What is the Sand Cast Process?
It is the process where moist bonded or resin coated sand is firmly packed around a wood or metal pattern of the item(s) to be made. The wood and/or metal pattern is then removed and the resulting cavity is filled with the molten metal. Once the cavity is filled the mold undergoes air drying. The mold(s) are then removed to be cut from the gate and runner as individual pieces. 


Availability
The Wrought Alloys can be made in Sand Cast.  However, these alloys would only be made to the chemical equivalent of the wrought specification.  The following shapes would be available : any shape, whether you have a mold or need a mold made.

The Cast Alloys can be made in Sand Cast.  These alloys would be made to the chemical and physical specifications as outlined per alloy.  The following shapes would be available : any shape, whether  you have a mold or need a mold made.


Advantages over other Casting Methods:
  • Most versatile & low-cost method of casting.
  • Strength and lightness in certain light metal alloys.
  • Good bearing qualities are obtained in sand casted metals.
  • Extremely large, heavy metal objects may be cast when they would be difficult or economically impossible to produce otherwise.
  • Suitable for Ferrous & Non-Ferrous materials void of limitations such as size, shape or weight. 
  • Suitable for low or unlimited quantities making this method ideally economical.
  • The most intricate of shapes, both external and internal, may be cast.
