At BRODIX, we do more than just assemble parts. Our legendary cylinder heads and engine blocks begin their life in our state-of-the-art foundry right here in Mena, Arkansas where we cast our performance parts from raw aluminum.
Why does an in-house foundry matter?
BRODIX has absolute control. From the moment raw materials enter our facility to the final precision machining, every step of the process is meticulously overseen. We do not rely on outside suppliers for our core components because our customers’ success demands nothing less than perfection.
What sets the BRODIX foundry apart?
Proprietary Virgin A-356 Aluminum: We utilize a unique, high-strength aluminum alloy, specifically developed for the extreme demands of racing. This isn't off-the-shelf material; our castings use an aluminum foundation built for horsepower and durability.
Decades of Expertise: Our heritage in aluminum foundries dates back to the very roots of BRODIX. With over 60 years of experience, we have honed our techniques and perfected our processes to push the boundaries of what is possible in high-performance casting.
Advanced Casting Techniques: Our foundry produces close-tolerance, high-strength castings, ensuring consistent quality and superior structural integrity in every casting. This translates directly to enhanced reliability and longevity for your engine.
The Toughest Castings in the Business: From extra-thick deck surfaces to reinforced rocker stud bosses, our castings are renowned for their unmatched strength.
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) Process: For certain applications, we go the extra mile with the HIP process that greatly increases the cast products mechanical properties. This advanced densification process reduces or eliminates internal microporosity, enhances impact strength and toughness, and improves the quality of the machined surfaces.
Seamless Integration: The foundry is just the beginning. Our in-house casting allows for seamless transitions to heat treating, CNC machining, and final assembly to ensure that every BRODIX product meets our uncompromising standards.
When you choose BRODIX, you're not just buying a component; you're investing in a legacy of American craftsmanship, cutting-edge technology, and our unwavering commitment to performance that only in-house manufacturing can deliver.
