Sand Casting: Most Commonly Used Alloys & Benefits
Sand casting, also called sand mold casting, is the process of metal casting in which molten metal alloys are poured into molds made of sand. It is deemed as one of the most economical procedures to fabricate nonferrous and ferrous parts.
De-Gassing Aluminum For Sand Casting Process
Molten aluminum is highly reactive, and therefore when it comes into contact with moist air or wet tools during the sand casting process, it forms hydrogen gas in the melt.
Improving the Sand Casting Process with 3D Printing
A Sand Mold Casting Foundry is where “metal” castings are made. Sand casting is the process through which molten metal alloys are poured into molds made from sand. It is one of the most cost-effective casting processes used to manufacture ferrous & nonferrous parts. Aluminum, Copper and Stainless Steel are the alloys used in the sand casting foundry @ Gamma Foundries Inc.
Advancement in technology has helped the Sand Mold Casting industry. A perfect example is the technological advancements in the casting process that has allowed for sand molds, and sand cores to be made utilizing 3-D printing technology.
Sand Mold Casting is used for a wide range of industries and an even wider scope of applications from Commercial to Military, Naval, and Aerospace. Through the utilization of 3D printers in the casting process Gamma Foundries Inc. has the ability to offer shorter lead time for prototypes, and also allowing for the opportunity to manufacture complex geometrical castings.
