Grainger & Worrall’s engineering function specialises in the development, testing and enhancement of high-performance aluminium casting solutions tailored to each customer’s operational requirements.
Whether you’re optimising for ductility, strength, thermal stability or even sustainability, our materials team can provide support and consult on materials selection and optimisation.
Get components that perform reliably in your specified conditions, with the opportunity of casting integral products using either aluminium-silicon alloys or aluminium-copper alloys, from conventional grades like A356.2 up to motorsport/aerospace alloys such as 201.
We carefully select aluminium alloys to achieve product requirements, engaging early in the design phase to ensure a balance between material and functional design. We optimise processes for superior, reliable material properties. This is also closely linked to our simulation capability, ensuring alignment between simulation and actual.
Alongside industry-standard grades, we’ve developed proprietary alloys designed for demanding use cases, including elevated-temperature environments.
We offer both counter-gravity sand casting and low-pressure sand casting (specific alloy) and can develop novel solutions, giving you the flexibility to match the right process to your project’s performance, geometry and cost requirements.
With experience across most industrially recognised alloys, we ensure material compatibility no matter how complex or regulated your application.
