Do you ever wonder about how things like toys, cans, pots and pans are all made from aluminum? It’s really interesting! One method to create these aluminium products is known as aluminium casting. Sand casting is a specific process where melted aluminum is poured into a sand mold to create various shapes and sizes. Its a very curious process and few details are to be minded.
And before we can make a Moldie sand mold, we need a pattern. So we pack sand tightly around this pattern. After the sand is properly packed in we can remove the pattern, resulting in a hollow shape in the sand, exactly like the object we want to create. After this, we pour melted aluminum into the cavity of the mold. Once the molten aluminum cools and solidifies, we can break away the sand, and we are left with a shiny piece of aluminum that is the exact shape of the pattern we started with!
Use a Good Pattern: A suitable pattern must be made of strong woods or metals that resist heat. This means that when we cast in the hot aluminum, the pattern won’t erode or lose its shape. Having a good pattern is critical to the final quality of the aluminum object that comes out on the other end.
Aluminum sand casting may not be right for every situation. If you are only looking to create a small amount of aluminum parts, welding or machining may be an easier, shorter process. That being said, if you want to produce a bunch of pieces of aluminum or larger projects, Moldie aluminium casting die is a great method to go for! Seeing your own designs come to life can be a fun and rewarding experience.
Make the Shape: First of all, create the pattern of whatever object you want to create. This pattern can be carved out of wood, although if you have access to technology you can use a 3D printer and make a plastic pattern. The pattern is crucial as it dictates the contours of your finished item.
Pour the Aluminum: After the mold has been prepared and the pattern removed, it’s time to melt the aluminum. Melt it, then pour the molten aluminum in the mold. After pouring, do not touch or move the mold, let it cool down. Be patient here, this step is crucial, the aluminum needs to cool completely.
They Clean the Sand: You have to make sure that the Moldie aluminum die casting company is clean and does not have any debris or moisture in it before you can pour the aluminum into the mold This is due to the fact that dirt or moisture can be focused on the finished product, giving it the appearance of being less than perfect.
