Sand Casting
What Is Sand Casting ?
Sand casting is a metal casting process where molten metal is poured into a sand mold cavity to create parts. A pattern, made of wood, metal, or plastic, is placed inside a flask and surrounded by sand. After compacting the sand around the pattern, molten metal is poured in, filling the cavity. Once cooled, the sand mold is broken away, revealing the metal casting.
Sand casting is widely used due to its versatility and cost-effectiveness, suitable for producing parts of various sizes and shapes in industries like automotive and aerospace.
The Sand Casting Process
Sand Casting Materials
Sand casting is a versatile process that can accommodate a wide range of metals and alloys. Some common materials used in sand casting include:
✔ Gray Iron (Cast Iron)
✔ Ductile Iron
✔ Steel
✔ Aluminum
✔ Brass
✔ Bronze
✔ Magnesium
✔ Zinc
These are just a few examples of sand casting materials that we often use in the casting process. The choice of material depends on factors such as mechanical properties, cost, application requirements, and environmental considerations. We accept your other material customization needs.
