Sand casting and die casting have some similarities, yet they are worlds apart when it comes to their production. Both processes are methods for producing castings out of various types of metals. Sand castings can be produced from a variety of metals, but the most popular metals are aluminum, grey iron, ductile iron, steel, and magnesium. Die casting mostly feature non-ferrous metals such as zinc, copper, aluminum, magnesium, lead, tin, etc. Both methods of casting use a pattern or mold to create the cavity, then molten metal is used to fill the cavity creating the desired part. That is where the similarities between the two methods end. As a professional China sand casting manufacturer, Jinli Casting Inc. can provide you all kinds iron castings.
