What is sand casting?

November 18, 2024

Sand casting is a casting method that sand is used as the main modeling material, and the metal liquid is poured by preparing sand, so as to obtain castings.


>>Classification:

Clay sand casting: the roughest surface, low precision, the lowest cost;Often used in some simple parts, wear-resistant parts and other requirements are not high, or follow-up processing can meet the conditions of the product;

Resin sand casting: the surface is rough, low precision, the cost is higher than clay sand, but the advantage is hard shell, suitable for large pieces; Slightly lower efficiency;

Coated sand casting: the surface is better, the accuracy is better than the former two, the efficiency is high, the degree of mechanization is high, and it is suitable for the production of large quantities of parts.


>>General characteristics: 

low cost, low precision, suitable range for low-end basic products


>>Suitable materials:

1. Aluminum alloy: do more low-end products, or need to add sand core molding difficult products, but the wall thickness of more than 4mm;

2. Ductile iron, gray iron;These two materials are the most applicable;

3. Carbon steel, stainless steel, or alloy steel, with processing requirements;

4. Copper, bronze or other alloy materials or non-ferrous metals
