Melting
Reuland has invested in the future by installing a new, high-efficiency furnace line to meet demands for increased capacity while decreasing the carbon footprint. We accomplish this with three 900 lb gas fired crucible furnaces, one 2200 lb electric resistance crucible furnace and one 600 lb crucible furnace for special alloys.
ALLOYS
319 secondary: 319 is a self aging alloy which does not require heat treating. This alloy has excellent casting and machining capabilities and is considered a good choice for standard commercial casting applications.
356 secondary: 356 is a step above 319 in chemical and mechanical properties. It is recommended to heat treat (T6) to obtain optimum properties. In the heat treated condition, 356T6 machines beautifully and would be used in high strength applications.
A356 prime: A356 is a prime alloy, higher purity in chemistry and highest strength in mechanical properties. A356T6 alloy is used in more intricate aerospace, automotive and high velocity blower applications where higher mechanical properties and pressure tightness are required.
