<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lecollectionneur, post: 404078, member: 8569&quot;]When I say that foundries are gone it&#039;s for the biggest ones, they are a lot of small foundries for bronce, precious metals and chirurgical steel, the same process as in US the firm Ruger use, the bell foundries stay with traditional use for cows and with special prices for ceremonies etc…</p><p>But for pieces like modelling railway wheels for example, they were cast about 20km. from my workshop 20 years ago but now I have no more possibilities less than 300km. to found somebody who make my castings.</p><p>Making cast iron with the quality you have at the Berlin or Hanau foundries is now totally out of my possibilities.</p><p>It seems that some people make no difference between steel and cast iron, but they are so different process that no manufacurer make the two things in the same factory, the lost wax process actually used currently is for special fine steel, but not used to make cast iron smal pieces and no more novelties than in the 19th century.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
