The effectiveness of casting costs depends on many factors, including casting method, material cost, yield rate and more.
The specific benefits need to be in accordance with the actual customer needs.
Benefit analysis of casting methods
Sand casting: The advantage of this method is that it is low cost and suitable for customers with large-scale production and limited budgets. However, sand casting requires a large amount of sand material and has relatively low production efficiency.
Precision casting: Although it can provide high-precision castings, the cost is high. Precision casting is suitable for application scenarios that require high precision and high-quality castings, but its cost is high.
Lost wax casting and investment casting: These advanced casting technologies can significantly shorten the production cycle, reduce waste, and improve production efficiency, but the initial investment is large.
Specific factors affecting the effectiveness of casting costs
Material cost: The cost of metal alloys has a direct impact on the price of castings. For example, the material cost of stainless steel castings depends on the material grade, and stainless steel castings are generally more expensive than cast iron parts.
Yield rate: The yield rate of the casting system (the percentage of actual weight to the weight of the entire casting system) directly affects the cost. The lower the yield rate, the higher the casting cost per unit weight.
Geometry and number of parts: The more complex the geometry of the metal part, the higher the economic value of using the casting process. Combining multiple small parts into one part can reduce assembly costs, inventory costs, and transportation costs.
Of course, if you have large-volume OEM casting order requirements. You can choose Mulan Metal, which has 12 years of OEM metal casting experience and has exported casting parts orders to more than 30 countries around the world. It has complete certificates and can meet the customized needs of different customers.
