Steel can certainly be produced using sand casting, one of the most widely used processes in metal casting.
Sand casting involves pouring molten steel into a sand mold cavity where it cools and solidifies, producing castings with complex shapes and internal cavities at a lower cost.
Process Characteristics
Applicability: Suitable for steel, iron, and most non-ferrous alloys, especially for castings with complex shapes and internal cavities.
Cost Advantage: Compared to other casting processes (such as pressure casting or centrifugal casting), sand casting equipment is simple and inexpensive, suitable for small to medium batch production.
Production Efficiency: Wet casting (pouring directly into the un-dried sand mold) can further improve efficiency, suitable for small to medium-sized thin-walled cast iron parts (typically weighing less than 300-500 kg) in the automotive, tractor, and other industries.
Application Scenarios
Automotive Industry: Castings such as engine cylinder blocks and crankshafts are often produced using sand casting.
Heavy Machinery: Cast steel nodes and structural components can achieve complex structures through sand casting.
