Sand Casting Processes and Capabilities

As a full-service sand foundry, we utilize proven molding systems to accommodate a wide range of part sizes, geometries, and production volumes. Each process is selected to support dimensional stability and mechanical performance.

Our sand foundry capabilities include:

Green sand molding for adaptable and cost-effective production
Air set (no-bake) molding for large, complex, or heavy-wall components
Core making using shell and cold box systems for internal geometries
Controlled aluminum melting and alloy verification

These capabilities allow us to maintain consistent quality across short-run and high-volume production.

Process Control and Foundry Engineering

Successful sand casting depends on disciplined process control. Our foundry operations are engineered to manage mold integrity, metal flow, and solidification behavior.

Foundry process controls include:

Pour temperature monitoring and control
Mold and core consistency verification
Gating and riser optimization
Solidification control to reduce porosity and defects

This engineering-driven approach improves casting yield, reduces rework, and supports long-term production stability.

Aluminum Alloys Cast in Our Sand Foundry

Material selection is critical to casting performance. Our sand foundry produces aluminum castings using alloys selected for strength, corrosion resistance, and machinability.

Aluminum alloys commonly cast include:

319, 355, and 356 for structural and industrial components
