BURY, U.K. - eTradeWire -- The Wallwork Cast Alloys foundry was set-up in 1986 to supply parent company Wallwork Group with heat resistant furnace jigs, fixtures and spares to meet their aerospace quality needs for heat treatment furnaces.

The foundry team are also keen to show how they apply this expertise to castings for other companies in wind turbines, offshore, chemical, aerospace, glass melting, decorative castings, plaques, and metal printing build plates.

Across four sites in Manchester, Newcastle, Birmingham and Cambridge, Wallwork Group operates many furnace types and sizes including sealed quench and vacuum furnaces. Meeting this constant need for bespoke jigs and furnace furniture  means the foundry team has amassed a wealth of experience that they bring to customers. The team understands the properties that are essential to make reliable high quality heat resistant castings.

There are three predominant groups of alloys used in heat treating or high-temperature applications. These are chromium and iron based; chromium, nickel, and iron based; and nickel, chromium, and iron alloys.
