Aluminum sand casting is a widely used, versatile metal casting process where molten aluminum is poured into a sand mold to create a desired part. The process is known for its ability to produce intricate and complex geometries with high accuracy, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
Here's a breakdown of the process:
1. Pattern Creation: A reusable pattern, resembling the final part, is created from materials like wood, metal, or plastic.2. Mold Making: The pattern is embedded in a flask (a container) filled with sand (often reinforced with clay or resin). The sand is compacted around the pattern to create a mold cavity.3. Gating System: Runners (channels) and risers (reservoirs) are incorporated into the mold to guide the molten aluminum into the cavity and manage shrinkage during cooling.4. Melting and Pouring: The aluminum alloy is melted and then poured into the prepared mold cavity through the gating system.
5. Cooling and Solidification: The molten aluminum cools and solidifies within the mold, taking the shape of the cavity.6. Knockout and Cleaning: The sand mold is broken away (knocked out), and the casting is removed. The casting is then cleaned, and any excess material from the gating system is removed.7. Finishing: The casting may undergo further finishing processes like machining, polishing, or surface treatments to meet specific requirements.
