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.
