Sand Casting for a Wide Range of Applications
- 1. Sand Casting for a Wide Range of Applications Avalon Precision Metalsmiths 15583 Brookpark Road Cleveland, OH 44142 www.avalon-castings.com
- 2. Sand’s Inherent Qualities Provide Key Benefits Thanks to our parent company, Sigma Electric Manufacturing Corp., we’re able to offer extensive sand casting capabilities for our customers. Because of sand’s inherent compactability, refractory nature and recyclability, this casting process uses relatively low-cost molds. Since it requires a relatively low investment, sand casting allows for quick tooling development and part changes at a reasonable cost. This makes it ideal for working through the evolutions of a part.
- 3. Green Sand Casting The process is often referred to “green sand casting” because of the moisture content of the molding sand. This sand is usually made up of both new and reclaimed silica sand, various bonding clays, carbonaceous materials and water. To create a mold, the prepared sand is compacted around a pattern that has the shape of the desired casting.
- 4. Markets and Products Sand casting is well-suited for a wide range of applications We use it to make products for industries like: • Electrical • Lighting • Power transmission and distribution • Industrial appliances Part size can range from an ounce or less to more than 40 pounds. Small parts include products like gears, pulleys, connecting rods and propellers, while larger components can include pump components, manifolds, cylinder heads and transmission cases.
