/ Casting Capabilities

The right process for your alloy and tolerance.

Sand casting, shell moulding, investment casting—each process applied where it earns its keep. Grey iron, ductile iron, aluminium, and non-ferrous alloys handled in-house.

Suited for medium-to-large components with moderate tolerance requirements. Weight range 0.5 kg to 200 kg. Tooling cost kept low for prototype and mid-volume runs.

Tighter dimensional accuracy than green sand. Surface finish Ra 3.2-6.3 µm typical. Best for high-volume components where consistency across batches is non-negotiable.

Complex geometries, thin walls, and tight tolerances up to ±0.1 mm. Near-net-shape output reduces machining time and material waste on precision components.

Secondary operations, no subcontracting.

Machining, shot blasting, and heat treatment are done in-house at Lothada. Your casting leaves as a finished component—one supplier, one traceability chain, no handoff gaps.

Each operation is logged against the casting batch number. Dimensional reports and material certs ship with the delivery.
