Introduction of casting process

The most common materials for casting engine parts are iron base alloy steels.

The requires more than a selection of tools and technology. In order to save money and ensure a high quality outcome, it’s important to carry out a detailed analysis of the parts being produced, along with their relationship to the machine and project in question. A number of factors need to be assessed, with efficient, accurate, and error-free CNC machining being dependent on procedural analysis and careful planning.

When determining the ideal materials for your casting project, determining your need for ferrous vs. non-ferrous metals is a good place to begin. Raw material performance of the metal is influenced by the presence (or absence) of iron.

Lost wax casting and investment casting are terms that are often used interchangeably, but there are few key differences that manufacturers and project managers should know.

3D printing is an interesting new development in the world of manufacturing. This tool has captured the attention of manufacturers as a way to reduce both time and cost, but the benefits and drawbacks vary depending on industry, project scope, and design.

Investment casting is one of the most widely used processes in metal casting, especially for parts within the transportation and equipment industry.

There isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach in identifying the processes and casting production costs for your project. And ultimately, it depends largely on what type metal is used.

OBT has always been a trusted partner in the foundry industry. We provide precision casting, die casting, sand casting, lost wax casting, forging and other processes.

Low-pressure die casting is a method of production that uses pressure – rather than gravity – to fill molds with molten metal such as aluminum and magnesium.
