A casting process which uses a mix of sand and binding clay as the molding element into which molten metal is poured and "cast."
The process of pouring molten metal into a natural or an artificial sand mold to form large parts, often made of iron.
A model is encased in a sand mould which is then split, the model removed and molten metal poured into the reassembled mould.
For hundreds of years sand casting was the most popular of all casting methods. It still plays an important role in the production of large metal forms, (typically Iron, but also Bronze, Brass, Aluminum). Tempered sand is packed onto wood or metal pattern halves, removed from the pattern, and metal is poured into resultant cavities. Molds are broken to remove castings.
Metal castings produced in sand molds. See Casting.
An ancient and still widely used casting method in which moistened sand is packed against a model to make a mold.
Casting is the process of production of objects by pouring molten material in to a cavity called a mould which is the negative of the object, and allowing it to cool and solidify. Sand casting is a means of producing rough metal castings using a mould usualy made from sand formed around a replica of the object to be cast that is removed once the sand has been compacted. Castings made by this process can be further refined by any or all of hammer peening, shot peening, polishing, forging, plating, rough grinding, machine grinding or machining.
