How do you tell if a part is casted?

How Can You Identify If a Part Was Cast? After inspecting thousands of metal components, we’ve developed reliable methods to distinguish cast parts from alternatives – crucial for quality control and reverse engineering. Look for these 6 signs of casting: 1) Surface texture variations 2) Parting lines 3) Gate/runner marks 4) Draft angles 5) Internal […]
What kind of sand is used for casting?

What Types of Sand Are Used in Metal Casting? After three decades in metal casting, we’ve tested hundreds of sand formulations – the right mix makes all the difference between success and scrapped parts. Foundries primarily use silica sand (90-98% SiO2), chromite sand (for heat resistance), zircon sand (for precision), and olivine sand (for steel) […]
How to make a casting part?

How Are Casting Parts Manufactured Step-by-Step? At our foundry, we’ve produced over 2 million casting parts by perfecting these key manufacturing stages. The casting process transforms molten metal precisely into functional components. The casting process involves pattern creation, mold preparation, metal melting, pouring, solidification, removal, and finishing – with exact steps varying based on casting […]
What are the 4 main types of casting?

What Are the 4 Main Types of Casting Processes? In our decades of metal manufacturing experience, we’ve mastered all four fundamental casting methods – each solving different production challenges with unique approaches to metal forming. Snippet paragraph: The four primary casting methods are sand casting (versatile for large parts), die casting (high-speed precision), investment casting […]
What are die casting parts?

What Are Die Casting Parts and Why Are They Essential? In our 30 years of metal fabrication, we’ve produced over 5 million die-cast components for industries ranging from automotive to consumer electronics. These precision parts solve critical manufacturing challenges. Snippet paragraph: Die casting parts are metal components created by forcing molten metal under high pressure […]
