Aluminum foundries purchase aluminum stock or scrap, melt it in furnaces, and pour the molten metal into sand, permanent, or investment molds to produce aluminum castings. These facilities typically operate heavy melting furnaces, overhead cranes, and finishing equipment such as grinders and saws. Castings are produced for industrial customers in sectors such as automotive, aerospace, construction, and general manufacturing.
Questions to investigate
- What end-use industries and applications are the castings produced for — automotive, aerospace, general industrial?
- What melting process and furnace types are in use, and what is the age and maintenance history of major equipment?
- What environmental controls are in place for metal fume emissions, slag handling, and wastewater?
- Has the operation had any workers' comp claims involving burns, molten metal contact, or respiratory illness in recent years?
