Sand Casting
Source Sand Casting components through FERRASTACK's audited contract manufacturing network in India.
Sand casting makes large or geometrically flexible housings, frames, liners, and valve or pump bodies without high-pressure permanent tooling.
- Typical materials
- Typical alloys include grey and ductile iron, carbon and stainless steel, aluminium, bronze, and wear- or heat-resistant grades.
- Scale & complexity
- It supports low-to-repeat volumes, substantial casting weights, cores for internal passages, and designs ranging from simple plates to complex casings.
- Tolerance & finishing
- Draft, parting lines, core shift, shrinkage, machining allowance, surface texture, and distortion remain alloy- and geometry-dependent.
- Quality requirements
- Plans may include pattern approval, chemistry and mechanical tests, dimensional checks, visual examination, and specified NDT or pressure tests.
- Why source with FERRASTACK
- FERRASTACK connects buyers to Indian foundries and machining partners selected for alloy, melt size, molding route, inspection, and delivered condition.
