Applications

Heat Transfer Castings

We use a variety of different casting methods to assist in the transferal of heat.  The first is the standard linear type cooling fins that are common with piston cylinders. We also use pin-fins , as is the case of the “Turret drive system”. Designed to get the most use of available air movement from various directions, they are utilized heavily by the U.S. Military.

The second method of cooling, or heating an individual component is to internally cast tubes.  We usually use stainless steel but have had success with other materials.

Marlborough Foundry has performed applications for military guidance systems, motor cooling systems contained in a vacuum, medical testing equipment and analytical instruments, just to name a few.
