Hot sale Gray Iron Sand Casting Factory - Custom Gray Iron Sand Casting Parts – RMC Foundry

Custom gray iron sand casting parts are made of cast gray iron by sand casting process. Our sand casting components are serving many industries of high demand such as oil & gas, rail trains and automotive. We invite our customer to involve the design and development of the toolings and petterns at the first beginning. Our rich-experienced engineers could support you from an initial idea to serial production with there expert knowledge of real manufacturing and material analysis including chemical composition and mechanical properties. Our engineering team will convert any of development to a lean and production-friendly design taking into our full process production chain.

▶ Design and Development of Sand Casting Toolings and Patterns
At our pattern and tools shop, our experienced pattern makers and technicans could use the 2D drawings and 3D models for the tooling / pattern development. If possible, the traditional way of making is also considered. Our experts could also support you in making 3D models as per your rough idea or 2D drawings, if you need.

When we design the toolings/patters and the production procedure of the sand casting parts, we always think about the following main factors:
• Lower weight to reduce your costs.
• Accurate dimension to reduce or no need for machining.
• Easy to install with other components.
• Suitable materials to meet the requirements of mechanical properties but control the whole costs.
• Be conductive to mass production.
• Environment-friendly.

▶ Metallurgy, Chemical Composition and Mechanical Properties of the Material
The casting foundry at RMC is equipped with a complete metallurgical laboratory to determin the chemical and mechanical characteristics of each melt and to analyse the metallurgic condition of the molten metal before pouring. Microsections are examined under the microscope to obtain final information. If possible or needed, we can issure 3.1 Certificate for each delivery part on customers’ demand.

▶ Raw Materials Available for Sand Casting Foundry at RMC:
Cast iron is an iron-carbon cast alloy with other elements that is made by remelting pig iron, scrap, and other additions. For differentia- tion from steel and cast steel, cast iron is defined as a cast alloy with a carbon content (min 2.03%) that ensures the solidification of the final phase with a eutectic transformation. Depending on chemical specifications, cast irons can be non- alloyed or alloyed. The range of alloyed irons is much wider, and they contain either higher amounts of common components, such as silicon and manganese, or special additions, such as nickel, chromium, aluminum, molybdenum, tungsten, copper, vana- dium, titanium, plus others. Generally speaking, the cast iron could be divided into gray iron, ducitle iron (nodular iron), white cast iron, compacted graphite iron and malleable cast iron.
