Weldment To Casting Conversion

'Reduced component count and assembly build time'

Trigg Bros Pty Ltd wide experience in casting design and manufacture can be readily applied to converting existing weldments into castings.

Conversion advantages include :
  • reduced component count and assembly build time
  • variable section thickness as / where needed according to stress assignment
  • low distortion due to single piece construction
  • ready integration of bosses wherever attachment points are needed
  • the ability to form complex sections and voids
The example (opposite) practically illustrates the improvements which can be achieved in the conversion of weldments into castings :
  • component count - minimised (from 22 to only 5 parts)
  • welds - eliminated (from 19 to 0)
  • machining operations - reduced (from 8 to just 4)
  • build time - reduced
  • overall costs - reduced
  • reliability - improved
