Quaker City Castings: Top-Quality, American-Made Castings Family-owned and operated since 1932, Quaker City Castings is a proud supplier of the world’s best iron, steel and Monel, Inconel and Hastelloy nickel-base alloy and super-alloy castings. Our no-bake sand foundry produces a broad range of sand and centrifugal castings for myriad industrial applications. At Quaker City Castings, we understand the importance of quality and consistency—the success of your project depends upon it. Our laboratory equipment, testing facility and employee knowledge undergo constant improvement, allowing us to produce steel, iron, and nickel-base castings for use in the most critical, highly-demanding and high-performance environments. Not every application requires castings produced by the same method, or of the same material. Quaker City Castings creates a variety of castings, catering to the diverse needs of our customers. Our sand-casting process allows us to produce small batches, using most types of metal, at low cost and with short lead times. If you require fine-grained cylindrical tubes, we can provide them—in outer diameters of up to 13”! Our centrifugal casting process—which centrifugally spins molten metal, including ductile and gray iron, standard, carbon, stainless and heat-resistant steel, and super-alloys—allows us to create bushings, bearings, lapping pots, cylinder liners, and more. For customers whose complex applications demand the utmost in precision, Quaker City Castings can act as a domestic sourcing agent for investment cast components, ensuring that testing and procedural requirements are met, and that composition and performance standards are adhered to. Quaker City Castings is foremost a metal foundry—but we also provide top-quality welding, machining, heat treatment, blasting, pressure and non-destructive testing services—as well as 3D-printed sand molds for rapid prototyping.

Powerbore: A Leader in Custom and OEM Cylinder Sleeves Located in Salem, Ohio, Powerbore—a division of Quaker City Castings—manufactures custom and OEM cylinder sleeves for a broad range of engine applications. Whether your needs are standard, or high-demand, such truck and tractor pulling, or marine, street, cycle and other types of drag racing, strong, well-built, precisely-manufactured cylinder sleeves are of paramount importance. At Powerbore, we believe in taking a centralized, American-made approach, which starts with our own nearby foundry—in fact, it’s located right across the street! Having a foundry of our own means not importing materials (and as such, avoiding the risk of contamination, incorrect composition, and poor quality control), instead allowing us to cast and machine every sleeve we sell. Many manufacturers provide cylinder sleeves in a limited range of materials, which may be less than appropriate for highly demanding applications. Powerbore cylinder sleeves maximize the potential of any project: We can cast nearly any ferrous material found in the comprehensive ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) manual— and even custom-cast materials of your own design. If you require a sleeve in non-standard dimensions, we can help—custom cylinder sleeves are our specialty. Powerbore utilizes a number of materials—but for truck and tractor pullers, drag racers, and other “power users”, we proudly offer and most highly recommend Power Ductile™—our proprietary ductile iron, whose mechanical properties significantly outperform those of industry standard 100-70-03 ductile iron. Extreme conditions demand extreme materials. Power Ductile™ is up to any task you can put it to. It’s time to make the most of your engine applications. Choose Powerbore, where strength, quality and precision is built into everything we do. Visit http://powerbore.com/, or call (330) 332-1566 today!
