What are the types of casting molds
Casting molds refer to molds used in the casting process, which are tools used to manufacture various metal products. According to different casting methods and product requirements, casting molds can be divided into various types.
The first is sand casting molds. Sand casting is the most common method in the casting process, which uses sand molds as molds. Sand casting molds can be divided into two types: wet sand mold and dry sand mold. Wet sand mold is made of wet sand and is commonly used in the manufacturing of large castings; Dry sand molds are made of dry sand and are commonly used in the manufacturing of small castings.
Next is the metal mold casting mold. Metal mold casting is a high-precision casting method that uses metal molds as molds. Metal mold casting molds can be divided into two types: permanent metal mold and temporary metal mold. The permanent metal mold is made of refractory material and can be reused; Temporary metal molds are made of low melting point metal and are used to manufacture castings with complex shapes.
In addition, there are wax casting molds. Wax mold casting is a precision casting method that uses wax molds as molds. Wax casting molds are made of wax molds. First, the wax molds are heated and melted, and then molten metal is poured. After the metal cools and solidifies, the wax molds are melted and taken out to obtain the required castings.
Finally, there is a die-casting mold. Die casting is an efficient casting method that uses die casting molds for pressure casting. Die casting molds are made of metal materials with high strength and wear resistance. Die casting molds are commonly used to manufacture high-precision, large-scale castings, such as automotive parts, electronic product casings, etc.
In summary, casting molds can be divided into various types based on different casting methods and product requirements, such as sand casting molds, metal casting molds, wax casting molds, and die casting molds. They play a crucial role in the casting process and provide important support for the manufacturing of various metal products.
