| Our engineering
design service makes the customer's job easier... and less costly |
As in all manufacturing
processes, permanent-mold casting has certain requirements for best
results. PIAD offers an engineering design service to help
customers achieve better results. This service provides the benefit
of more than 50 years accumulated application experience.
The engineering design service can
help you determine the best casting design for your application. For
example, PIAD designers can take your present multipart component
and make it as a single casting, saving you the expense of assembly
operations... yet the casting typically weighs less and performs better than
the part it replaces.

Our engineering and
design service can improve your product through re-design for
permanent-mold casting in a wide variety of ways, including such
techniques as cast-in "foreign" parts (pins, springs,
sleeves and helicoils). The Applications
Page on this website illustrates a few of the many possibilities.
We encourage customers to take
advantage of our engineering and design service. This service
enables them to utilize fully the opportunities inherent in the PIAD
permanent mold, chill-casting
process.
Complex and intricate parts can be
cast as one piece to replace multipart fabricated components. When
necessary, consumable cores such as the one shown below are used.
