Sand casting is still preferred for large components in many industrial sectors due to its cost-effectiveness and adaptability.
A Versatile Casting Method
Sand casting is chosen when size and simplicity are more important than extreme precision. Molds are created using patterns pressed into sand, allowing large parts to be cast affordably.
Used Across Heavy Industries
In energy, mining, and construction, sand casting is frequently used. Large pumps, valves, and housing parts are often manufactured this way due to ease of scale.
Benefits for Larger Structures
Despite its rougher surface finish, sand casting allows bulkier components to be cast in fewer steps. Moreover, modifications can be made quickly without expensive tooling changes.
Its Continuing Industrial Role
Even with advanced methods, sand casting has not been replaced for large components. In fact, its role is likely to stay strong due to its cost and size advantages.
