    Sand casting refers to the casting method of producing castings in sand mold. Steel, iron and most nonferrous alloy castings can be obtained by sand casting. Because the molding materials used in sand casting are cheap and easy to obtain, the casting is simple to manufacture, and can adapt to the single production, batch production and mass production of castings, it has been the basic process in casting production for a long time.

    Depending on the pressure, there are two types of die casting: low pressure casting and high pressure die casting. High pressure die casting is more suitable for mass production of complex geometric shapes requiring high precision. For the production of large and simple parts, low pressure casting is the preferred casting process.In this type of metal casting, non-ferrous metals and alloys such as zinc, tin, copper and aluminum are injected under high pressure into reusable molds coated with lubricants.

    The gypsum casting process is similar to sand casting, except that the mold is made from a mixture called "plaster of Paris." Due to the low thermal conductivity and heat capacity of gypsum, it cools the metal more slowly than sand, which helps to obtain high accuracy, especially for thin-section parts.

    Shell molding is a expendable mold casting process. It is similar to the sand casting process, except that the hardened sand shell forms a cavity instead of a sand box. The sand used is finer than that used in sand mold casting and is mixed with resin so that it can be heat treated and hardened into the shell around the model.

Casting

 

Casting refers to the process of obtaining metal-formed objects through various casting methods. Specifically, the molten metal is introduced into a pre-prepared mold by pouring, pressing, suction or other casting techniques. Subsequent processing such as grinding after cooling is conducted to obtain objects with specific shapes, sizes and performance characteristics. The utilization of casting is extensive and has been widely applied in hardware as well as the entire mechanical and electronic industry, indicating a growing trend in its application.
