Continuous casting and machine shop
Products and Services
The BOA foundry produces continuously cast bars in copper alloys. Solid round bars, hollow round bars and flat bars, in aluminum and tin bronze alloys. The bars are machined in our in-house workshop to customer specification. On request we produce non-standard alloys and profiles, and centrifugally cast tubes.

In which alloys
Main alloys
Aluminum bronzes
Tin bronzes
Upon request, additional alloys (based on EU or extra-EU standards) and further profiles are produced.
Machining
The in-house workshop
At BOA we perform precision mechanical machining to customer specification. We process non-ferrous metals, primarily tin bronzes, aluminum bronzes, brass, and other copper alloys.
- Turning
- up to Ø 600 mm
- Milling
- up to 2000 mm in length
- CNC machining
- machines with up to 5 axes
- Metrology room
- three-dimensional measuring system and roughness tester
- Precision instruments
- subject to regular calibration
Made to order
Non-standard, to specification
Centrifugally cast tubes
Rough and machined tubes with an outer diameter greater than 300 mm and a length up to 1000 mm. Actual length and thickness are evaluated based on the total weight of the casting. Every batch is documented: chemical analysis, HB hardness, radiometric testing, tolerances. We supply 3.1 certification in accordance with the standard.
Non-standard alloys and profiles
Alloys based on EU or extra-EU standards and profiles outside the catalogue, produced to customer specification.
Heat treatment and cutting
Additional services on flat bars, to customer specification.
Testing and documentation
Every batch documented
- Chemical analysis
- HB hardness
- Radiometric control
We perform tests for chemical analysis, HB hardness, and radiometric control on all our products. Additionally, we can provide any type of test through our internal laboratory or through qualified external laboratories.
We provide 3.1 certification according to UNI EN 10204 standards.
