What Do I Need To Start Sand Casting?
Many friends are interested in sand casting and often ask: "I want to start making sand casting, what do I need to prepare?" It sounds complicated, but it's not that mysterious.
You only need to prepare a few basic things: molds, molding sand, binders, casting equipment (such as furnaces), metal raw materials and some conventional tools, such as brushes, spoons, compactors, etc. If it is a small workshop that has just started, it can also be operated manually. Of course, if it is large-scale production, it will require the use of automated equipment, such as molding machines, sand mixers, pouring systems and cleaning equipment.
The mold determines the shape of our castings, which can generally be made of wood, aluminum alloy or resin materials. Molding sand is the key. It must be able to form and withstand high temperatures. We often use silica sand with a specific proportion of binder, so that sand casting will come out clear and not collapse. Doesn't sand casting sound that complicated? In fact, we have been doing sand casting for decades, and we have always felt that this is a technology and an art.
Fuding Factory has long produced various types of sand casting products, ranging from small and medium-sized complex structural parts to large-volume mechanical basic parts. We can make pump bodies, valves, wheels, engine cases, agricultural machinery parts, power equipment brackets, etc. Moreover, we can not only provide sand casting, but also provide a complete set of services such as subsequent machining, heat treatment, surface treatment, etc., so that customers can take it back as finished products, which is very convenient!
How is our casting ability? We have our own molding workshop, smelting workshop, precision measuring equipment and quality inspection team. Sand casting uses advanced resin sand, coated sand, and wet sand molding technology. Whether you need high dimensional accuracy, complex internal structure, or strong wear resistance, we can do it. Every sand casting we produce has gone through spectral analysis, metallographic testing, ultrasonic testing and other processes to ensure that the finished product meets the standards and will not have pores, cracks and other headaches.
Some customers said that they used to think that sand casting was prone to large errors and a lot of rework in the later stage. Since cooperating with us, they found that sand casting can be very stable if the process is properly controlled. Our engineers will also analyze drawings and optimize processes with customers to make castings easier to produce, lower costs and better quality.
If you are planning to start a sand casting project, whether you are trying a small batch trial production for the first time or a large-scale cooperation that requires long-term stable supply, we are happy to provide support. You can get comprehensive information from us on mold development, material selection, production scheduling, casting solutions, etc. You can also place a sample order to test the effect first and confirm the quality before cooperation. There is no pressure at all.
Feel free to contact us at any time to talk about your casting needs, or come to our factory to take a look. Our sand casting team is always waiting for you to turn the metal parts in your mind into reality!
