Stainless Steel Sand Casting

Sand casting (sometimes called sand mold casting) is a technology that has existed for thousands of years and is a preferred metal casting process to produce shaped parts that weigh from less than a pound to thousands of pounds. Sand casting is versatile and cost-effective for low volumes because of low tooling costs. Nearly any part configuration made using another metal casting process can be reduced to a pattern and created as a sand casting.

You will get efficient and thoughtful service from youzhen.

In sand casting, a pattern of the desired finished part, including the metal delivery system (gates and risers), is constructed out of hardwood, urethane, metal, or foam. Sand containing bonding material to maintain shape is packed around the pattern. The pattern is then removed from the bonded sand, leaving a cavity in the sand mold in the shape of the part. Molten liquid metal is poured into the cavity, and the metal solidifies. The sand is then removed through a shakeout process. Other cast attachments including the metal delivery system are removed, leaving the desired part.

MetalTek uses the air set or no-bake molding process. Sand is chemically bonded to create a tighter bond and doesn&#;t require a heat source to solidify the no-bake mold. This is especially important for large or more intricate metal parts.

Internal passageways including intricate structures can be included in sand casting by adding cores. This makes sand casting a popular choice for pump and valve applications. Sand castings are typically at least partially machined before use, due to rougher surface finishes.

Sand castings can be readily produced in nearly any ferrous or non-ferrous alloy. We primarily pour ferrous alloys like stainless steel. If your project requires stainless steel sand castings, please contact us today. If you require sand castings in a non-ferrous alloy, we will evaluate the project to determine if MetalTek is a good fit.

MetalTek produces sand castings up to 15 ft. (4.6 m) linear with ship weight up to 18,000 lbs. (8,165 kg).
