Sand casting is the most widely used metal casting process in manufacturing. Almost all casting metals can be sand cast. Sand castings can range in size from very small to extremely large. Some examples of items manufactured in modern industry by sand casting processes are engine blocks, machine tool bases, cylinder heads, pump housings, and […]

What is Sand Casting? Sand casting is the most versatile among the manufacturing methods and gives the Engineers the freedom to design complex parts from unlimited number of metals and alloys. Sand casting is a manufacturing process where the molten metal is poured into the expendable sand mold cavity either by gravity or by force, where […]

The green sand casting process is the most widely-used process for casting ferrous and nonferrous metals. The process has evolved from a manually intensive operation to a highly mechanized and fully automated process that can produce more than 300 molds per hour. In terms of weight, complexity and alloy composition, a wide range of castings […]

The general sources of receiving molding sands are the sea shores, rivers, lakes, deserts and granular elements of rocks.Molding sands can be classified mainly into two types namely natural or synthetic.Natural molding sands contains sufficient amount of binder material. Whereas synthetic molding sands are prepared artificially using basic sand molding constituents (silica sand in 85-91%, binder […]

Sometimes, we believe that foundries are more or less similar. Reality demonstrates precisely the opposite. Dozens are the technical “distinctions” that allow differentiating a casting plant from another. precisely in the ambit of these differences, either small or big at first sight, we should research those technological advantages able to transform a process into efficient and up-to-date.
