What is Sand Casting?
Sand casting is a metal casting process which involves the use of natural sand along with an adequate proportion of clay (as a binder material) to keep the sand grains together. Using expandable sand moulds, sand casting is utilised to produce a wide variety of metal components with complex geometries. These parts can vary greatly in size and weight, ranging from a couple ounces to several tonnes.
It is used for a wide range of applications, including auto-mobile components, such as engine blocks, engine manifolds, cylinder heads, and transmission cases. Contact Alliance Connect for superior sand casting parts!
