SAND CASTING

Sand Casting
In this process, sand mixed with binder and water is compacted around wood or metal pattern halves to produce a mould. The mould is removed from the pattern, assembled with cores, if necessary, and metal is poured into the resultant cavities. After cooling, moulds are broken to remove the castings. This process is suitable for a wide range of metals (both ferrous and non-ferrous), sizes and shape complexity
