Near-Net Shape Castings

Our unique process utilizing elemental metals rather than sand allow for design flexibility and near-net shape castings. With over 3,000 successful conversions to date, PIAD has become the industry's most trusted copper-based permanent mold manufacturer.

Cost Savings

By significantly reducing the amount of time, material and labor allocated to the start to finish manufacturing process, PIAD's customers have been experiencing notable cost savings for decades.

Are You a Good Fit for Casting Conversion?

Below are examples of some of our most successful casting conversion candidates to date.

Copper brazing assemblies
Multi-piece steel weldments
Forgings needing additional machining
Sand castings necessitating further machining
Copper extrusions requiring additional machining
Parts machined from solid bar stock
Assemblies composed of multiple stampings

Notably, when converting from steel weldments or steel forgings, PIAD substitutes the material with its high-strength nickel-aluminum bronze alloys. These alloys are carefully selected to match or even surpass the tensile and yield strengths of medium-alloyed steel, offering enhanced performance characteristics.

This strategic approach underscores PIAD’s commitment to delivering tailored solutions that enhance component performance, streamline manufacturing processes, and optimize overall costs for their clientele across diverse industrial applications.

Most importantly, PIAD aims to take multi-step manufacturing procedures, and eliminate steps and/or significant time from that process.
