MANUFACTURE
SAND CASTING
Advantages
This process can be used
for a large range of sizes
and for small or large
production runs. It is the
cheapest casting process
available for small
production runs and can
sometimes be economical
for large production runs.
Disadvantages
The surface finish and
tolerances of the finished
casting are poor. This form of
casting can significantly alter
the mechanical properties of
the material being cast. The
time required to cast a
components can be excessive
due to the need to allow the
casting to cool before
removing it from the mould.
