It assists in the creation of proposals, anticipating demand, analyzing capacity, analyzing overall costs, refilling stocks, and assessing availability.
The structural design of a casting is always closely linked to the casting process and the amount of work involved.
Tool and die manufacturing in sand casting involves the skilled fabrication of intricate molds and dies, essential for producing precise and high-quality casted components, ensuring accuracy and repeatability in the casting process.
Core making is the process which forms the interior part of the casting. The mould provides a space for the molten metal to go, while the core keeps the metal from filling the entire space.
Casting is the act of pouring liquid material into the cavity of a mold. After a period of time, this liquid will cure via chemical reaction or cooling.
It involves heating the casting, under pressure in the presence of an inert gas (usually Argon). This helps remove porosity from the casting, improves mechanical properties, and offers a lower cost route to high performance castings.
Machining is used to introduce features that cannot be produced during the casting process. This is due to the very small tolerances of the design dimensions.
Casting inspection methods are in place to ensure any hidden defects are identified during the manufacturing process.
