How does the Sand casting process work?

Elements of the gating system

Wider Material Choice Low Cost Tooling Aluminum Sand Mold Casting

Metal casting gating system

Sand casting is one of the most common metal casting processes, and its mould is made of two halves. Two halves are contained inside a flask box, the upper half is called the cope, and the bottom half is called the drag. The image below shows that the flask is divided into two halves. The line that separates the two halves is called the parting line.

Sand casting steps

The following are the seven main steps of the sand-casting cycle

Sand casting steps
  1. Pattern-making step in which a replica of the object to be cast is made of suitable material. The pattern usually is oversized to allow for metal shrinkage during the cooling phase
  2. In the mould-making step, a sand mould is formed by packing sand into the mould around the pattern. The sand mould is divided into two halves, the top half is called the "Cope", and the bottom is called the "Drag". When the pattern is removed from the cavity, it forms remains for pouring the molten metal. Mould will have other features such as Sprue, runners, gate, pouring cup, riser etc., which will be discussed in detail later.
  3. The clamping step involves the two mould halves, Cope and Drag, securely clamped together, ready for pouring metal.
  4. Pouring molten metal is maintained at a set temperature. Molten metal is poured in quickly to avoid early solidification and
  5. Poured molten metal will begin to cool and solidify once inside the cavity. Most of the possible sand-casting defects are introduced at this solidification stage
  6. Once the cooling period elapses, the mould can be shaken out/broken off and casting
  7. Trimming involves cleaning and removing the section that is connected to the main part, such as the runner, Sprue etc....


Frequently Asked Questions

What is sand casting mainly used for?

Sand casting is used to produce a wide range of metal components, including engine blocks, cylinder heads, pump housings, and various industrial and automotive parts. Sand casting offers a lot of variability and flexibility in the size and complexity of the object being produced and is generally cost-effective, making it a great manufacturing process. 

Is sand casting expensive?

Compared to other casting methods, sand casting is generally considered a cost-effective option. Costs vary depending on factors such as the complexity of the part, the metal used, and the required finishing touches. Sand casting's ability to reuse and recycle sand contributes to its cost efficiency.

What is the sand casting process?

The sand casting process involves creating a mold using a pattern, pouring molten metal into the mold, cooling and solidifying the metal, and then removing the casting from the mold. It is a versatile and widely used casting method that can produce complex shapes and accommodate various metal alloys.
