hscast-advantage
They have their own machining facilities that allows them to control the process from beginning to end.

hscast-engineering
Their 3-D engineering software simulates mold filling and solidifcation to help them "see" issues before a part is ever cast.

hscast-production
They have three electric arc furnaces with the flexibility of acid and basic melting practices. They can do shroud pouring to help keep air out of the cast and they can not only machine the products, they can paint them.

hscast-machining
They list their machine tools, but I don't understand them.

hscast-quality-control
They not only have a lot of measurement equipment, they have a lot of non-destructive inspection equipment such as radiographic and ultrasonic testing.

Dennis DeBruler: Dustin Gregory I presume this is in Harrison Steel Castings. This is one of the best EAF overview shot that I have seen. It clearly shows how the lid swings to the side and the size of the electric cables that attach to the feeds on the side of the building.
