Waupaca Foundry

Recent announcements about new industrial facilities in two very different towns have bolstered the lauded strength of the manufacturing sector in Michigan.

As far away from Detroit as you can go and still be in Michigan is the small Upper Peninsula (UP) town of Ironwood, right on the Wisconsin border and just 18 miles from Lake Superior. A mining and logging boom town in the early and middle 1900s, Ironwood has endured multiple doses of bad business news.

Trump Lifts Tariffs on Mexico, Canada

Bogged down in a sprawling trade dispute with U.S. rival China, President Donald Trump took steps Friday to ease tensions with America's allies — lifting import taxes on Canadian and Mexican steel and aluminum and delaying auto tariffs that would have hurt Japan and Europe. By removing the metals tariffs on Canada and Mexico, Trump cleared a key roadblock to a North American trade pact his team negotiated last year. As part of Friday's arrangement, the Canadians and Mexicans agreed to scrap retaliatory tariffs they had imposed on U.S. goods.

China Trade Conflict Brewing for 20 Yrs

The U.S.-China trade blowup was a long time coming. And it won't be easily resolved, not even if U.S. and Chinese negotiators reach a truce in the next few weeks that reassures jittery financial markets. Tensions between the world's two biggest economies intensified over the last week. The Trump administration more than doubled tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese imports and spelled out plans to target the $300 billion worth that aren't already facing 25% taxes. The escalation covers everything from sneakers to toasters to billiard balls.

Full Speed Ahead: Manufacturing Continues to Grow

Economic activity in the manufacturing sector expanded again in August, say the nation's supply executives in the latest Manufacturing ISM Report On Business. The August PMI registered 61.3 percent, an increase of 3.2 percentage points from the July reading of 58.1 percent. PMI is an indicator of the economic health of the manufacturing sector; it's based on five major indicators: new orders, inventory levels, production, supplier deliveries and the employment environment. A reading above 50 percent indicates that the manufacturing economy is generally expanding; below 50 percent indicates that it is generally contracting.

China's manufacturing cost advantage over the United States has shrunk to just 1 percent, according to a study by the Boston Consulting Group published this year. What's going on here? America's higher levels of automation and lower input costs (such as electricity) have triggered dramatically better productivity. UAW wage concessions are playing a role, too.

Faced with a drop in political support, the White House is focusing this week on "Made in America" products in an effort to shore up support among voters skeptical of free trade and globalization. The U.S., Mexico and Canada may now begin talks in 30 days. U.S. officials say they would like to finish the talks by January, before the Mexican presidential campaign and U.S. midterm elections heat up.

Foundry in a Box Sparks Interest in Manufacturing Jobs

When a young person says "I want to be a firefighter when I grow up," there's a clear visual image of that career. But when a young person is told "you could have a career as a quality engineer," there's no reference point. But Waupaca Foundry is working to change the image of tomorrow's industrial careers.

Waupaca Foundry lightweight ductile iron knuckle increases suspension strength

The Honda Ridgeline receives a unibody revolution and its suspension components have been beefed up. Even its steering knuckle, made by Waupaca Foundry in Lawrenceville, Penn. is stronger than it's Honda Pilot counterpart, but nearly as light. The article nods to Hitachi Metals HNM Series high-strength ductile, which allows components to be lighter weight while also more durable. As a result of the redesigned knuckle, the Honda Ridgeline front and rear suspension is 17% and 31% stronger, respectively.

Stiff Duties Expected on Driveline Components from China and Canada

The Department of Commerce and International Trade Commission suspect driveline components exported from China and Canada to the US are sold at prices below fair market value or are being subsidized by a foreign "authority". However, a new anti-dumping or countervailing duty rule could change that. Preliminary findings of investigations by the Department of Commerce into subsidies and dumping allegations indicate that duties could soon be imposed on iron castings from these two countries.

Five Ways to Achieve Lightweighting Objectives with Iron Castings

The Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) standard is set to hit 54.5 mpg in 2025, so itâ€™s no surprise the auto industry is aggressively pursuing ways to increase fuel efficiency. The Center for Automotive Lightweightingâ€™s Web site states that the use of lightweight materials in vehicles will significantly increase fuel efficiency and cut emissions. As the market takes a serious step towards increasing fuel economy, the topic of material substitution is at the forefront. Gray and ductile iron material is not exactly perceived as lightweight. But, use of this higher-strength iron, allows for design engineers to use less material. Now weâ€™re talking.

ETOWAH, Tenn. -- Four years after Waupaca Foundry Inc., reopened its automotive castings plant here, the 560 employees who stamp out thousands of automotive parts every day are operating quite literally in a brighter environment. Over the past four months, 1,016 metal halide and T12 light fixtures were replaced with brighter, and more energy-efficient LED lights. The changeover cost more than $750,000. But the new lights are projected to yield an annual energy savings of more than 4.6 million kilowatthours worth $232,385 a year.

Filter Block Trial Leads to Higher Quality Castings

Molten metal filters are used in the iron casting process to prevent slag and other harmful inclusions from entering the mold and ending up in the final casting. There are several types of molten metal filters to choose from. However, to guarantee the best performance from any filter, it is critical to have an understanding of the physical characteristics of the slag or inclusions specific to your foundry application.
