Depending on the weight and lot size required HARDTOP manufactures and supplies castings made of
- unalloyed, alloyed and high alloyed steel,
- wear-resistant alloyed cast iron and austenitic manganese steel,
- bimetals and composites,
- grey cast iron,
- non-iron based alloys such as aluminium, copper or bronze,
- as well as powder forged parts.
