One big advantage of investment casting is that it can allow for undercuts in the pattern, while sand casting does not. In sand casting, the pattern needs to be pulled out of the sand after it is packed, whereas in investment casting ...

The metal components required for industrial use today are formed using many divergent technologies, such as casting, forging, and machining.

Nodular cast iron obtains nodular graphite through spheroidization and inoculation treatment, which effectively improves the mechanical properties of the cast iron, especially the plasticity and toughness, so as to obtain higher streng...

In engineering technology, an engineering drawing used for engineering or product manufacturing drawn according to a geometric projection method, referred to as drawing. In casting production, the process department of a foundry com...

Foundry coatings can be thought of as paints especially developed for the metal casting industry. The difference between conventional paints and a foundry coating is that the foundry coating is designed to withstand the high temperatu...

If the casting drawing or casting process document clearly requires inspection of all dimensions of the casting, all casting dimensions need to be inspected.

The purpose of the sprue is to provide a channel for molten metal alloy to reach the mould once the wax has been burnt. The sprues are generally made of wax. The diameter and the length of the sprue depend largely on the size and ...

The lost wax casting process is widely used as it offers asymmetrical casting with very fine details to be manufactured relatively inexpensively. The process involves producing a metal casting using a refractory mould made from ...

Investment casting, also known as the lost-wax process, is one of the oldest metal-forming techniques, spanning the last 5,000 years. The investment casting process begins with injecting engineered wax into high precision dies or w...

Die Casting Aluminium Alloy Chemical Composition

Here in this article we would like to introduce some factors we should think about when we choose different casting processes for cast iron materials. To select the right and suitable casting processes made by cast iron will help...

Resin sand is the molding sand (or core sand) prepared with resin as a binder. The use of resin as a binder for moulding sand is a major change in the sand casting process. Since the advent of this method, it has attracted the atten...
