Commonly known as sand casting, this manufacturing process is a versatile method for creating metal components. The industry may also refer to it as sand molded casting.
The casting capacity of Welle manufacturers including process, material, weight and size is listed as follows:
✧ Casting Process: Sand Casting, Vacuum Casting, Investment Casting, Centrifugal casting, Lost Foam Casting, Sand Casting, Die Casting, CNC Machining, NDT (Non-Destructive testing), Heat-treatment, Welding.
✧ Casting Material: Nickel-Base Alloys, Alloy Steel, Inconel Alloy, Stainless Steel, Copper, Bronze, Aluminum Series, Cast Iron, SG Iron, other materials are available upon request.
✧ Casting Weight: 0.02kg – 2,000kg
✧ Size: 5mm – 3000mm
Process:
- Pattern Creation: A pattern, often made of wood or metal, is formed to create the cavity in the sand mold.
- Mold Preparation: The pattern is pressed into sand to form the mold, which is then prepared for casting.
- Pouring: Molten metal is poured into the sand mold.
- Cooling and Solidification: The metal cools and solidifies within the mold.
- Mold Break: The sand mold is broken away to reveal the cast metal part.
Materials: Various metals, such as iron, steel, aluminum, and copper alloys, can be used in sand casting.
Quality Requirements: Quality control involves inspecting the casting for defects, ensuring dimensional accuracy, and verifying material integrity.
Applications: Sand casting is widely used for producing a diverse range of parts, from small components to large, intricate structures. Common applications include automotive components, machine parts, and ornamental pieces.
Industries:
- Automotive: Engine components, transmission parts, and chassis elements.
- Heavy Machinery: Industrial equipment, agricultural machinery, and construction components.
- Art and Decoration: Sculptures, artistic pieces, and ornamental items.
Post-2024 Market Trends: Anticipated trends post-2024 include increased utilization of sustainable casting materials, further automation in the casting process for efficiency, and ongoing innovations in mold design and sand recycling methods to minimize environmental impact. The market may also witness expanded applications in aerospace and renewable energy sectors due to evolving material capabilities.
