As reported by Foundry Planet in the article “Sand Casting Process Sets New Standard in Heavy Iron Casting,” recent advancements in sand casting are transforming the way heavy iron parts are manufactured. Originally celebrated for aluminum casting in automotive applications, the technology has now expanded to high-performance iron castings, including cylinder blocks, heads, and even truck axle housings.
At the forefront of this evolution is the Core Package System, a technique that constructs the entire mold using a set of individual sand cores, including integrated running and feeding systems. This approach allows for:
- High design flexibility
- Excellent surface finish and dimensional accuracy
- The production of geometrically complex parts
