Custom Green Sand Casting Parts

What is Green Sand Casting Green sand casting is a traditional and highly adaptable casting process that remains integral to the production of diverse metal components across various sectors. This technique utilizes a mixture of sand, clay, water, and additional compounds, collectively known as green sand, to create molds for casting molten metals. In this process, the green sand is tightly packed around a pattern—commonly crafted from wood, plastic, or metal—to establish the mold cavity. Once the pattern is extracted, the resultant cavity is ready to accept the molten metal. Green sand molds are particularly noted for their excellent dimensional stability, impressive permeability, and high thermal tolerance. These attributes render them apt for casting a wide array of metals such as iron, aluminum, steel, brass, and bronze. Green sand casting is celebrated for its ability to produce parts varying significantly in size and complexity, ranging from simple components to compl…
