Advantages of the Sand Casting Process
- Sand castings impose few restrictions on product shape: The only significant exceptions are the draft angles that are always needed on flat surfaces oriented perpendicular to the parting line. With good patterns and tooling, the proper choice of molding sands and careful foundry practice, surprisingly intricate details can be reproduced in this manufacturing process with a variety of metal alloys.
- Dimensional control and consistency: Dimensional control and consistency in sand castings ranges from about ±0.030 to ±0.125” (± 0.8 to 3.2 mm) depending on the size and design of the parts. Within this tolerance range, the more generous tolerances apply across the parting line.
- Surface finish ranges between approximately 300 and 500 gin (7.7 - 12.9 gm) rms: Various surface finishes on sand castings can be achieved and they are: machine finish, shot blast, painted (hand, spray and dipped), powder coated, plated (chrome, tin and others), acid etching, anodizing, galvanizing and various other unique polyamide durable coatings such as Rilsan.
- Sand castings are relatively inexpensive compared to other manufacturing processes: The process is quite simple and most any metals can be used. Parts can be supplied as is or completely machined and coated.
- Sand castings are acceptably precise and above all, highly versatile: This process can be applied to simple shapes as well as castings of considerable complexity, and it can be used with all metals such as aluminum, cast iron, ductile iron, copper alloys (brass, coppers and bronzes), steel alloys, stainless alloys, and other complex metals.
