Welcome to Intercastuk Ltd

Intercast UK have been supplying carbon stainless steel castings and forgings since 2001. With over 35 years from within the Sheffield foundry and metal forming industries it uses a proven overseas supply route that is simple, repeatable and dependable. We offer an extremely competitive solution for one off and continuous supply projects. During our life we have developed into a one stop supplier offering customers finished goods including final assembly, paint and packing.

Served industries include petrochemical, architectural, motor, bespoke light and heavy engineering, railway and marine.

Testing can include material composition, mechanical at room and sub zero. Corrosion resistance and fatigue testing compliment non destructive testing to International accreditation. Dimensional verification uses standard metrology equipment and can be supported by utilising bespoke gauges designed and built for specific product. Dynamic and static balancing is available for a few grams and to 20 tonnes for larger machined flywheels.

We readily offer help and advice during process selection. Where an unknown presents itself we help our customer’s research, trial and test. Rapid prototyping is available usually used before costly commitments are made to complicated and expensive tooling.

Services We Offer

Casting

Processes include sand casting, carbon stainless steel castings, lost wax casting, lost foam casting, pressure die casting, gravity die casting and vacuum casting in steel, aluminium, zinc and non ferrous alloys. The casting process is firstly selected to meet the casting designs’ final function and then best fitted to achieve least cost. Chemical composition is controlled utilising fast analytical measurement to verify compliance.

Mechanical properties are achieved through heat treatment utilising control of time, temperature and cooling rates. Environmental controlled heat treatment furnaces include annealing, hardening, tempering and carburising, with the addition of vacuum heat treatment for super alloys.

Forging & Stamping

Able to cast billet to specification gives an added advantage to the designer particularly for smaller batches or unusual compositions offering open and closed die forging processes. Stamping of plate section to 6mm.

Extruding

Utilising our partners we are able to supply aluminium extrusion and in T conditions and shipping lengths to 4 metres. A speciality is to bend polished, stainless steel sheet over aluminium extrusions producing architectural hand rail balustrade features. Cut lengths are accurate to +/-0.5mm.

Machining

We offer CNC or conventional hand controlled utilising fixtures for turning, milling, boring and precision grinding with a capability of achieving tolerances to a few microns and capacities up to 3 meters diameter.

Coatings

Galvanising lengths to 4 metres utilising hot dipping to 80 to 180 micron thicknesses typical. More ornate shapes are spun galvanised to 40 microns and for even shapes sheradising is used to apply a very smooth and accurate surface finish.

Additionally we can supply aluminium anodising, corrosion preventative marine paint systems, stove enamelling, powder coating and plastic polymer systems to RAL designated colour descriptions.

Please contact us at your earliest convenience, be it for informal help and advice to a detailed quotation in advance of a cost reduction in supply or development of a project in design.
