Company History and Technology
In 1950 Jake's Foundry was founded primarily to produce sand castings for oil field equipment manufactures. The principal alloy cast was aluminium bronze although other copper alloys as well as aluminium were also produced. In 1977 we changed the name of our company to Metal Dynamics Corporation and in 1980 the company expanded into a new facility in the near northeast section of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
MDC may not be considered an old company by some standards, however since 1950 we have been producing high quality castings for a variety of applications. The techniques we used in 1950 would hardly be recognized in our plant today.
Today's methods are a product of yesterday's observations. Our understanding of tooling design, gating, molding, and melting practices have been expanded by the review of thousands of x-ray film and metallurgical test results.
The application of new technology is a continuous part of our commitment to meeting the casting needs of our customers
