Castings
Cast components supplied machined and heat treated alongside our forgings
What Castings Is and Who It Is For
Shandong Tianhao Precise Engineering is a manufacturer of custom engineered forged or cast, machined and fabricated components. Casting is the right route where the shape has cored passages or complex geometry that forging cannot reach, and the same value added services apply: machining, heat treatment, fabrication and testing.
Key Benefits
- Complex and cored geometry that forging cannot produce
- Same machining, heat treatment and testing package as our forgings
- Forged or cast decided on the part, not on what the supplier owns
- One supplier across both routes for a mixed assembly
| Scope | custom engineered forged or cast, machined and fabricated components |
|---|---|
| Value added services | machining, heat treatment, fabrication, testing |
| Machining | CNC machining centre including a 5-axis machine |
Who It Is For
- Equipment builders with mixed forged and cast bills of material
- Buyers consolidating suppliers across both routes
- OEMs needing machined castings rather than raw ones
Problems It Solves
- Raw castings still need a machine shop, a heat treatment shop and an inspector
- Forging cannot produce internal passages and thin cored sections
- Two supply chains for one assembly doubles the coordination work
Technical Features
- Custom engineered cast components
- Machining on the CNC centre including 5-axis work
- Heat treatment and fabrication available
- Testing as a value added service

How It Compares
Forging gives better mechanical properties for the same grade and is preferred for highly loaded parts. Casting wins where the geometry has internal passages or where the shape would need excessive machining from a forged blank.
Use Guide
- Send the part and let us advise whether casting or forging suits it better
- Say which surfaces are machined so the casting allowance is correct
- Agree the testing scope with the order

Questions Buyers Ask About Castings
Do you supply castings as well as forgings?
Yes, we manufacture custom engineered forged or cast, machined and fabricated components.
Are castings machined before shipment?
They can be, on the same order, along with heat treatment and testing.
How do I choose between casting and forging?
Send the part drawing and we advise the route based on geometry, loading and volume.
