Cylinder
Heads are produced mainly in cast iron, though the company
is developing aluminium heads for specific applications.
These casting are made at one of the Shriram Group's own
foundries which is the largest, and technically the most
advanced, in the country. The cylinder heads are manufactured
using shell moulding casting process to achieve a uniform
wall thickness of the water jacket.
The casting and the water passages
are cleaned using the shot blasting process, and the heads
are machined using highly sophisticated CNC machines that
yield excellent dimensional accuracy. Advanced testing
using processes like Metallurgical Testing, Hydro-pressure
Testing and Vacuum Testing is carried out to ensure delivery
of a defect free product to the customer.
