Everything you need to know about Casting Industry
The casting industry is the technology of manufacturing products by pouring liquid material into a mold to create a product shaped like a mold. The majority is done with metallic materials.
The casting industry is divided into two main categories:
- Conventional casting (sand molding method)
- Special casting (metal casting method)
Application: Casting production is developed very strongly and is used very widely in industries, the average casting volume is about 40-80% of the total weight of machinery in the mechanical industry, the casting volume accounts for 90% and the price only accounts for 20-25%.
Advantages:
- The casting industry can process many different materials: steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys … weighing a few grams to several hundred tons.
- Able to manufacture castings with complex shapes and structures such as engine shell machine coal … that are difficult or impossible to fabricate by conventional methods.
- High shape, size and gloss accuracy
- It is possible to cast many different metal layers in one casting.
- Casting costs are cheap because of the small investment capital, flexible production properties, and relatively high productivity.
Disadvantages:
- The classical casting accuracy in terms of shape, size, and gloss is usually not high.
- In addition, this industry is susceptible to defects such as shortages, and gas pitting, which leads to defect testing requiring relatively expensive and modern equipment.
