Industrial Castings

US industrial castings demand will reach $35 billion in 2011 supported by gains in smaller markets such as aerospace and electrical/electronic equipment. Shipments of nonferrous types will accelerate, led by magnesium-based castings. Ferrous castings will continue to lose market share to nonferrous| both in value and tonnage.
