In order to meet the most specific design requirements of high technology sectors, not only in terms of performance but also of security, LBI understood at an early stage that it was necessary to reach the “maximum” level of quality.
Main features
Each stage of the production, from incoming raw materials to the finished product, is carried out under the most extensive and strict controls: dimensional and quality controls, chemical and metallurgical controls and mechanical characteristics controls.
The Quality Department inspects all parts during production and on completion, for compliance with the relevant technical specifications and sees thats all internal inspection procedures are applied through periodic internal audits. It reports to the General Management, giving details of any discrepancies, and defines the potential corrections to be implemented with all the personnel involved.
The centrifugal casting process (or spun casting) is mainly suitable for cylindrical or hollow pieces (rings, tubes etc…). Conical shapes, several different diameters or flange(s) can be obtained on the “as cast” outer profile. As we do not use cores, the inside diameter is cylindrical and is achieved by the quantity of liquid metal poured into the tooling.
Our extensive range of toolings (more than 1500 dies) enables us to reach the ideal cast sizes and shapes, consequently to propose the most economical solutions.
