2 ABOUT : BSL Casting was founded in 2008 by an experienced management team in the foundry business. We have built a solid team since day 1 and this help us to efficiently collaborate in meeting the rigorous specs of our customers. Our vision To become a North-American leader in making small dimension / small runs casting parts in steel valued-added material. Our mission Our mission is to make steel casting parts from 1 lb to 1,500 lbs in the specialized material as per our customers specs. Our values BSL Casting bases the foundation of our core values on the following pillars : Respect : We will respect the people (customers/employees/managers), the ideas and the environment. Integrity : We will be honest with the people in our company, our customers and our community. Equity : We will act in a righteous way on a daily basis within our company by recognizing everyone s contribution. Solidarity : We will be one within our organization in order to reach our goals and to protect our values. SPECTRUM OF MANUFACTURING : BSL Casting is a NO-BAKE niche sandcast foundry, specializing in the production of steel cast parts in low volume / small runs / high-mix as well as complex configuration parts. We also produce prototype parts and orders required urgent. BSL cast parts in the following alloys : All the carbon steels (mild steel) with the following standards : 1. ASTM A27 2. ASTM A ASTM A ASTM A ASTM A216 The above cast steels easily replace the A36 types of mild steels used from plates and bars by machine shops.

3 SPECTRUM OF MANUFACTURING :.. suite The low-alloy steels with the following standards : 1. ASTM A ASTM A ASTM A ASTM A AISI 8620 / AISI 8630 The above low-alloy steels replace 44W / 50W types of steel used in plates and bars by machine shops. BSL Casting can achieve a broad selection of physical properties required by the various industries with the right heat treatment and quench operations of the casting parts. As an example, certain alloys of the ASTM A217 & A487 standards are a perfect fit for steel casting parts used in pressure vessels high temperature environments. All the stainless steel alloys with the following standards : 1. AISI 300 & 400 (e.g. : AISI 316L / AISI 410, etc.); 2. ASTM A ASTM A ASTM A ASTM A ASTM A995 We also cast all the duplex stainless steel alloys. All the heat-resistant steel alloys with the ASTM A297 standard. All the abrasion resistant high-nickel or high-chrome iron alloys (with hardness ranging from 450 to 730 BHN) in the ASTM A532 standard. The selection of the Chrome-Moly and martensitic steel alloys mainly used for their impact resistance in the mining sector as well as in various industries. Standard manufacturing part dimensional capabilities: Maximum dimension of a round part : 48 outside diameter by 12 high; Maximum dimension of a rectangular or square part : 44 long by 24 wide by 12 high. NOTE : Upon certain factors we can cast certain parts larger than the above standard. Contact us in order to discuss your requirements. Weight capabilities: 1 lb to 1,500 2,000 lbs depending on dimensions stated above.

4 QUALITY : BSL CASTING produces steel cast parts upon the ASTM standards for all the alloys we cast at our foundry. Because we care about the quality of the parts we make, we discuss with our customers at the quotation stage about all the factors that may affect it. We do the same when a quality report is issued by the customer. Both human and technology factors have an impact on quality. We are aware that making cast quality parts on a consistant basis requires a commitment starting at the head management down to the workers in the foundry. We then constantly revise our processes in order to improve the control on the parameters affecting the quality of our steel cast parts. And this every time we have a feedback from both our customers and employees. INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS : BSL CASTING services many customers in a wide range of manufacturing industries across North-America. Our steel foundry is positioned as a solutions provider for our customers. As example of this is conversion of machined and weldment parts to steel castings, resulting in a combination of cost-reduction and greater standardization of the part s physical properties. Below are the main manufacturing sectors we serve:

5 Mining industry BSL CASTING management team totalizes many years of experience in the production of replacement wear cast parts for chutes and grinding mills located on mining sites as well as in crushing units. We cast alloys that offer: Impact resistance for chute and grinding mill liners; High abrasion resistance for chute and grinding mill liners; High corrosion resistant properties; Transportation Material We have positioned our company for the supply of steel casting sub-components required for the assemblies of off-road vehicules as well as railroad / metro cars, notably: In the machined and weldment parts conversion into steel castings; In the production of steel cast parts requiring finite element analysis to determine the right design and wall thickness; In retroengineering projects; In various alloys ranging from carbon, low-alloy to stainless steel materials; It is important to notify that BSL Casting was awarded in 2012 the contract to make 3 steel casting sub-components installed in the lower section of the Montreal subway cars AZUR supplied to the Société de Transport de Montréal. Pump & valves BSL CASTING has developped a solid base of customers in the pumps & valves manufacturing business. Our customers make pumps and valves for the gas & petroleum, mining as well as food industries. We have one customer who supplies the naval forces with valves and components for their ships and submarines. Types of parts we cast in the mild and stainless steels as well as wear-resistant irons: Cover; Casing; Separator / intermediate; Impeller; Valve;

6 Energy BSL CASTING produces steel casting parts for various companies whom generate, transmit and distribute electricity (as well as for their suppliers): required in the assembly of hydro-electric gates and dams; installed on power transmission lines; Biomass furnace steel cast components; The parts required for this market segment are cast in all types of steel alloys such as mild, low-alloy and stainless steels as well as the heat-resistant steel materials. Metallurgy industries BSL CASTING produces various steel cast parts for this industrial segment, such as: Lifting attachment casting components used in aluminum plants; Crusher tooth; Steel castings used in high-temperature molten metal; Wear-resistant material casting components to prevent quick wear by abrasion; Hydraulic & fabrication Many equipments components especially for forestry mechanized cutting systems as well as hydraulic leverage systems have special shapes and empty sections that are a perfect fit for the foundry process, such as: Hydraulic cylinder heads; Rotating heads; Retaining arms; Customized alloys in-line with the targeted mechanical properties;

7 Reverse ingineering BSL CASTING has participated to a certain number of projects for customers requiring our technical support to create steel cast parts from either one of the following original parts : old casting parts / machined parts / weldments. Please visit our website at com to find a couple reverse engineering projects we worked on with the support of qualified partners of BSL CASTING. Various industries BSL CASTING service many companies requiring the production of steel casting parts. Machine shops are a good example. Why? To use steel casting instead of a machined part when there is much lost of material when machining from a plate or a bar; To reduce the machining time by casting the part at the finished machined dimension with a slight stock allowance for machining; Steel castings are also used in many other types of industries, such as: Farm equipment manufacturers; Bearing and power transmission manufacturers; Equipment manufacturers for the pulp & paper industry; High-precision tooling manufacturers; Research & development as well as prototyping projects; Any company looking for a special steel grade that is not available at standard steel bar and plate suppliers; Whatever the manufacturing sector you are in, BSL CASTING can support you to determine which parts it will pay off to replace by casting parts. Our qualified staff will analyse your requirements and will propose the best solution to suit your needs in order to make the difference for you and your customer.
