Travis Pattern & Foundry Inc services

Our current aluminum output sits at roughly 7 million lbs a year but with the infrastructure and resources that we have in place we could easily double that. Of the aluminum that we produce approximately 85 percent of it ends up being used in house. The remaining 15 percent is shipped out in the form of raw ingot where it is used by other foundries and metallurgical facilities for a variety of applications. To facilitate such a high demand we have both induction and gas furnaces running around the clock on three separate shifts. The majority of our aluminum comes to us in the form of recycled material which we reuse to produce our desired alloys. With major hubs such as Seattle and Portland with in driving distance you can be sure there is no shortage of aluminum, and the only limiting factor to the amount of aluminum we pour is our volume of orders.

Incorporated into our primary sand system is our bronze pouring line. While the majority of our bronze/brass consumption is for electrical transmission components we do produce castings for many other industries. Of the alloys that we pour some of the most common are 955(Aluminum Bronze), 836 (Red Brass), 115 (Red Brass), 875 (Silicon Bronze), 833 (Red brass/Contact metal), and 131 (Red Brass/Contact metal). Our average annually consumption of bronze/brass comes in at roughly a half of a million lbs.
