Johnson Centrifugal produces aluminum castings in a wide range of high-performance alloys, selected for strength, machinability, corrosion resistance, and structural consistency.

Our alloy expertise allows us to tailor chemistry and temper requirements to meet exact application specifications.

6061 Aluminum Castings

Our proprietary JC6061™ aluminum castings deliver forged-equivalent performance and are significantly cleaner than traditional cast products, with zero inclusions and a uniform equiaxed grain structure.

This makes 6061 ideal for:

  • precision machining
  • vacuum-critical environments
  • structural industrial components
  • semiconductor applications

The JC6061™ – T6C AnoMaxx® alloy meets the most demanding semiconductor requirements, offering:

  • super-clean chemistry exceeding industry standards 
  • outstanding anodizing response 
  • excellent strength 
  • superior machinability 
  • optional refined chemical limits

356 Aluminum Castings

356 aluminum castings, available in T6 and T5 conditions, offer excellent castability, dense grain structure, strong mechanical properties, and superior machinability.

These components are commonly used for:

  • seal rings 
  • precision industrial parts 
  • power generation systems 
  • marine equipment 
  • military applications 
  • paper processing machinery

7075 Aluminum Castings

7075 aluminum castings provide an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio for high-stress applications.

JCT’s casting process produces dense, defect-free 7075 aluminum components suitable for:

  • structural applications 
  • subsea equipment 
  • load-bearing designs 
  • industrial processing systems
