Sand casting involves creating a mold from sand, which is then filled with molten metal to form a desired shape. The process typically includes several steps pattern creation, mold preparation, pouring, and cooling. Traditionally, patterns are often made from wood or metal, which can be labor-intensive and time-consuming to produce. The patterns must be designed to allow for the shrinkage of the metal during cooling and to facilitate the removal of the cast from the mold. This highlights one of the primary challenges in sand casting designing for manufacturability while accommodating the limitations of conventional materials and techniques.

1. إنشاء القالب يتم خلط الرمل مع مادة رابطة ثم يتم ضغطه حول النموذج الذي يمثل الشكل النهائي للمنتج. بمجرد أن يتشكل القالب ويجف، يُمكن فتحه لاستخراج النموذج الأصلي.

The core advantage of precision steel casting lies in its ability to produce complex geometries that are often impossible or economically unfeasible to achieve with other manufacturing methods. The molds used in precision casting can be crafted with great detail, allowing for the creation of parts with delicate features, intricate patterns, and smooth surface finishes.

2. Minimization of Defects Ejector pins help in preventing casting defects that can arise from parts being stuck in the die. By uniformly distributing the ejection force, ejector pins reduce the risk of surface damage and maintain the part's dimensional accuracy.

1. Excellent Fluidity Grey cast iron has good fluidity when molten, allowing it to fill intricate molds effectively. This property is critical in sand casting, where complex geometries are often required.
