At S&V Industries, we take pride in our ability to source a diverse range of specialized aluminum components tailored to meet the unique needs of various industries. We have access to a wide variety of aluminum alloys, each offering distinct properties to suit specific applications. Whether you require the high strength and toughness of 7075 aluminum, the excellent machinability and weldability of 6061 aluminum, or the superior corrosion resistance and formability of 5083 aluminum for your marine applications, we have the supply base to match the right alloy to your exact requirements. 

Aluminum Casting processes 

Our extensive network of world-class suppliers allows us to provide a diverse range of aluminum casting processes to meet your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for high pressure, low pressure, gravity, or investment casting processes, we have you covered. 

High Pressure Casting 

Our high-pressure casting partners utilize state-of-the-art equipment to produce complex, high-strength aluminum components with exceptional dimensional accuracy. This process is ideal for high-volume production runs where consistency and precision are critical. 

Low Pressure Casting 

For applications requiring excellent mechanical properties and a superior surface finish, our low-pressure casting solutions are the perfect fit. This method allows for the development of intricate designs with minimal porosity, making it suitable for critical applications in off highway, automotive and aerospace industries. 

Gravity Casting 

Our gravity casting partners specialize in creating robust and reliable parts through this cost-effective method. By pouring molten aluminum into molds using gravity, we achieve high-quality castings with excellent structural integrity. This process is particularly advantageous for producing larger, heavier components. 

Investment Casting 

When precision and detail are paramount, our investment casting capabilities deliver. This process, also known as lost-wax casting, allows for the creation of highly intricate and complex shapes with tight tolerances. It’s an ideal choice for components that require a superior finish and fine details. 

Aluminum Finishing Capabilities at S&V Industries 

Our finishing capabilities include anodizing, heat treating, and painting, each offering distinct advantages to enhance the performance and aesthetics of your products. 

Anodizing 

Our anodizing services deliver exceptional corrosion resistance and surface hardness, extending the lifespan of your aluminum parts. This electrochemical process not only enhances durability but also provides an attractive, uniform finish. Whether you require decorative finishes or functional coatings for improved wear resistance, our partners’ advanced anodizing techniques ensure optimal results. 

Heat Treating 

Heat treating is a critical process to enhance the mechanical properties of aluminum alloys. Our partners employ state-of-the-art heat-treating methods, including solution heat treatment, aging, and stress relieving, to achieve the desired strength and performance characteristics. This precision-controlled process ensures that your components maintain their structural integrity under demanding conditions. 

Painting 

For applications requiring both protective and aesthetic finishes, our painting services are second to none. Our partners utilize advanced painting technologies, including powder coating and liquid painting, to provide durable, high-quality finishes. These coatings offer superior resistance to environmental factors, ensuring your aluminum components remain both functional and visually appealing over time.
