What are the characteristics of casting?

Casting is one of the most commonly used production processes for parts blank. Because casting can use all kinds of materials, and it is not limited by the weight, size and shape of the blank, it has great technological flexibility and short production cycle, so it has been widely used. Parts with complex shapes, which are difficult to process or even manufacture, can be obtained by casting.

The advantages of casting production are:

1, can cast parts or parts blanks with complex shapes.

2, wide adaptability

3. Wide sources of materials and low cost.

The disadvantages of casting production are:

1, the comprehensive mechanical properties of castings are poor.

2. There are many casting defects, the quality is not easy to control and the rejection rate is high.

3. Bad working conditions
