Sand Casting Expertise
At MMP, one of our specialties in casting metal is found in the sand casting process. This solution involves creating a mold cavity in the shape of the desired part, with the mold itself made of sand that maintains a specific size or grain distribution. From here, a bonding process is used to create a final product that’s identical to the shape of the mold cavity – after which a number of finishing operations can be undertaken depending on the part needed.
MMP boasts an experienced staff with extensive knowledge of sand casting. We serve a huge range of industries here, from directional drilling and mining companies to defense, oil, energy, food processing and a number of other OEMs.
Metal Finishing Services
In addition to our numerous services in the casting metal realm, we also offer a number of high-quality metal finishing services to add value and efficiency to any part you’re creating. All of our finishing services come with a quality guarantee that our customers have come to rely on after years of successful partnerships. Read on to learn about our various metal finishing solutions, and contact us at your convenience for more information or to schedule service!
Machining Services
For various parts, machining is necessary to achieve specific dimensions, shapes or surface finishes. Our team of highly skilled machinists and advanced equipment can efficiently produce precision-machined parts to meet your exact specifications. We offer both traditional and CNC (computer numerical control) machining services, allowing us to handle projects of any size and complexity.
Industrial Painting Services
For many parts our clients come to us for, industrial painting services are a vital part of the finishing process. Whether you require a protective coating for your precision-machined metal parts or a high-quality finish for your products, our industrial painting services can meet your needs.
Our team of experienced painters ensure that every part is properly prepared, primed and painted to the highest standards. We use advanced techniques and top-of-the-line equipment to achieve consistent and durable finishes that meet industry standards and exceed our clients’ expectations.
Light Assembly Services
Many industries require their products to be assembled before they can be shipped or used. At our facility, we offer light assembly services to help streamline production and meet the specific needs of our clients.
Our team is trained in various assembly methods and can handle a wide range of tasks such as fitting, fastening, and packaging. We have experience working with diverse materials and components, ensuring that your products are assembled accurately and efficiently.
Blanchard Grinding Services
As the most effective method out there for finishing flat surfaces, Blanchard grinding services can be applied to almost any product material, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This process uses rotary surface grinders to remove stock from one side of a large metal part. The result is a flat, parallel surface with a specific finish.
Our team of experts at MMP is trained to provide high-quality Blanchard grinding services for a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, and construction. We have state-of-the-art equipment and utilize the latest technology to ensure precise and consistent results every time.
Special Metallurgical Testing Services
Many of our clients come to us with projects that require specialized metallurgical testing to ensure the quality and integrity of their materials. At MMP, we offer a wide range of metallurgical testing services to meet the unique needs of our clients. In fact, many of our basic casting metal and metal finishing services come with requirements for specialized metallurgical testing, including chemical analyses, microstructure examination, and mechanical properties testing.
Metal Heat Treatment Services
At Midwest Metal Products, our on-staff metallurgist can advise you on our wide variety of metal heat treatment services and which might be best suited for your specific needs. Heat treatment can provide a variety of benefits to your metal parts, including increased strength and durability, improved hardness and wear resistance, and enhanced electrical conductivity. Our heat treatment processes include:
- Case hardening and through hardening: These methods involve treating the surface of the metal with heat and chemicals to create a harder external layer while maintaining a softer, more ductile core.
- Annealing: This process involves heating the metal to a specific temperature and then gradually cooling it to improve its machinability and reduce internal stresses.
- Tempering: After hardening, tempering is often used to increase the toughness and strength of the metal by reheating it to a lower temperature.
- Normalizing: Similar to annealing, normalizing involves heating the metal above its critical temperature before cooling it in air. This process can improve mechanical properties such as hardness, strength, and ductility.
- Blue coating: A blue coating can be applied to steel surfaces after heat treatment to provide corrosion resistance and increase surface hardness. This is achieved by heating the steel in a controlled atmosphere of carbon monoxide, which reacts with the iron on the surface to form carbides.
- Quenching: After the metal is heated and held at a certain temperature for a specific amount of time, it must be rapidly cooled or quenched to achieve the desired material properties. This process involves immersing the heated metal in a liquid such as water, oil, or air.
Casting Metal Design and Engineering
Our team at Midwest Metal Products is also experienced in casting metal design and engineering. We can work with you to develop custom castings that meet your specific requirements and specifications, whether it’s a complex shape or a particular material.
