ABOUT US 

QUALITY CONTROL

It's present everywhere.  In our production and testing procedures we follow and use ASTM standards.  We have a full range of instruments for the accurate testing of incoming raw materials through to the making of final checks on finished products.  To guarantee our customer's complete satisfaction, we integrate quality control into everything we do.

SOLDERS

G.A. Avril soft solders are made in many different alloys for hand and automated applications, for use in all types of dip and wave soldering.  The products are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and weights... ingot, ribbon, wire, bar, acid core and rosin core.  Any alloy specified by the customer can be provided in almost any of these forms.

Rigid quality control is employed beginning with the selection of only the highest grade materials.  Each lot is subjected to exacting laboratory testing prior to manufacturing and during each step of the manufacturing process.  The quality standards are unmatched within the industry.

BEARING METALS

The unusual and critical in-service requirements on bearing metals demands a need for scientific formulation of alloys and strict adherence to the user's specifications.

For many years, industry has looked to The G.A. Avril Company as a prime source to custom alloy tin base babbitt and lead based babbitt for virtually every need. This in-depth experience has permitted the company to establish formulas for three distinctly different grades of bearing metal.  These are made of the best grades of refined new materials and alloyed with care and precision.  They have the necessary physical properties of long life, low coefficient of friction, uniform hardness and uniform structure.  Designed to fill almost all industrial requirements, their in-stock availability can reduce bearing metal costs in large and small plants alike. 

ANODES

G.A. Avril anodes are made from pure tin, lead and various lead/tin alloys.  Used extensively in the plating industry, Avril anodes are noted for their fine grain structure to assure smooth, uniform plating of the workpiece.  Available from stock in the most widely used formulations, in extruded or cast form, and in a variety of shapes and sizes.  Other alloys can be supplied upon the customer's request.

ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS 

With equal concern for and attention to the selection of raw materials, manufacturing, fabrication and service, G.A. Avril makes available many widely used and specialty White Metal Products, including:  Lead Sleeving; Wire; Custom Castings; Came; Sheet Lead and Roof Flashings.
