Our Casting Services
Sand casting
Sand casting is a traditional casting process that uses sand as the main molding material to make castings. Sand molds are generally cast by gravity, and low-pressure casting, centrifugal casting and other processes can also be used when there are special requirements. Sand casting has a wide adaptability and can be used for small, large, simple, complex, single and large quantities.
Permanent mold casting
Metal mold casting has a long life and high production efficiency. It not only has good dimensional accuracy and smooth surface, but also has higher strength than sand casting, and is not easy to break when pouring the same molten metal. Therefore, in the mass production of medium and small non-ferrous metal castings, as long as the melting point of the casting material is not too high, metal mold casting is generally preferred.
Investment casting
The biggest advantage of investment casting is that due to the high dimensional accuracy and high surface finish of investment castings, the workload of mechanical processing can be reduced, but a small amount of mechanical processing allowance should be reserved for parts with higher requirements. It can be seen that the use of investment casting method can save a lot of machine tools and processing time, and greatly save metal raw materials.
Lost Foam Casting
Lost foam casting is a method of combining paraffin or foam models with similar size and shape to the casting into a model cluster, brushing refractory paint and drying, and then burying them in dry quartz sand for vibration molding. Pouring under negative pressure conditions makes the model gasified, and the liquid metal occupies the position of the model. After solidification and cooling, a new casting method is formed.
Die casting
Die casting is a metal casting process characterized by applying high pressure to the molten metal using the mold cavity. The mold is usually made of high-strength alloys, and the process is somewhat similar to injection molding. Most die castings do not contain iron, such as zinc, copper, aluminum, magnesium, lead, tin, and lead-tin alloys and their alloys.
Centrifugal casting
Centrifugal casting is a technology and method of injecting liquid metal into a high-speed rotating mold, causing the liquid metal to move centrifugally to fill the mold and form a casting. Due to the effect of centrifugal motion, the liquid metal can fill the mold well in the radial direction and form the free surface of the casting; it affects the crystallization process of the metal, thereby improving the mechanical and physical properties of the casting.
Low-pressure casting
Low-pressure casting refers to a casting method in which the mold is generally placed above a sealed crucible, compressed air is introduced into the crucible, and low pressure (0.06-0.15MPa) is generated on the surface of the molten metal, so that the molten metal rises from the riser tube to fill the mold and control solidification. This casting method has good shrinkage compensation, dense structure, easy casting of large thin-walled complex castings, no riser, and a metal recovery rate of more than 95%. No pollution, easy to automate.
Vacuum casting
Vacuum casting is a casting process for melting, pouring, and crystallizing metal in a vacuum chamber. Vacuum casting can minimize the gas content in the metal and prevent metal oxidation. This method can produce extremely demanding special alloy steel castings and extremely easy to oxidize titanium alloy castings.
The Rise of Die Casting for Consumer Products
The future of manufacturing is always changing, and die casting is becoming an increasingly popular choice for the consumer goods industry. This manufacturing method has proven to be cost-effective, efficient, and versatile, making it an ideal choice for many businesses looking to produce consumer goods products quickly and efficiently. Die casting is known for its ability to produce large quantities of high-quality, precision parts. This makes it ideal for the consumer goods industry, where batch production is key.
From electronics to home appliances. This casting method is a fast and automated process that can produce a large number of parts in a short period of time. The fast turnaround time of this method is not only cost-effective, but it also ensures consistent quality for all parts produced.
The growing demand for environmentally friendly manufacturing techniques has driven the development of die casting. Compared to other manufacturing techniques, die casting produces minimal waste and consumes less energy, making it a more sustainable choice for the future.
