CASTINGS: Copper-tin alloys
Specialists in bronze castings for industrial and cryogenic valves
Valfond is specialized in casting of copper-tin alloys (non-ferrous alloys).
Only ingots from leading national and European suppliers are used, accompanied by Certificates of Analysis 3.1.
Meticulous tests are performed on the incoming materials during Acceptance Phase. Especially, for the ingots, the composition and parameters of the elements are checked, in accordance with the EN1982 standard. The various incoming alloys are catalogued, stored and managed through a recognition system with an identification tag.
The main alloys used in Valfond are:
CB491K – CB499K – CB493K – CB480K – CB492K – CB482K
We also supply certified castings for CRYOGENIC valves suitable for low temperatures applications (-197°C) and subjected to high pressures (PN 50).
Foundry INSTALLATIONS
A complete control of the process
from the preventive analysis of the castings with dedicated simulation software, to the certified casting process.
Production capacity
Three in-line ovens of 10 quintals each realise a daily production capacity of 15t. Production is diversified according to requirements and weights (100 g – 50 kg).
Shell Moulding and Green sand
We carry out castings with a shell-moulding plant equipped with 450 x 300 mm brackets and we offer also green sand castings.
