Harrop Casting Technologies specialise in non-ferrous
castings, where all aluminium products are in-house heat-treated and shot-peened.
Harrop CT can also produce brass, copper and magnesium products for a variety
of applications.
Local Fabrication Services
Harrop Casting Technologies is based in Adelaide, which
means you reap all the added benefits of working with a local Australian business.
Import costs, customs clearance, shipping delays and difficulties communicating
with overseas suppliers are avoided. Additionally, for repeat supply using
existing tooling and moulds, Harrop CT can produce your parts with significantly
faster lead times (as little as a week) which makes a huge difference when
parts are needed urgently.

While Harrop CT specialises in aluminium castings, its
abilities also extend to brass, copper and magnesium products. The company is quality
accredited to ISO9001:2015, which covers all aspects of operation,

Casting Methods
Some typical casting methods Harrop CT utilises are Gravity
Die Casting, Sand Casting, Core Blowing and Shell Cores.
Gravity Die Casting uses permanent steel moulds with
gravity filling for larger volume production runs. It is optimal for complex
castings.
Sand Casting is better applied to lower volume production
where die tooling costs cannot be justified. Sand moulds are created and bonded
together using composites. Upon assembly the moulds are gravity filled and the
sand is broken out after solidification.
Both Core Blowing and Shell Cores include
resin covered sand to create a mould and is an expendable mould casting. In
comparison to Sand Casting, it boasts better dimensional accuracy and higher
productivity rates.
