New Production Run B-17 Aluminum Castings
Posted: Mon Jul 29, 2019 2:53 pm
Hello all,
I am currently making small production runs of aluminum castings for the B-17. As of right now, I can only provide them in the as-cast state. I do cut off the runners and sprues, and clean them up. For reference, are images of castings I have just made of 41-9901.
If anyone is in need of these parts, or other aluminum castings for the B-17, please get into contact with me at FortCollinsB17@gmail.com or leave me a message at 970-658-6719. So far, I can cast using 356 and Al 13 (413.2). I am looking to buy 196 alloy ingots, but I have not found any way of determining what the 57-### alloys are.
Other parts for the intercooler handle assemblies, throttle handles, seat adjustment handles, and many others will be made soon.
Post cutting and grinding:
Raw castings in the background. A few have had to be recast due to mold failures.
