Advantages of Lost Foam Casting Process
Lost Foam Casting, which is also called LFC for short, uses the patterns remaining in the compacted dry sand mould (full mould). Therefore, the LFC is considered to be the most innovative large-scale series casting method for the production of complex metal castings of t...Read more -
Coated Sand Casting VS Resin Sand Casting
Coated sand mould casting and resin sand mould casting are two casting methods that are more and more widely used. In actual casting production, they are increasingly used to replace clay green sand casting. Although there are some similarities between resin sand and coa...Read more -
Testing of Mechanical Properties of Metal Castings
Before we intorduce the testing of mechanical properties of the metal casting, it needs to be pointed out that the terminal inspection of casting quality is only the last checkpoint to prevent unqualified castings from leaving the factory. The key to ensuring the quality...Read more -
Ductile Cast Iron Mechanical Properties
Ductile cast iron, which is also called nodular iron or spheroidal graphite (SG) cast iron, is not a single material but is part of a group of materials which can be produced to have a wide range of properties through control of the microstructure. Nodular cast iron obta...Read more -
Casting VS Forging
There are a variety of manufacturing processes to produce a custom metal part. Each has its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Some of the important factors affecting the selection of a process include the following: - Quantity of the material required - Design of ...Read more -
Chrome Molybdenum Cast Steel
Chromium-molybdenum cast steel is widely used in industrial fields with relatively high mechanical properties. The addition of molybdenum to chromium steel can increase the strength of steel castings without having a significant impact on the impact toughness of cast ste...Read more -
Three Major Casting Processes
Various casting processes have been developed over the time by foundries and researchers, each with its own characteristics and applications of the metal castings to meet specific engineering and service requirements. Generally speaking, accord...Read more -
Shell Building for Investment Casting
Investment casting is to coat multiple layers of refractory coatings on the surface of the wax mold. After it is hardened and dried, the wax mold is melted by heating to obtain a shell with a cavity corresponding to the shape of the wax mold. After baking, it is poured i...Read more -
Investment Casting Tolerance
As a precision casting process, the products produced by investment casting have high dimensional accuracy and low surface roughness values. Investment casting is a near net shape casting. Especially when silica sol is used as the raw material for making shell molds, the...Read more -
Brief Introduction of Wear-Resistant Cast Steel
Among a wide variety of casting alloys, wear-resistant cast steel is a very widely used alloy steel. Wear-resistant cast steel mainly improves the wear resistance of steel castings by adding different content of alloying elements, such as manganese, chromium, carbon, etc...Read more -
The Advantages of Steel Castings Comparing to the Steel Forgings
Steel castings the a combination of casting molding process and steel material metallurgy. They can not only have complex structure that are difficult to obtain by other forming processes, but also maintain the unique properties of...Read more -
What Is Precipitation Hardening Stainless Steel?
Precipitation hardening stainless steel, which is called PH Steel, refers to the kind of stainless steel which adds different types and quantities of strengthening elements, and different types and quantities of carbides, nitrides, carbonitrides and intermetallic compoun...Read more
