Our sand casting capacity ranges from 50 lbs. to 7,000 lbs. furnace capacity, while our investment castings range from less than 1 lb. to 350 lbs.

Over 250 alloys are poured at SF&E, with groups including: Stainless Steel, Hardenable & Non-Hardenable, Heat-Resistant Stainless, Nickel Alloys, Cobalt Alloys, Carbon & Low-Alloy Steels, Cast Irons, Tool Steels and Specialty Alloys.

Our Machine Shop services include specialized turning and milling machining services. Our machining capabilities range from ounces to 600 lbs and enable us to manufacture parts with intricate geometry and detail while maintaining high precision and accuracy.
