Sand Casting Service

Sand Casting is a traditional metal casting process that involves creating a mold from compacted sand, then pouring molten metal into the cavity to form a desired shape.

Once the metal solidifies, the sand mold is broken apart to remove the final casting.

DEZE Technology provides a variety of casting services, and users can choose the appropriate casting process according to their needs.

If you don’t know which casting method is more suitable for your product, please contact us and our professional engineers will help you.

Detailed Steps of Sand Casting

Nyieun Pola

1. Nyieun Pola

A pattern is a replica of the final part, slightly oversized to account for metal shrinkage during cooling.

It is usually made from wood, palastik, atawa logam.

  • Tujuan: To create the mold cavity in the sand.
  • Jenis: Split pattern (for complex parts), match-plate pattern, or cope-and-drag patterns.
  • Shrinkage allowance: Typically 1–3% depending on the metal.
Centuk

2. Centuk

The pattern is placed inside a molding box (flasas), jeung sand mixed with a binder (like clay or resin) is packed around it.

The mold is made in two halves:

  • Cope (top half) jeung Drag (bottom half).
  • The pattern is removed, leaving a cavity in the shape of the part.
  • If required, cores are inserted into the mold to form internal features or hollow sections.
Core-Making

3. Inti Nyieun (If Applicable)

Cores are sand shapes inserted into the mold to form internal cavities in the casting.

  • Made from core sand, which is more durable and heat-resistant.
  • They must be accurately placed and often supported with chaplets (metal spacers).
  • Cores are removed after casting, usually broken out and discarded.
Metal Melting and Pouring

4. Metal Melting and Pouring

Molten metal is prepared in a furnace and poured into the mold through a sprue jeung runner system.

  • The system includes gener (to direct flow), risers (to compensate for shrinkage), jeung vents (to let gases escape).
  • Metals used: beusi tuang, alumunium, waja, perunggu, jsb.
  • Care is taken to avoid turbulence, gas entrapment, and inclusions during pouring.
Cooling sarta Solidification

5. Cooling sarta Solidification

After pouring, the metal is allowed to cool and solidify inside the mold.

  • Cooling rates affect grain structure and mechanical properties.
  • Proper riser design ensures that metal shrinkage is compensated to avoid internal voids.
  • The solidification time depends on part thickness and metal type.
Shakeout and Mold Removal

6. Shakeout and Mold Removal

Once the metal has cooled, the sand mold is broken apart to retrieve the solid casting.

  • This step is called ngagem.
  • The sand can often be recycled after cooling and screening.
  • The casting is rough at this point and may have residual sand or oxide layers.
Beberesih jeung Finishing

7. Beberesih jeung Finishing

Excess material such as sprues, risers, and flash are removed by cutting or grinding.

  • The surface may be ngaberesihkeun by shot blasting, tumbling, or pickling.
  • Permesinan is performed as needed to achieve final tolerances.
  • Surface treatments or coatings (misalna., lukisan, ngagosok) tiasa diterapkeun.

What materials are used in sand casting?

Sand casting supports a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The choice depends on the desired mechanical properties, lalawanan korosi, beurat, jeung ongkos.

Nearly any metal can be sand-cast, including ferrous alloys (gray and ductile iron, carbon and alloy steels) and non-ferrous alloys (alumunium, perunggu, kuningan, tambaga, séng, jeung magnésium).

3. How accurate is sand casting?

Typical dimensional tolerances are around ± 0.5 mm per 100 mm of dimension, with surface finishes of Ra 6–12 µm.

4. What are the main advantages of sand casting?

  • Low tooling cost and rapid mold changes
  • Ability to produce very large or complex shapes
  • Broad material compatibility
  • Recyclable mold materials

5. What are the limitations of sand casting?

  • Relatively rough surface finish and looser tolerances
  • Higher scrap rate from gating and risers
  • Slower cycle times due to mold preparation and shakeout

6. How do I minimize casting defects in sand casting?

  • Design proper gating and risering for directional solidification
  • Use degassing and filtration to remove inclusions
  • Control mold compaction and venting to avoid gas porosity

7. When should I choose sand casting over other methods?

Select sand casting for low-to-medium volumes, large or complex parts, rapid prototyping, or when low tooling cost is a priority—even if final parts require some machining.
