Casting
Product Description
Casting is a manufacturing process where liquid metal is poured into a mold and allowed to cool and solidify into a specific shape.it has mainly three types.
Die casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is injected under high pressure into a steel mold (die) to produce precise and high-quality metal parts. Common metals include aluminum, zinc, and magnesium.
Sand casting is a process where molten metal is poured into a sand mold and allowed to solidify. The sand mold can be reused or destroyed after casting.
Investment casting involves creating a wax model, coating it with ceramic or refractory material to form a mold, then melting the wax away and pouring molten metal into the mold.
Casting Type | Key Features | Main Advantages | Typical Applications |
Die Casting | High-pressure metal injection into steel mold; precise & repeatable | - Excellent dimensional accuracy | Automotive (engine, gearbox) |
Sand Casting | Molten metal poured into sand mold; mold broken after solidification | - Large or heavy parts possible | Engine blocks |
Investment Casting | Wax pattern coated with ceramic; wax melted away; molten metal poure | - High precision & surface finish | Aerospace (turbines, brackets) |
Advantages
1. Complex Shapes
Casting can create intricate and detailed geometries that are difficult or impossible to achieve with machining or fabrication.
2. Wide Material Options
Works with many metals and alloys, including aluminum, steel, iron, zinc, copper, and magnesium.
3. Cost-Effective Production
Ideal for both small batches and mass production. Tooling costs are balanced by efficient large-scale manufacturing.
4. Excellent Material Utilization
Minimal waste, as molten metal fills the mold directly.
5. High Strength and Durability
Cast parts can achieve strong mechanical properties and long service life.
6. Size Flexibility
Supports production of very small components to very large, heavy parts.
7. Good Surface Finish
Processes like die casting and investment casting can produce smooth surfaces with minimal post-processing.
