Advantages and Disadvantages of Stainless Steel Casting Process
Advantages and disadvantages of stainless steel casting process Everyone in the casting industry knows a fact. That is the mechanical properties of stainless steel casting are higher than that of cast iron, but its casting performance is worse than that of cast iron. Stainless steel casting belongs to investment or precision casting, with relatively […]
The Density of Ductile Iron
The density of ductile cast iron is approximately 7.3 g/cm3, or 7.3 kg/liter, or 119.6 g/cm3. However, due to the material grade and shrinkage level, the density has a certain range of variation. In other words, if the quality of pig iron used by the iron foundry is better and the shrinkage rate is smaller, […]

Surface Finish Degree (Smoothness) Comparison Table between Rz, Ra and RMS for Iron and Steel Castings
What standard can be used to express the surface finish or smoothness of steel castings? The comparison table we made as below is for your reference. You can find the comparison of the new Chinese Ra and Rz standards with the American micron and micron inch Ra in this table. In addition, we have also […]
Casting flask, Moulding flask, Sand box, Moulding box
Casting flask is also called moulding flask, sand box or moulding box. It is an indispensable tool in the production of sand castings. At the same time, it also plays an important role in the casting process. A suitable sand box can improve the quality of casting and reduce the consumption of molding sand, thereby […]
Introduction of Iron Based Coated Sand Casting
Brief introduction of iron based coated sand casting: Iron based coated sand casting is a casting production technology. In the 1970s, Chinese foundry workers developed a special casting technology method, which is based on the research of domestic and foreign foundry counterparts, and in combination with China’s national conditions. It is different from sand casting, […]
