FAQ

Yes, we do. We have our own sand 3D printer. We have been using 3D printed sand moulds for years.

Yes, we do. We have all the necessary equipment and qualified personnel to perform X-ray tests (including radioscopy, digital radiography and film), as well as penetrant, ultrasonic and hardness tests.

Yes, we do. We cooperate with many clients on product development and optimization. What is more, before any product is put into mass production, we cast prototype parts (first articles).

Yes, we do, for both sand and dies.

As low as 4 mm while meeting all the required casting tolerances, of course.

We inspect our castings at every production stage. We perform various tests, e.g. non-destructive, leak and strength tests. We test the chemical composition, material structure and properties, as well as the capacity for internal defects. The material structure analysis is performed with the use of digital microscopes, whereas the quality and strength of castings is evaluated using cutting-edge devices for destructive testing.

Yes, we do. We weld castings and drawn aluminium parts together into uniform, “hybrid” components.

We do that with the use of Coordinate Measuring Machines (CMMs), a 3D laser scanner and various kinds of specialist devices, e.g. thickness gauges for measuring walls which are hard to access.

Yes, we do. They are part of our heat treatment services.

Yes, we do. We also provide painting and copper plating services.

Yes, we do. We offer T6 heat treatment as well as other HT services, depending on customer specifications.

Yes, we do. Our machine shop contains over 60 machining centres with 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-axis machines.

Yes, we do. We offer powder coating and wet painting services. We also perform silver and copper plating.

Yes, we do. We assemble the castings we make as per customer requirements. The components which we use for assembly are either supplied by customers or, if required, they are bought from customer-selected suppliers. It is not only raw or machined castings that we offer. We also provide complete assembly-ready components.

Yes, we do. We provide a complete package of foundry services. Our clients receive all the foundry services they need. 3D models and patterns are made in our design department and pattern shop respectively.

Yes, we do. As a rule, we make prototypes which undergo FAI approval processes, and then they can be put into mass production.

Yes, it is. We have a dedicated design department for that purpose.

Yes, we do. We cast large lots, unusual components, parts over 10 tonnes in weight and even over 10 metres long.

We cast using many kinds of light aluminium alloys. Our castings are tested and certified as per EN1706 (Material Certificate 3.1) and other international standards, such as VDS, DIN and UNI.

It depends on the level of complexity and the casting method. Most often, it is 6-10 weeks.

Yes, absolutely. We are focused on serving our customers and we want to meet your casting needs.

No, you don’t. Our design office is here to help you.

Yes, there is. We would only have to confirm that the casting processes match and that we can adapt our tooling.

Yes, we do. We have a laser tracker, so we can scan a component and create a set of 3D data to compare it with the original data.

It is enough to produce a drawing, a draft or a physical component. However, 2D drawings, 3D drawings, quantities and specifications are always welcome, as they allow us to understand your request better and prepare a more precise quotation.

Our plant is ISO9001 certified, both generally and in terms of specific standards, such as IRIS, ISO/TS22163 for rail and EN9100 for aerospace. In addition, we have a NADCAP accreditation for special processes for the aerospace industry issued by PRI, an independent body. We also have accreditations for the defence and marine industries.

Yes, we have.

As per customer requirements, but usually FCA or DDP.

It usually takes max. 3 working days if we have all the data we need.

Our turnaround time is typically 6-10 weeks.

Thoni Alutec provides a complete package of foundry services. Thanks to our versatility, we can make any kind of aluminium casting. Our main clients are in energy, rail, aerospace, medical, robotics and many others.

Yes, we will. You will have a dedicated project leader to inform you about every production stage. Their job is to answer your questions and keep you informed about the production process.

We provide the full supply chain services, so the casting, machining, tests, painting and even assembly.

Yes, we have our own transport services, but we outsource deliveries, too. We cooperate with highly experienced carriers. Our Europeans clients receive their castings within a three-day delivery tolerance. Our clients outside Europe are served by our business partners—forwarding companies with subsidiaries on all continents. Export customs and duty tax formalities are taken care of internally.

Absolutely. Most of the components we make are sent all over the world, so we have plenty of experience in customs. We take care of export customs and duty tax formalities internally.

We deliver castings all over the world.

Thoni Alutec sp. z o.o. has been in the market for over 20 years.
