Material forming method is an important aspect of metal part design, a crucial factor in the manufacturing process, and a matter of great concern for manufacturers. Today, we will take a look at various metal-forming processes. Metal Casting 1.1 What is a casting process? The production
A fire-resistant ceramic material is placed over the surface of the wax pattern to form a shell, and once it hardens, the inside of the shell forms the shape of the desired casting. The wax is then thawed and drained out from the shell, and the cavity is going to be filled
Sand casting, investment casting (lost wax casting), and pressure casting are three of the most popular and widely used casting methods. Most metal casting parts commonly used in various industries are made by one of these three processes. This article will introduce these three most common casting processes one by one.
The Difference between cast steel and cast iron Cast iron and cast steel are both iron-carbon alloys. However, cast steel and cast iron have different metallurgical structures after crystallization due to the different percentages of chemical elements such as carbon, silicon, manganese, phosphorus, and sulfur. Generally, in actual work, we call iron when
The sand casting process is a casting method in which sand is the primary modeling material used to prepare the mold. And it is a traditional casting method. We can refer to the definition of sand casting through Wikipedia. Due to the advantages of not being limited by the shape, size, complexity, and alloy
Definition of the casting process Metal casting is a production method in which molten metal is poured into a cavity with a shape and size appropriate to the workpiece and left to cool and solidify to obtain a blank or part. Different metal casting processes The most common
Low-pressure Casting Low-pressure casting is generally powered by compressed air, either air or inert gas. The air passes into the closed vessel (crucible) and acts on the surface of the molten metal alloy that maintains a specific pouring temperature. And it causes a pressure difference between the sealed vessel and the mold's cavity.
Iron Casting – White iron and Gray iron castings White iron and gray iron are two ordinary cast iron, so what is the difference between these two materials? This article will introduce these two types of cast iron materials from several aspects, such as appearance, characteristics, and applications. Appearance
