How Non-Ferrous Metal Alloy Casting is Performed by a Sand-Casting Foundry
The non-ferrous alloys either contain no iron or have iron in negligible quantity, such as aluminum, brass, copper, titanium etc. The aluminum, magnesium, zinc and copper-based alloys (bronze and brass) are cast in different shapes for industrial applications. A foundry/company may use various methods of casting for the non-ferrous alloys, such as: Sand-casting Investment/precision/lost-wax casting […]
Sand Castings: Types Of Finishing Methods
The sand-casting method has been in use for ages, and the vitality of this method has not decreased with the emergence of the latest technology and machines. Many intricate parts of mega machines are still manufactured using sand-casting technology. Since different equipment is made using the sand-casting methods using different alloys, sand casting foundries and […]
Casting Comparison: Brass V/S Bronze
Brass and bronze are metal alloys that are extensively used in casting works. But how many of us can tell them apart? Of course, by its colour and look, you can easily differentiate brass from bronze, but there are many other aspects. Let’s take a look at them: Colour Externally, brass has a golden colour, […]
Sand Casting as An Effective Method
Sand casting is a process of casting that uses sand-based molds. Sand casting has many advantages compared to other casting processes due to which it is in demand and is preferred over other methods of casting. Sand molds are cheap and can be created without spending a fortune. Another benefit of sand casting is that […]
Copper Nickel Alloy: Fabrication, Physical and Mechanical Properties
Cupronickel (CuNi) is an alloy of copper and nickel. It also contains some strengthening elements, such as manganese and iron. The standard copper and nickel grades in cupronickel are 90-10 (90% copper and 10% nickel) or 70-30 (70% copper and 30% nickel). The main benefits of using cupronickel alloy in the manufacturing of various articles […]
Top 8 Foundry Safety Practices
In a foundry, the molten metal is cast into a mould. This task is carried out either using a static (manual) casting procedure or using continuous spin or spray casting procedures. There are risks associated with the casting process of any metal alloy: The danger of explosion and burn injuries from hot materials Exposure to […]
