WHAT IS SAND CASTING?
Sand casting for involves creating molds made of sand mixed with a binder material to form intricate shapes and patterns. The mold cavity is prepared by compacting sand around a pattern, which is then removed to leave a void for molten brass to be poured. Once the brass solidifies, the sand mold is broken away, revealing the finished brass casting.

STAINLESS STEEL
Stainless steel alloys used in casting commonly include grades such as 304 & 316.
​
Stainless steel casting offers corrosion resistance, strength, and design flexibility, ideal for diverse applications across industries requiring durability and precision.
ADVANTAGES
Sand casting offers cost-effectiveness, versatility in shapes, and suitability for large-scale production. It accommodates various metals, including but not limited to brass
and stainless steel.

Design Freedom:
Complex shapes with intricate details can be easily achieved due to the flexibility
of sand molds.
2
Cost-Effectiveness:
The process utilizes inexpensive materials like sand and can produce large, complex parts at lower costs compared to other methods.
3
Sustainability:
Sand used in casting molds is often reusable, reducing material waste and environmental impact.
5
Minimal Machining Requirements:
The process produces parts with close tolerances, reducing the need for extensive machining thus minimizing waste.
6
Reduced Tooling Lead Time:
Mass Production:
​
Sand casting is well-suited for high-volume production due to its ability to create multiple molds simultaneously, resulting in efficient batch processing and shorter lead times.
Compared to other casting methods that require longer lead times for tooling production, sand casting tooling can be fabricated relatively quickly, accelerating the overall production timeline.
