treat furnace with gas quenching facility.
