Estimated Cost of Iron Sand Castings

When our customers send their Request for Quotation (RFQ) to us, they usually want to know the rough cost of the desired custom casting of unit weight such as kg, pount or ton. To be honest, it is easy to give a rough cost, but very difficult to provide the exact cost before we analyze the drawings and detailed requirements. Because when we calculate the cost per kilogram of gray iron sand castings and ductile iron castings, it is a engineering and professional work and we should be responsible for the offered quotation.

In fact, the cost of sand casting of iron castings is not only related to the weight of the castings, but also related to the following factors:
1) The complexity of the structure of the cast iron sand casting is simple, complex or medium. The more complicated the structure, the higher the cost.
2) The size of the sand casting. The cost of very small castings is also relatively high.
3) Are there special requirements, such as special materials, special mechanical strength, etc.
4) Demand for cast iron sand castings. If the annual consumption is relatively large, the cost of castings can be relatively lower.
