Qingdao forging process Xiaobian tell you the advantages and disadvantages of casting:
Benefits:
1 can produce parts of complex shape, particularly complex cavity blank (such as heating)
2 wide adaptability, commonly used industrial metal materials can be cast. A few grams to several hundred tons.
3 wide source of raw materials. Low prices. Scrap, scrap, chip
Shape and size of the part 4 cast is very close to reducing the amount of cutting, it is no less cutting.
Disadvantages:
1 mechanical performance than forging (coarse microstructure, deficit, etc.)
2 sand casting, single, small batch, labor-intensive.
Unstable 3 casting quality, process more complex factors, easy to produce a number of drawbacks.
