MAGPARTS is a well-organized foundry operation located in 100,000
square feet of buildings on approximately three and a half acres of
land in the city of Azusa, California, twenty miles east of Los
Angeles. We produce premium quality magnesium and aluminum castings.
Aluminum Sand Foundry
Our modern aluminum sand foundry has over 33,000 square feet of
manufacturing space with melting capacity of up to 20,000 pounds per
day. This recently completed facility includes both dry sand and green
sand molding systems. Other features are an automated dry sand
conditioning and delivery systems. Our core making capabilities include
no-bake, cold box, and shell core methods. Castings as heavy as 125 pounds
net weight and up to 6 feet in length or width can be produced.
Permanent Mold Foundry
Our permanent mold foundry has been combined with the new sand foundry to
gain efficiency in our melting operations and share the advantages of our
new core making operations. The foundry is capable of supporting horizontal
and vertically parted molds mounted on tilt machines and standard bases,
both hydraulic and manually operated. Castings up to 90 pounds net weight
in aluminum can be produced. We are also able to support magnesium permanent
mold requirements in our magnesium foundry.
Magnesium Sand Foundry
The magnesium sand foundry is housed in 14,500 square feet and has a melting
capacity of 10,000 pounds per day. The foundry includes both green sand and
dry sand molding operations, automated core making, and an efficient flux-less
melting and pouring system for improved casting quality. Sand castings up to
100 pounds net weight can be produced. This melting operation also supports
manufacture of investment and permanent mold castings to meet your advanced
magnesium requirements.
Investment Foundry
The investment foundry is housed in 6,500 square feet. We are capable of
pouring aluminum and magnesium investment castings up to 20 pounds net
weight and 24 square inches in size. Our magnesium investment casting
capability is the result of several years of research and development
and is unique in the industry.
In-House Support Services
In house support activities include a pattern shop, aluminum and magnesium
heat treating operations, non-destructive testing, mechanical testing,
spectrochemical analysis, precision CMM dimensional inspection, machining,
targeting, assembly, quality assurance and shipping and receiving. These
departments occupy another 44,000 square feet within our plant.
An additional service that MAGPARTS offers is to supply completely finished
parts. Any of the castings we produce can be supplied fully machined and
processed through plating, painting, and assembly as required. Our customers
can place one order and receive parts ready to be used in their end product.
Many of our customers are currently taking advantage of this service.

Aluminum Alloys
We presently cast many different aluminum alloys that include A201, A206, A356,
356, A357, C355, 319 and 535. We have made significant mechanical strength advancements
in the A201 alloy.
Magnesium Alloys
We presently cast magnesium alloys AZ91C, AZ91E, AZ92A, EZ33A, and ZE41A.
