Sand Control

Green sand properties are continually monitored using a PLC driven Hartley Sand Control system. A closed loop process, the Hartley Sand Control System is designed to function as a “thinking” piece of equipment. Each batch's test data is analyzed for conformation to our process specifications.

Metallurgical Lab

Smith Foundry’s metallurgical lab utilizes sophisticated equipment to verify the chemistry and microstructure of all of your castings. The recently purchased 29 channel Spectro-Maxx spectrometer uses state of the art technology to quickly analyze and assure the metal used to produce your castings always meets required specifications. In-house process controls include temperature monitoring, hardness verification, chemical spectro analysis and nodularity checks (ductile iron only). Test bars are systematically pulled to ensure conformance to ASTM mechanical performance standards. We will provide full chemical and material certification to ASTM A48, A536
and A897 standards at your request.
