Advantages & Disadvantages of Sand Casting

Sand casting takes advantage of sand's inherent compactability, refractory nature and recyclability to produce relatively inexpensive molds. Sand casting requires a relatively low investment and allows for quick tooling development and part changes at a reasonable cost. As a result, it's well suited for working through the evolution of designs and for lower volume production parts.

In RMC, we uses sand casting for parts made of grey iron, ductile iron, carbon steel, steel alloys or aluminium. Part weights can vary from tens of grams to hundreds of kilograms. The applications of sand casting parts range from small parts like gears, pulleys, connecting rods, brackets and propellers to large components such as pump components, pipeline parts, manifolds, engine blocks, cylinder heads and transmission cases.

We ensure our customers have the highest quality parts on time and on budget by providing full turn-key services, including assistance with design and material selection through heat treatment, machining, surface finishing, assembly and painting.

Apart from the green sand casting processes, we are also using other casting processes, such as pre-coated resin sand casting (hot shell and core molding) and furan resin sand casting.

Disadvantages of Sand Casting Process

Resin Sand Casting is one of the processes used by Castmetal Advanced Services to produce high quality parts for its customers. This technique is often used because it can produce intricately shaped parts with a high degree of precision and an excellent finish. It is an advanced technique that combines the advantages of traditional sand casting with the use of special resins to improve mould properties and produce complex finished parts with excellent dimensional accuracy. In this article, we take a detailed look at Resin Sand Casting and its benefits in the production of high-quality parts.

The company is the world’s best resin sand casting services supplier. We are your one-stop shop for all needs. Our staff are highly-specialized and will help you find the product you need.

How does the Resin Sand Casting process work?

The Resin Sand Casting process involves creating a mould from sand impregnated with epoxy resin. This resin is used to bind the grains of sand together, creating a strong, heat-resistant mould. This mould is then used to produce the part by pouring molten metal into it.

For what applications is Resin Sand Casting used?

The Resin Sand Casting process is used to produce a variety of parts in many sectors, including aerospace, the automotive industry, agriculture, food and pharmaceuticals. This technique is particularly suitable for the production of parts requiring a high level of precision and finish. It can be used to produce parts of all sizes, from the smallest to the largest.
