This user's guide will tell you how to
use our cast iron price
calculator to get the appreciate casting prices of your cast
iron products, instantly by yourself.
Please notice that the calculated prices could only be your
reference, price evaluation or rough estimation. Can not be taken
our Dandong Foundry's price quotation.
1. Material Grade
Normally, you could find the material grade on the casting drawings.
If you know their material grade, or find them on the drawing, then
choose its material grade accordingly. Otherwise, you could choose
the default value "No Requirement", or just leave this option blank.
The different material will affect their casting prices, so it is
better to choose the correct one. If you just know it is ductile
iron, but do not know its specific grade, this is all right, you
could choose the lowest grade "Ductile Iron ASTM A536 60-40-18".
2. Casting Unit Weight
If you want to get the unit price USD/pcs, then you need to input
their unit weight kg/pcs. After input their unit weight, you need to
tell the calculator what unit weight it is. The Raw Casting Weight
is the unit weight for the raw castings, the unit weight before
machining. The Finished Part Weight is the unit weight after
machining. In other words, it is the unit weight for the finished
part.
If your part needs machining works, normally, the unit weight you
know will be the "Finished Part Weight", otherwise, it will be "Raw
Casting Weight".
3. Complexity of Castings
The complexity of castings will affect their casting prices. This is
because the complex casting will need more sand cores, which will
cause more materials and production works.
You may feel difficulty to judge how complex it is. We have shown
some photos on our calculator, so you could take them as reference.
If you still can not assure, just choose the "Normal Casting" or
"Complex Casting".
4. Selection of Casting Process
Casting process is the method we make metal castings. When we see
the drawing, we will consider which casting process will be suitable
for making the castings. Different casting process will affect their
casting prices.
If you know what casting process will be suitable for making them,
then please choose it. Otherwise, you may consider the following
reference.
If the casting is very complex, then you may choose "Shell Molding".
If the casting is very simple, then you could choose the "Green
Sand".
If the casting has very large quantity, such as over 10,000 pcs each
PO, then you could choose "Green Sand".
If the casting is very large, such as over 300kg each piece, then
you should choose "Resin Sand".
5. Machining Description
Dandong Foundry's casting price calculator could help you to get the
machining costs. Of course, the accurate machining cost is very
difficult to get unless you are very professional machining
engineer, so our calculator is just help you to get the approximate
costs.
If you just need raw castings, or the castings do not need further
machining, then you should choose "No Machinig".
You could check how many positions or surfaces will need machining,
if there are many machining positions and surfaces, then you could
take it as complex or very complex.
If your casting parts need CNC centers, or very high accurate
machining, then you may choose complex or very complex.
But please notice that the different machining complexity will
affect the machining costs very seriously, so please choose it
carefully.
6. Surface Painting and Coating
If you want foundry to paint them or do some certain surface
coatings, then you could choose the painting method accordingly.
7. Packing and Delivery to Local Seaport
Packing cost means our Dandong Foundry will pack them into
fumigation-free plywood crates. We will also deliver them to our
local Dalian port, then they will be ready for shipment. This is FOB
China terms.
If you want us to pack them and deliver them to the local seaport,
then you could choose the options accordingly.
Now, please click the button "Price Calculation", then you will see
the prices for the casting price, machining price, paint & coating
price, packing & delivery cost, and total price.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any question. We will be
glad to help you to use our calculator. Galen Wang. Manager of
