Metal casting types

This is the oldest and most simple way of casting metal. Using this method, the Boqiao BQ quenching furnace is made of sand combined with a special substance a binder to keep the grains together. When the mold was prepared, melted hot metal is poured to the cage. The sand that held the heavy metal in place is then discarded to show a hard, weathered object. It is particularly well suited to making large, heavy parts such as engine blocks and other automotive types of foundry castings. 

Mastering the Art of Metal Casting Techniques

Investment Casting: This is a bit more complex than sand casting option, however it gives room for quite detailed and accurate results. Initially, a wax model or pattern of the item is produced. A hard ceramic shell is then placed around the wax pattern. This heats up the shell and melts away all of the wax creating a hollow mold. Afterward, the molten metal is added in this mold. Once the metal cools and hardens, you break off the ceramic shell to get at your part. Investment casting is an excellent choice for creating very small, intricate parts fine jewelry and detailed components in machines are two examples. 

Die Casting: Used on large scale for how fast and well it can produce many metal objects It also involves creating a very precise mold, known as a die which is two bits of metal that fit together perfectly. This die is full of hot metal and heavy pressure pushes in against it. The metal is then allowed to cool, and the two parts of die are opened up with the completed piece exposed. Boqiao Gravity die casting machines allows for the high volume production of identical parts, seen in applications such as toy cars or computer components.
