Casting Services & Parts Supplier

There are many types of casting, including die casting, sand casting, metal casting, injection molding, and more.

What is casting?

Casting is a process in which metal is smelted into a liquid that meets certain requirements and poured into a mold. After cooling, solidification, and cleaning, a casting with a predetermined shape, size, and performance is obtained. Because the casting blank is almost in shape, it eliminates the need for mechanical processing or a small amount of processing, reduces costs and reduces production time to a certain extent. Casting is one of the basic processes in the modern device manufacturing industry.

Advantages of casting

1. Can produce parts with complex shapes, especially blanks with complex inner cavities.

2. Wide adaptability, all metal materials commonly used in industry can be cast, ranging from a few grams to hundreds of tons.

3. Raw materials have wide sources and low prices.

4. The shape and size of the casting are very close to the parts, which reduces the cutting amount and is a non-cutting process.

How Does Casting Work?

Casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal or other materials are poured into a mold and then cooled to solidify into shape. The casting operation generally includes the following steps:

1. Design the mold: First, you need to design the mold for the parts to be cast. The mold can be single or multi-cavity. Choose the appropriate mold according to your needs.

2. Prepare raw materials: Select a suitable metal or other material and melt it into a liquid state, usually in a high-temperature furnace.

3. Pour into the mold: Pour the molten metal or other materials into the prepared mold to ensure that the entire mold cavity is filled.

4. Cooling and solidification: After the metal or other materials fill the mold, cooling and solidification begins. The solidification process can usually be accelerated through natural cooling or water cooling.

5. Take out the finished product: After the finished product is completely solidified, take it out of the mold and perform subsequent processing, such as removing remaining material, surface treatment, etc.
