Parts of sand casting

Forming metal is pretty fun! There are many types, but one popular version is 'sand casting'. That consists in the formation of a pattern with sand and pouring molten metal into that mold. The part is taken out of the sand mold once metal has cooled down. There are few pieces to this process

Reviewing the Sand Mold(csv) - The First Stage of Sand Casting

The very initial stage of sand casting is to produce the sand mold. We use foundry sand which is a particular type of because it can endure high heat melted metal. Foundry sand is combined with a binder, such as clay or water to hold the two together. Next we place the sand mixture around a pattern, which is what our metal part will be like. The pattern is a wooden or plastic replica of the exact component to be casted and, previously usedral decades were commonly employed in sand molding.

Hollowing in Sand Cast Parts

Sometimes we would like our metal part to have an inside hole (eg. cup, bowl). This allows us to do so... We need an area for the air created when we pour molten metal into a sand mold. This space is called a core. Cores: Cores are reinforced sand and binder mixtures pack into a core box. We then place the core into sand mold, and pour melted metal in it. We take the sand and core out, and then we can remove a finished part once it is removed.
