Explore advanced techniques and materials designed to increase the lifespan and efficiency of wear-resistant castings.

Discover the metallurgical principles behind alloy selection for high-temperature industrial environments.

Continuation of our detailed study on metallurgical processes influencing alloy performance in extreme heat conditions.

An insightful explanation of why some stainless steels are magnetic while others are not, with metallurgical reasoning.

Our team of metallurgists and engineers deliver end-to-end inspection, testing, and metrology solutions that help ensure components meet exact design and compliance requirements.

Looking for castings that perform under pressure? At Malabou, we supply ASTM A351 stainless steel castings – austenitic and duplex grades – trusted by OEMs and Industrial Clients globally.

In demanding industrial environments, components must withstand extreme thermal and mechanical stresses without compromising performance. ASTM A1095 sets the standard for SiMo (Silicon-Molybdenum) high-temperature castings, widely used in applications where heat resistance, durability, and dimensional stability are critical.

When equipment faces continuous high-temperature exposure—whether in kilns, furnaces, exhaust systems, or chemical process plants—the choice of material becomes critical. Not all steels are created equal. That’s where heat-resistant cast alloys, particularly those based on Nickel-Chromium-Iron (Ni-Cr-Fe) systems, can provide the decisive edge.

At Malabou, our strength lies in leveraging the ideal casting method for each component—optimising quality, complexity, and cost-efficiency

In today’s competitive manufacturing environment, the shift from complex multi-piece weldments to monolithic castings offers compelling advantages—spanning cost-efficiency, design flexibility, material choice, weight reduction, and enhanced stiffness, especially in scalloped areas. At Malabou, we specialise in guiding OEMs through this smart transition—and here’s why it’s a game-changer

In industries where corrosion resistance, strength, and durability are mission-critical, few materials perform as well as duplex and super duplex stainless steels. At Malabou, we supply precision-cast duplex and super duplex components that meet the highest quality standards.

When it comes to manufacturing metal components, many engineers assume forging is always the superior option

Sprocket-wheel or chainwheel are gear-like toothed cogs that mesh with chains, tracks or conveyors to provide motion and are an integral part of any power transmission mechanism.

If a lab says it is “accredited,” it means its systems, procedures, and staff competence have been independently audited against ISO/IEC 17025.

Understanding the metallurgy behind elevated temperature performance is essential for engineers and designers. At elevated temperature, metals don’t behave like they do at room temperature — creep, oxidation, and microstructural changes become dominant, and these must all be accounted for in design and material selection.

The 200-series stainless steels have an unusual history. Born out of necessity during World War II, they were designed to conserve nickel—a critical alloying element in the familiar 300-series (non-magnetic) stainless steels such as 304 and 316.

In today’s globally competitive market, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) can’t stay ahead without a supply chain that gives them an edge. A well-optimised supply chain is no longer just about cost — it’s a vital source of competitive advantage.

In 2015, after 12 years of running New Zealand’s largest investment casting foundry, we made a bold move: we acquired 100% of the company’s Indian operation, expanding our footprint into Coimbatore, a major manufacturing hub.

With rising input costs, talent shortages, and global competition, Australian OEMs need more innovative strategies to stay ahead. That’s where Malabou Pty Ltd comes in.

Australian manufacturers are under more pressure than ever — supply chains are tightening, competition is increasing, and margins are shrinking.
