With over 35 years of experience in the production of cast engineered products, casting quality is guaranteed.


The emphasis placed on the metallurgical component design and supply can be gauged from the history of research and innovation at NABL which has brought their position today among the leading Steel foundries in India for manufacture of wear and abrasion resistant and high Chromium castings. High Chromium alloys can be resistant to abrasion, corrosion and heat. They can also be tough and hard. Each of these qualities can be especially enhanced by alloying and heat treatment. By understanding environment conditions the perfect mix of qualities can be built into the product to give a cost effective component.


The modern foundry complex at subject was designed and built in 1980's by their own engineers to use modern production techniques in a new way which has the effect of allowing a large range of sizes and production quantities to be produced all too high tolerances and all in the very best hard iron alloy. For example castings ranging from one kg to 3.8 tones have been produced in fully machined condition for Department of Atomic Power Station, Critical impellers for under Sea Water applications approval under DGQCA.
