Casting for Large-Scale Production Precision Casting for Various Metals and Alloys Precision Casting Process
Casting is the process of pouring molten metal into a mold and cooling and solidifying to form parts, which is applicable to various metals and alloys. Casting has poor mechanical properties but is suitable for large-scale production.
Casting is the process of pouring molten metal or alloy into a pre-made mold, and then letting it cool and solidify to form metal parts of the desired shape and size. This process involves melting metal, preparing molds, pouring molten metal, cooling and solidifying, and demolding, which can produce parts with complex shapes.
Casting is applicable to various metals and alloys, including iron, steel, aluminum, copper, magnesium, etc.
Because the metal undergoes a transition from liquid to solid during the casting process, the internal structure of the casting is usually non-uniform, containing casting defects such as pores and inclusions, which may affect the mechanical properties of the material, and its mechanical properties are not as good as those of forged metals.
Casting is often used to manufacture parts with complex shapes, large sizes, and large quantities, such as automobile engine blocks, pipes, building structures, valve bodies, etc.
The cost of casting is relatively low and suitable for large-scale production.
