OTHER FACILITIES

Here is a list of other facilities we have at H Goodwin Foundry, Walsall.

Secondary Operation Machining

Most of the machining is carried out in our own machine shop. In addition to fettling and grinding, we undertake milling, slotting, turning and boring onsite. Other machining operations can be subcontracted to approved machine shops.

Heat Treatment for Whiteheart, Blackheart & Stress Relief

Specialist in-house, 10 tonne capacity heat treatment enables us to produce the Whiteheart Malleable range which is very ductile and also suitable for producing weldable castings. This same oven also allows us to anneal castings to requirements.

Wet Painting

Using this process, liquid paint is sprayed onto the surfaces of the casting in a coloured pigment suspended in a solvent. While it is being sprayed, the part is rotated to ensure full coverage.

Power Coating

Powder coatings are available in a very large range of colours and they can produce varying textures, depending on the requirement and end use. These coatings offer higher levels of abrasion and wear resistance than wet paint finishes – due to the thermal bonding involved.

Linishing and Polishing

We offer professional linishing and polishing services to ensure your finished castings achieve an optimal surface quality. Using abrasive belts and polishing wheels, our skilled team smooths away parting lines, refines raw surface textures, and prepares components for plating or painting. This finishing process eliminates surface imperfections while maintaining strict dimensional accuracy.

Deburring

Our deburring and barrelling services quickly remove sharp edges, flash, and unwanted burrs left behind by the primary casting process. By rounding rough corners and smoothing internal features, we improve component safety and ensure seamless downstream fitment. This crucial stage enhances product durability and prepares every part for immediate handling or further assembly.

Assembly and Sub Assembly

We streamline your supply chain by providing complete component assembly and sub-assembly in-house. Our team fits cast parts alongside complementary fixings, inserts, or secondary hardware to build ready-to-use mechanical units. By combining these tasks under one roof, we help you lower overall production costs and reduce lead times.

Project Management

Our dedicated project management team oversees every stage of your order from initial design consultation to final delivery. We coordinate tooling development, internal secondary processes, and specialised external operations to meet your exact specifications. This complete end-to-end oversight keeps projects on schedule, within budget, and fully compliant with ISO 9001 quality standards.
