carter arriel defontaine

Defontaine provides specific expertise in the manufacture of casings for demanding applications. We master several manufacturing processes in order to produce machined or complex mechanical casings.

Defontaine uses foundry blanks or forged blanks supplied by our qualified partners to carry out high-precision machining and meet our customers’ requirements. Various special processes (thermal spraying, painting, anodising, etc.) and component assembly can complete the service offered by Defontaine, upon specific request.

For the manufacture of complex mechanical casings, Defontaine offers a full service including the manufacture of flash-butt welded flanges. 

The flanges are assembled by TIG welding, FE welding, with various components from foundry, sheet metal, forged blanks or bosses. 

These highly technical assemblies are completed by machining phases, heat treatments if necessary and the use of special processes.
