ROBAR Foundry ALLOYS - IRON, STEEL, COPPER base

We forge high performance;

COPPER based & other alloys

ROBAR uses Induction Furnaces to convert Steel Scrap, Pig Iron, Returns and alloying materials into any one of the 36 standard metallurgical materials.

As the metal melts, alloying materials are added in order to modify the metal's chemistry. There are about 30 materials commonly specified for use in our "recipes" at ROBAR.

In addition to carefully controlling the materials and conditions in the melting operation, extensive quality checks are made throughout the process. ROBAR uses a "Baird" Spectrometer as well as other sophisticated instruments like "Electronite" Pyrometers and a "Leeds-Northrup" Digilab for these tests.



Three 1,000 pound capacity furnaces are set up to melt Steel Alloys in batches.
The furnaces are two Pillar Mark 8's, and one Ajax Pacer LI.

Another two 4,000 pound capacity furnaces are used to melt and hold Iron alloys. Both of these furnaces are Pillar Mark 14's. This metal is usually "tapped out"(poured) into 800 pound capacity ladles every twenty minutes.

When the molten metal has reached the right temperature and meets the required chemical and physical specifications, it is tapped into a pre-heated pouring ladle.
