| Nobake |
| This Process is normally used for making large metalcasting and medium-size aluminum castings which require cores but are not overly complex. |
| - |
|
Nobake molds are very rigid and lend themselves to very good dimensional tolerance. |
| - |
|
Metalcasting surface finishes are very good. |
| - |
|
Wood and plastic patterns can be used. |
| |
|
|
| Dry Sand |
| This molding process is used for very intricate aluminum castings, A refractory coating can be applied to the parting line surface to improve the strength and heat-resistant characteristics. |
| - |
|
It produces a very hard and strong mold-cavity surface, which can produce better dimensional tolerance and smoother metalcasting surfaces. |
| - |
|
Allows for use of multiple cores, to form very complex shapes. |
| |
|
|
| Permanent & Semi-Permanent Mold |
| This mold casting process can range in size from ounces to more than 100 lb. Various complex shapes can be cast out of Aluminum alloys. These metalcastings can also be cored. |
| - |
|
The molds, although heated, still act as a chill, which improves mechanicl properties of the metalcasting. |
| - |
|
The surface finish of these metalcasting is very good. |
| - |
|
Permanent molds have finer dendrite arm spacing, grain structure and strength properties. |
| |
|
|
| Custom Molds |
| Can produce parts in quantities of single units to thousands of pieces, ranging from 1 ounces to 2500 pounds , with several cores and in a variety of alloys. |
