Optimized Designs
We do parallel design and validation of cast / forged components in each of the available metals to optimize our manufacturing options.
Our product development engineers apply Finite Element Analysis Techniques structural / model analysis and physical testing extensively during the component development process to validate material selection.
We utilize process simulations throughout the development cycle to support design and validate material choices. The resulting data enables us to establish design, material and production directions from which we can make final material selection.
The Best Cost-Effective Components
Our materials versatility ensures that components and systems are "manufacturable" and will function as designed. The result is that our customers get the best custom-designed cast and forged components, in the best choice of material, at a cost-effective price.
Citation is your single-source supplier for quality castings and forgings.
