Our Conventional Molding Casting Process

Pattern Creation

A precise pattern is made from metal, sand, or a composite material, designed to withstand the pouring temperature and ensure detailed feature replication.

Mold Formation

The pattern is coated with a fine sand mixture, bonded with a binder, and compacted to form a rigid mold shell capable of withstanding thermal expansion.

Mold Drying and Hardening

The sand mold is dried in a controlled environment to remove moisture and hardened through heat treatment, ensuring structural integrity during pouring.

Metal Melting and Alloy Control

Metals are melted in a furnace, with temperature and alloy composition closely monitored to achieve uniform fluidity and minimize material defects during casting.

Precision Pouring

Molten metal is poured into the mold under controlled conditions, ensuring accurate filling of intricate cavities and preventing air entrapment or cold shuts.

Cooling and Deflasking

After the metal solidifies, the mold is carefully broken apart, and the casting is extracted. Excess material, such as gates or runners, is machined for final finishing.
