The Advantages of Metal Casting
1. Wide suitability
The metal casting process
is almost free from the restrictions of the size, thickness and
shape of castings, casting wall thickness can be up to 0.3-1000mm,
the length varies from a few millimeters to ten meters, and the
quality can be from a few grams to more than 300t. The metal casting
process is most suitable for the production of parts with complex
shape, especially with complex cavity, such as complex box, valve,
impeller, the engine cylinder, propeller, etc.
2. Available materials
The materials used in metal castings
are widely existed. Almost any material can be melted into the
liquid alloy can be used for casting, such as steel, a variety of
aluminum alloy, copper alloy, iron alloy, platinum alloy castings
and so on. For those brittle alloy materials with low plasticity
(such as ordinary cast iron), casting is the only feasible forming
process. In industrial production, cast iron is the most widely used
material, with the account for more than 70% of total output.
3. Metal castings have a certain accuracy of size
Under normal circumstances, metal castings have more precise forming
size than ordinary forgings and welding parts.
4. Low cost
overall economic performance, energy, material consumption of
casting are less than other metal forming methods.
Metal castings are up to 40% to 80% of quality in general machinery,
while the manufacturing cost is only 25% to 30% of the total cost of
the machine.
The reasons for its low cost are as follows:
a. The production methods are flexible, the mass production can be
organized as mechanized production.
b. The waste and old metal materials and renewable resources cab be
used.
c. Compared with the forging, the metal casting has less power
consumption.
d. Casting has certain dimensional accuracy, the allowance is small,
and it saves processing time and metal materials.
The above analyses are the main advantages of metal casting, and
they are also the main reasons that make metal castings so popular.
