Ever wondered how large metal parts are formed? Sand casting is a process that uses a mold pattern base as sand to cast metals of different shapes and sizes. It is a very efficient way to make parts that weigh from a few ounces to a ton. Sand casting is done in a foundry.

The sand casting process is as follows:

Place a pattern in the sand to make a mold.

Incorporate the design and sand into the gating system.

Remove the pattern.

Fill the mold cavity with molten metal.

Allow the metal to cool.

Break the sand mold and remove the casting.

Through the above processes, alloys and metals are made into a variety of different materials and are widely used in various industries, while metal alloys are at the core of specific industries.
