BRC supplies steel castings with reliable performance in energy and other industrial applications.
BRC’s mould design process integrates advanced engineering software such as ProCAST simulation and SolidWorks CAD/CAM. These tools allow us to model, simulate, and refine moulds before production begins, reducing errors and ensuring dimensional accuracy.
Prototyping capabilities further support customers in validating designs and optimising performance before full-scale manufacturing.
With an annual melting capacity of 130,000 tonnes and a range of advanced furnaces and refining systems, BRC ensures consistent quality in every steel casting. Our equipment includes:
Complementing these are high-capacity sand mixers, capable of up to 60 tonnes per hour, along with overhead cranes rated up to 300 tonnes to handle the heaviest castings. Shot blasting machines ensure surface preparation and finishing meet the highest quality standards.
BRC provides both rough and finish machining for steel castings. With CNC lathes, horizontal and vertical lathes, and advanced milling machines, we can handle components up to 8 metres in dimension and weighing up to 80 tonnes.
This combination of capacity and precision enables us to deliver quality castings that meet the most stringent requirements.
To achieve the desired mechanical properties, BRC’s castings undergo carefully controlled heat treatment cycles. These processes refine the material’s microstructure and enhance the overall durability of each component.
Treatment schedules are tailored to the specific alloy and application, ensuring dependability under the most demanding operating conditions.
Every steel casting is subject to comprehensive inspection and testing protocols. Non-destructive testing (NDT) methods, including ultrasonic, magnetic particle, radiographic, and penetrant inspections, verify the material’s integrity. Dimensional checks ensure conformance with specifications, while mechanical testing, such as tensile, impact, and hardness assessments, confirm performance characteristics.
All testing and reviews are carried out by certified Level II and Level III NDT inspectors, ensuring the highest level of accuracy and compliance. Processes are conducted in line with international standards and certifications, including ABS, DNV, Lloyd’s Register, and ISO.
