| | Bimac has produced quality castings for commercial and aerospace applications since 1959. An original licensee of the Shaw Process, Bimac later expanded to making precision investment castings. Our staff of professional engineers and customer service personnel is committed to excellence, assuring our customers of only the finest quality castings.
Cast Metals
Bimac produces precision castings, weighing from just ounces to over 300 pounds, in over 100 metals. Our production capabilities include carbon, alloy, tool steel and stainless steels; some brass and bronze alloys; and high nickel alloys such as Inconel, Hastelloy and others. We also produce many special proprietary alloys manufactured to our customers' specifications.
Quality Assurance
Because we routinely produce castings to rigid military specifications, Bimac maintains a quality control policy in accordance with MIL-I-45208A requirements. Our castings meet military, federal. ASTM and AMS specifications: and, we are certified by most major aerospace, aircraft and commercial industries in the United States.
Bimac's state of-the-art, non-destructive testing laboratory helps us provide strict quality control using radiography, penetrant and magnetic particle inspection. From the first inspection of pattern and tooling equipment, through in-process quality checks and non-destructive testing, to the finished casting, we meet or exceed customer specifications.
Cast Tolerances
Typical cast tolerances of ± .005 inch-per-inch apply. Closer tolerances can be obtained in some cases, depending on casting design, tooling, casting size, type of alloy and heat treatment. Additional literature on dimensions, tolerances and
surface finishes is available upon request.
