For this #FoundryFriday weāre taking a look at the foundation of every BRODIXĀ® casting ā the aluminum itself. š„š
At BRODIX, quality starts long before machining begins. Every cylinder head and block we produce starts with proprietary A-356 virgin aluminum alloy poured right here at our in-house foundry in Mena, Arkansas.
Why does that matter?
ā Virgin aluminum ingots mean no recycled scrap or unknown contaminantsāØā A-356 alloy delivers excellent strength-to-weight characteristicsāØā Our proprietary blend has been refined through decades of racing and performance development
From raw molten aluminum to finished high-performance race parts, keeping the entire casting process in-house allows us to maintain the consistency and quality racers have trusted for generations.
Made in Mena. Made for racers. šŗšø
