Metal Machining Services
Metal Machining Service
Metal machining focuses on removing unwanted metal from metal casting projects. From turning to boring to drilling, Nbcastings’ fine metalworking capabilities meet our customers’ demanding requirements for a wide range of products.
Our metal machining capabilities cover not only standard sizes, but also unusual shapes and sizes such as balls, spherical configurations, and those that require special tooling or fixtures. Recycling machine scraps allows us to recycle material and provide competitive metalworking costs for our cast parts. If we are unable to meet a customer’s machining specifications, we rely on one of our trusted external metalworking partners. Our team works closely with each customer to ensure that the project runs smoothly from a cost-effectiveness and time management perspective while meeting exact standards.
Nbcastings’ machining is performed using Computer Numerical Control (CNC) technology. CNC machining uses a computer program to automatically control the movement of a machine during the metalworking process. CNC machining has countless benefits, including precision, speed, productivity, scalability, and a wide variety of materials that can be machined. Each Nbcastings facility uses its full range of Metal Casting, Heat Treating, Metal Fabrication, and Metal Testing and Metal Analysis capabilities to work with customers throughout the entire product process – from design to delivery.

Why Choose Nbcastings for Sand Casting?
Quality Standards
Our quality standards have ISO certification, which means our components meet high standards, allowing us to optimize your costs and reduce risks.
Short Lead Times
Although production of parts through investment casting tends to be lower volume and slower than other manufacturing methods, we understand that delays have a significant impact on your business. Therefore, we are committed to on-time delivery, and our lead times are among the fastest in the industry.
A Comprehensive Approach
The investment casting process is a start-to-finish process, starting with our design advice to ensure parts are produced to the correct standard. Throughout the project we ensure quality, consistency and streamlined supplier management.
How We Test Sand Castings
Our spectrometers detect 20 chemical elements, our metallographic microscopes produce high-resolution images with 1,000x magnification, and our cleanliness meters determine particle size and count to ensure materials meet or exceed international standards. Nbcastings uses ultrasonic detectors to find defects and has an X-ray machine and accelerator that can scan castings with a maximum wall thickness of 200mm.
Nbcastings has comprehensive in-house testing capabilities including:
Spectroscopic and manual quantitative analysis
Metallographic analysis
Dimensional testing
Coordinate measuring machine
Brinell, Rockwell and Vickers hardness testing
Mechanical property analysis
Low temperature and environmental impact testing
Cleanliness testing
UT, MT and RT testing
Static and dynamic balancing
