Allard - Europe

Allard-Europe is a reliable steel and iron foundry making large castings to customer specifications. All produced castings can be machined in-house. The machining shop is equipped with CNC milling and turning machines with a capacity up to 10m diameter. CAD/CAM software (Siemens NX8) adds up to the flexibility of the company. 
Investing for the future Allard-Europe has invested for the coming years. This means that a higher melting capacity for heavier castings and higher flexibility is installed, this with a melting capacity to over 40t. More precise analysis equipment is installed for chemical elements 0, N, H, C and S together with new heat treatment furnaces. To optimize the lead time and to accommodate new equipment, Allard-Europe has built a brand new machining shop. The existing machining equipment is moved to the new facility and new machines has been installed for a better service. The new machines are a vertical lathe with a maximum outside turning diameter of 4.7m (provided with spindle and double column design); and a new 5-axes controlled milling and boring machine with machining length up to 13m.

Materials
Carbon steel, low alloy steel, heat-resistant steel, wearresistant steel and stainless steel (Martensitic SS, Ferritic SS, Austenitic SS, Duplex SS) Duplex Castings.
Duplex Castings
Through elaborated process control during melting AllardEurope is able to achieve low carbon, and ELC-grades in stainless steel. Thanks to extensive research, AllardEurope has the knowhow to make heavy sectioned parts in duplex stainless steel, e.g. GX2CrNiMoCuN25-6-3-3. The foundry has a long history in making low carbon martensitic grades like CA6NM or GX3CrNi13-4.
