parts of casting

Before we can actually cast parts, we need a mold to shape them. A mold is a container that defines the shape of the material to be casted. A pattern is the thing you need to create that mold first. A pattern is a replica of the casting, usually made out of wood metal or plastic. It is very crucial because it assists in defining the size and characteristics of a mold Imagine the pattern as a template, or an instruction manual that tells the mold what to be.

The Importance of Proper Casting Molds

After making our pattern, we are ready to create the mold. To get this shape we will place the pattern inside a box and completely fill with tight sand. Now we fill the sand in and press it to get shape of mold. Properly manufacturing the mold is a key factor in delivering quality casting parts. When the mold is not made correctly, cracks, holes or uneven surface may come up in the cast part. These defects could make the parts weaker, or completely unusable and thus it is important to be careful when we manufacture the mold.
