More about casting

Casting is one of the hot-working craft of metal, and it has approximately 6000 years’ history. Casting include two steps, firstly, put melt solid metal into liquid metal; secondly, add it into the casting mould with particular shape, and wait the liquid metal is solidified and formed.

Advantages:

1. Apply for intricately shaped components manufacture, especially for the rough casting with complicated cavities.
2. Resource of raw materials is wide and low-cost, such as scrap steel, waste parts and smear metal.
3. The shape and size if casting is much closed to parts reduce the cutting processing.
4. Wide applications, 40%-70% of agricultural machineries and 70%-80% of machine tool are all casting parts.

Disadvantages:

1. The mechanical property of casting is worse than forging piece, for example, coarse structure and more defects.
2. In the sand casting, the most production is single piece or small-scale processing, high labor intensity.
3. The casting has unstable quality, multi process, and it is easy to produce defects.
