Sheffield Forgemasters Wins Top U.K. Castings Industry Award 谢菲尔德铸锻公司赢得英国顶级铸造行业大奖


A 114-metric-ton cast steel clamp for use on an offshore


subsea structure won the “Best U.K. Casting Award 2012.” Sheffield Forgemasters Engineering Ltd., South Yorkshire, England, manufactured the component as a one-off casting on a tight deadline. It was modeled, cast, machined, then delivered to the Danish Siri Oil Field in October 2012. “Sheffield Forgemasters Engineering produces remark-


able large components, and this clamp casting is world class,” said John Parker, chief executive of the Cast Metals Federa- tion, which organizes the awards. Sheffield Forgemasters Engineering won the award


from a short list that included a lightweight aluminum hand-held thermal imager for soldiers by Wrexham-based Tritech Group, a large brass panel from Brass Found- ers Sheffield, and a boron steel storage rack by Lost Wax Developments in Bridgnorth. “Te four shortlisted components involve four very


different metals, three different processes and ranged in weight from 1.25kg to 114 tons showing the strength of the U.K. foundry industry,” said Parker. “Te industry has weathered the recent economic storms and is looking to the future.” Two other awards were given. “Company Achievement of


the Year” went to Saint-Gobain PAM, Derbyshire, England, for its outstanding performance in terms of growth, investment and employee participation over the last twelve months. Te second was for “Supplier of the Year,” which was won by Petrofer UK, Telford, England, for the development and launch of its new range of Biostable Die Face Releasants for the high pressure diecasting sector. 
