Other Cast Products

Production of other metal products and household items covers a wide range of goods, from functional components for various industries to everyday household items. This line of work combines engineering precision with the ability to create attractive shapes, offering solutions that improve the comfort, efficiency, and appearance of our surroundings. Main purpose:

• Functional parts: Components for general-purpose machines and mechanisms, fasteners, brackets, instrument housings, equipment parts for the food, chemical, and power industries.
• Household items: Decorative interior and exterior elements (candlesticks, frames, fittings), garden accessories, furniture parts, kitchenware (for example, cast-iron skillets), door handles, plaques.
• Promotional and souvenir products: Branded plaques, awards, souvenirs, keychains. Key technical characteristics:
• Material: Depending on the application, this can include iron (gray, ductile, malleable), steel (carbon, stainless, alloy), aluminum alloys, bronze, brass, copper. The choice is driven by the required strength, corrosion resistance, appearance, and machinability.
• Casting method: A range of methods is widely used, including sand casting (for large, less demanding items), investment (lost foam) casting (for high precision and fine detail, especially for decorative elements), chill casting (for series production and good surface quality), die casting (for complex, precise items in aluminum and zinc alloys).
• Size and shape: From miniature to large-scale structures. Items of any complexity with fine detail can be produced.
• Surface quality: Can range from as-cast rough to high-precision, polished, or decoratively finished (patination, painting, chrome plating), depending on the required final appearance.
• Strength and durability: Determined by the intended use. Household items need enough strength for everyday use, while industrial components must withstand specified loads and operating conditions.
• Aesthetic characteristics: For decorative and household items, the ability to create intricate textures, patterns, and shapes for an attractive appearance is important. Production capabilities: Type of production: Modern Technologies mini-plant Casting method:
• Lost foam casting (LFC) - ideal for producing complex, unique, or low-volume items with high precision, minimizing tooling and post-processing costs.
• V-process (vacuum sealed molding) - delivers high surface quality and casting accuracy at an optimal cost, and is an environmentally clean alternative to traditional sand molds. Floor area: From 200 m² Output: From 300 tonnes of finished products a year. Wholesale price in Kazakhstan - from $1.2/kg and up Margin - 30⁠-⁠75% (depends on the complexity, material, volume, and uniqueness of the item, as well as finishing requirements). Kazakhstan market price (approximate benchmarks): By kilogram:
• Cast-iron household/decorative items (unfinished): from $1.2/kg to $3/kg.
• General-purpose aluminum components: from $4/kg to $8/kg.
• Decorative bronze/brass items: from $10/kg to $30+/kg. By unit price (finished products, examples):
• Cast-iron skillet (simple): from $10/pc to $30/pc.
• Decorative wall bracket (iron/aluminum): from $6/pc to $20/pc.
• Complex sculpture/figurine (bronze): from $100/pc to several hundred $/pc (depending on size and detail). Price depends heavily on the metal grade, manufacturing complexity, dimensions and weight of the item, batch size, and finishing requirements (machining, polishing, painting, patination, electroplating).
