Frequently Asked Questions
What cast iron materials do you support?
We machine gray iron, ductile iron, Meehanite, Ni-Resist, and other specialty alloys through in-house and partner capabilities.
How do you prevent chipping in brittle castings?
We minimize cracking by selecting appropriate tooling geometries, feed rates, and rigid fixturing, whether at our facility or through our certified Canadian partners.
Can you repair cracked or worn cast iron parts?
Yes. Pearson coordinates weld buildup, crack remediation, and post-weld machining — either performed in-house or through trusted partner shops — to restore casting functionality.
What size parts can you handle?
We support large castings up to 2m in length and 1.5m in width, utilizing internal and partner facilities with heavy-duty fixtures and overhead cranes.
Is this manufactured in-house?
Pearson Manufacturing operates on a hybrid fulfillment model. Some cast iron machining is performed in-house, while other projects are fulfilled through vetted Canadian partners depending on part size, tolerance, and scope.
