CAST IRON BARS - COMMERCIALISATION 

 The Commercialisation of cast iron bars is a consolidated activity of the Fonderia Quaglia & Colombo, which has been active since the 1970s in the production and distribution of cast iron semi-finished products for the mechanical engineering industry.


 Thanks to the constant evolution of casting technologies, and particularly the use of continuous casting, today's cast iron bars guarantee high quality standards, structural uniformity, and reliability in subsequent processing stages. The availability of various geometries and cross-sections allows us to precisely meet the needs of machine shops, manufacturers, and companies involved in material processing.


 Types of cast iron bars produced:


round bars;

square bar;

rectangular bars;

perforated bars.

Experience and continuity in the supply of cast iron bars

 The Fonderia Quaglia & Colombo boasts over forty years of experience in the commercialisation of cast iron bars, a journey that has allowed it to refine processes, controls, and material management strategies.


 Over time, continuous casting has established itself as a technical solution capable of producing bars free of internal porosity, with a compact and homogeneous structure. These characteristics make the bars particularly suitable for applications requiring dimensional stability, good machinability, and consistent mechanical performance, even allowing, in specific applications, the replacement of components traditionally made of steel.

  • Continuous casting as a guarantee of quality

    One of the key aspects of the melting department with electric induction furnaces is the control of chemical analysis. The technology used allows for precise adjustments to the composition of the molten metal, adjusting the alloying elements according to specific requirements. This level of control is essential for the production of cast iron intended for mechanical processing and industrial applications, where stable mechanical and structural properties are essential. The melting process is constantly monitored to ensure uniformity between different castings and production continuity over time.

  • Well-stocked warehouse and fast supply times

    A distinctive feature of the service is our warehouse management, which is always well-stocked with the main types of bars. This allows Fonderia Quaglia & Colombo to ensure continuity in the sale of cast iron bars, reducing customer waiting times. If a specific size is not immediately available, our internal organization allows us to source the requested material quickly, generally within a week. This operational flexibility represents a concrete advantage for those who need to plan mechanical processes without interruptions or delays in supply.

  • Areas of use of cast iron bars

    L’adozione esclusiva dei forni elettrici ad induzione nel reparto fusorio offre diversi vantaggi concreti:


    • maggiore precisione nel controllo della temperatura del metallo
    • stabilità della composizione chimica della ghisa
    • ripetibilità del processo produttivo
    • riduzione delle impurità durante la fusione
    • integrazione efficiente con i reparti di formatura e colata.
    • Questi elementi rendono il reparto fusorio un punto di riferimento per produzioni che richiedono affidabilità tecnica e standard produttivi costanti.

  • Service reliability and technical support

    The marketing of cast iron bars goes beyond simply supplying the material; it is also part of a long-standing technical expertise. Our in-depth knowledge of the product allows us to assist customers in selecting the most suitable cross-section and type, based on the intended processing and the required characteristics of the final component. This approach helps establish ongoing, trust-based partnerships.
