Description
Sand casting is a widely used industrial manufacturing process for creating metal components and parts. In this method, a mold is formed by packing sand around a pattern that represents the desired shape of the final product. Molten metal is then poured into the mold, which solidifies and takes the shape of the pattern. Sand casting offers versatility, cost-effectiveness, and the ability to produce both simple and complex parts, making it suitable for various industrial applications. Commonly used metals in sand casting include iron, steel, aluminum, and brass. Industries such as automotive, aerospace, machinery, and construction rely on sand casting for manufacturing a wide range of components, including engine blocks, gearboxes, pipe fittings, and other custom parts. The process’s flexibility and adaptability to different metal alloys and shapes have made sand casting a fundamental method for producing industrial components efficiently and economically.
