Aluminum is one of the few metals that can be cast by all of the processes used in casting metals. These processes, in decreasing order of amount of aluminum casting, are: die casting, permanent mold casting, sand casting (green sand and dry sand), plaster casting, investment casting, and continuous casting.
There are many factors that affect selection of a casting process for producing a specific aluminum alloy part. The most important factors for all casting processes are: Our highly skilled, creative engineers provide assistance to our customers and prospective customers with quotes, rapid prototyping and tooling design. They act as project managers, working closely with the production and quality and sales. These combined efforts facilitate the development of functional, practical tool designs and improve quality and efficiency in all phases of engineering and production.




Company Brief: Sand casting is an economical process for creating rough metal parts. Sand casting is the least expensive of all casting processes, including die and investment casting. Typically, sand casting is used for processing low-temperature metals, such as iron, copper, aluminum, magnesium, and nickel alloys. It can also be used for high-temperature metals where other means would be impractical. Sand casting is by far the oldest and best understood of all techniques. ...
