Sand Casting Solutions

Sand casting uses a sand mold that can be easily shaped to produce intricate designs, allowing for both simple and complex geometries. The sand mold is strong enough to withstand high temperatures during pouring, ensuring durability and accuracy in the finished part.

At Align MFG no sand casting project is too large and we cater to the most stringent custom client specifications with all our manufacturing processes. Our large-scale sand casting solutions are highly specialized with up to 15 Ton parts possible. 

Sand casting is cost-effective because it requires less initial tooling and can use reusable sand molds. This flexibility and low setup cost make it ideal for small production runs and lower tooling investment compared to other casting methods.

Common metals for sand casting include aluminum, cast iron, brass, and bronze. Each metal provides unique properties: for example, aluminum offers lightweight and corrosion resistance, while cast iron adds strength and durability, affecting the end-use application and quality of the final product.

Industries like automotive, agriculture, and heavy equipment manufacturing prefer sand casting because it supports the production of large, complex, and durable parts. Its ability to handle heavy sections and complex designs makes it ideal for machinery parts that require robust construction.

Sand casting is well-suited for customization and low-volume production as it allows for easy mold modifications and minimal tooling investment. This makes it feasible to create custom parts with high flexibility, even in small batch sizes, at a reasonable cost.
