What is Sand Casting? how is sand casting process?

The liquid metal is poured into a mold cavity adapted to the shape and size of the part, and is cooled and solidified to obtain a production method of the blank or the part, which is generally called metal liquid forming or sand casting. like; Gravity casting and Die casting

Sand casting: A casting method for producing casting parts in a sand mold. Steel, iron and most non-ferrous alloy castings can be obtained by sand casting process.

Sand Casting Application

As a China Aluminium sand casting manufacturers, the sand casting part we produced manily used on Automotive,Automotive engine cylinder block, cylinder head, crankshaft and other castings, large equipment base. Industrial Machine, Thickness wall or very Heavy base and so on

advantages and disadvantages of sand casting

Advantages:

Sand casting is very old traditional manufacturing process, Suitable for making complex shapes, especially those with complicated internal cavity shape.Adaptability, the type of alloy is not limited, the casting products size is almost unlimited.

A wide range of materials, scrap can be remelted, Sand casting machine investment is low.For some materials with poor plasticity, such as cast iron, sand casting is the only forming process for making parts or blanks.

Disadvantages:

High scrap rate, low surface quality and poor working conditions.
