CASTING A WIDE NET
At Urick, we understand that the strength and durability of SG iron make it an essential material for various ductile iron applications across many different industries. Our commitment to quality and precision shows in our casting process, making us a trusted partner for reliable and high-performance parts. We take pride in our ability to adapt to the unique needs of each sector we serve, ensuring that our components not only meet but exceed ASTM A536 specifications.
Agriculture
A lot is demanded of modern farmers, and modern farmers demand a lot out of their equipment. Stay on top of the food supply chain with durable spheroidal graphite iron castings for use in the agriculture equipment manufacturing industry.
Urick castings are used in a variety of agricultural equipment, including tractors, plows, harrows, and irrigation systems. These parts are designed to withstand the constant wear and tear of farming activities, ensuring that farmers can rely on their equipment season after season.
Heavy Truck
Stand up to the rigors of the road with ductile iron. Urick produces heavy-duty truck parts that meet and exceed the high standards of the OTR transportation industry through processes like austempering and vertical in-mold inoculation.
Ductile iron castings provide the necessary durability for engine blocks, suspension components, and brake systems. They are engineered to endure long hours on the road, carrying heavy loads and navigating through various weather conditions.
ITAR
Reinforced by Emerson's powerful resources, our ductile iron foundry is advantageously positioned to manufacture ITAR-compliant parts (i.e., International Traffic in Arms Regulations) for subcontractors of the U.S. military.
The defense industry has a stringent standard for quality and reliability, and our foundry meets these standards with the capability to produce essential castings for military vehicles, weaponry, and protective systems.
Rail
When it comes to cast materials, ductile iron more than pulls its weight — along the thousands of miles of track that carry America's rail transport industry. Urick capably casts locomotive parts equal to every push, pull, stop, and go.
The rail industry is an integral part of the nation's infrastructure, and our castings play a critical role in maintaining the safety and efficiency of rail transportation. Components such as track fastenings, couplers, and brake parts are manufactured to withstand the high loads and stresses encountered by trains during transit.
Recreation
The recreation equipment industry requires high-performance parts that won't break under stress. Ductile iron castings are perfectly conditioned to withstand the extreme forces that often accompany playing your hardest.
