Ceramic Gating & Components
Ceramic Gating & Components
The use of ceramic gating components for steel castings is now a widely acknowledged method to improve castings and ICP continues to break new ground on quality of ceramics for this market. Not only do these components withstand thermal shock and high temperatures, but recent innovations also include a spall resistant tube that has been used successfully in some of the largest castings poured.
ICP does not stop with just good products. It is a committed belief that product and service are equal partners in any successful company and we pride ourselves on both. Our personnel are aware that our future depends on our customers and they have been trained to be both knowledgeable and courteous. We appreciate the trust that current customers place in us and would like to be given a chance to talk with any foundry on the advantages of using our gating components.
"Prior to our relationship with Weaver Materiel, we were purchasing riser sleeves direct from the OEM. As a stocking distributor, Weaver typically is able to deliver same or next day. OEM lead times averaged three to four weeks. With Weaver, I've been able to reduce my working inventory by about 40%."
