Malton Best stands as a beacon of expertise in the domain of aluminum sand casting, serving both the Canadian market and international clientele. Our specialization lies in the production of sand castings for non-ferrous metals, primarily aluminum. We prioritize customer engagement, ensuring we understand their specific requirements and procuring the necessary materials for the casting process. At Malton Best, we pride ourselves on utilizing the latest techniques to craft aluminum sand molds using green sand, ensuring we cater to your diverse aluminum requirements.
Our on-site furnaces, specifically engineered for aluminum sand casting, guarantee even heat distribution across the castings, resulting in products that showcase exceptional resistance to corrosion, heat, abrasion, and wear. Our casting prowess allows us to manufacture components weighing as much as 1500 pounds. Furthermore, to enhance tensile strength, these aluminum parts undergo heat treatment. Our crafted parts are predominantly employed in engines, motors, pumps, and valves.
Aluminum is celebrated for its impressive strength-to-weight ratio, approximately a third of that of cast iron, steel, brass, and zinc. The inherent advantages of aluminum castings include superior corrosion resistance, streamlined production processes, and the potential for various finishes like anodizing, burnishing, electroplating, and powder coating. Given its lighter weight compared to steel, aluminum offers the potential to craft components with both strength and finesse in their wall thickness. We firmly believe that sand mold casting presents the most efficient and cost-effective method for metal shaping. The versatility of aluminum casting remains instrumental in its myriad applications.
Ever since the advent of the Bayer and Hall-Héroult techniques for aluminum processing and purification, this metal has become an integral part of the creation and fabrication of a wide array of commercial and industrial aluminum products. The introduction of these efficient and pragmatic production methods empowered engineers and designers to seamlessly integrate aluminum into their designs.
Aluminum is renowned for its diverse attributes, positioning it as a reliable and robust metal with an extensive lifespan. Its malleability allows it to be molded into virtually any form, catering to a range of applications from household appliances like ovens to advanced aerospace components. Furthermore, aluminum’s versatility is accentuated when alloyed with over 270 different minerals, enhancing its inherent properties.
The best thing about working at Malton Best is that you get to work with such enthusiastic people who are ready to solve problems. I appreciate working with people from all over the world and from all cultures who are dedicated to and enjoy their profession.
