Astech, Inc. is a steel jobbing foundry specializing in the production of castings for heat, wear, and corrosion resistance.  Alloys cast include carbon steel, low alloy steel, stainless steel, manganese steel and tool steel as well as high chromium white irons and many nickel base alloys.

Our facility is unique with the capability for short and long casting runs tailored to meet industry requirements. Casting specialty alloys requires a special alliance of technology and expertise. Our customers require parts that perform well under extreme conditions and our technicians can formulate alloys to meet these individual needs .

Abrasion Resistant Alloys
Chromium and chromium-molybdenum white irons are unequaled in their resistance to abrasive wear. The alloy white irons are cast for use in shot blast machines, crusher blocks, chute liners, cement production wear parts, earth-moving parts, vibratory mills, food processing wear parts and related equipment.

Carbon and Low Alloy Steels
Steel castings have the same advantages as wrought steels (respond well to heat treatment, good weldability, good mechanical properties) plus the added benefits of non-directionality of mechanical properties and the facility of the production of complex shapes at low cost.

Heat-Resistant Stainless Steel Alloys
Nickel-chromium steel alloys, Grades HA thru HX - These nickel-chrome steel alloys are ideal for heat-treating furnace applications where temperatures are extreme and hot strength is essential. Typical uses for this family of alloys include burner nozzles, connection tube supports, grate supports, kiln nose ring segments, hearth rollers and roller supports, billet skids, furnace door arches and lentils, furnace chain, annealing/ hardening/ quenching and heat treating trays and boiler parts.

Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel Alloys
The Austenitic, Ferritic, and Martensitic Grades of Cast Stainless Steels - The austenitic, ferritic, and martensitic stainless steels exhibit high-temperature strength and good scaling resistance. They can be used successfully in applications where carbon and low-alloy steels would be destroyed by corrosive environmental effects. Typical applications include chemical and food processing equipment, aircraft heaters, heat-treating equipment and furnace parts.

Tool Steels/Modified Tool Steel
VE-7 Alloy - This alloy has been developed specifically for use wherever high, hot hardness is necessary. It has been used extensively in valve seat inserts.

Alloy Cast Iron
Plain gray iron and alloyed cast iron compositions are so varied, Astech recommends inquiry based on specific needs.

Work Hardening Steel
Astech specializes in the production of 11% to 14% austenitic manganese steel castings for various wear resistant applications and has developed a proprietary version that enhances the alloys work hardening characteristics.
