[0002] Metal casting is the process of melting metal into a liquid that meets specific requirements, pouring it into a mold, and then cooling, solidifying, and finishing it to produce a casting with a predetermined shape, size, and properties. Because the cast blank is nearly formed, it can eliminate or minimize machining, reducing costs and time. Casting is a fundamental process in the modern machinery manufacturing industry.

[0003] Sand casting is one of the most commonly used processes in metal casting. The process of sand casting includes the following steps:

[0004] S1-Prepare the mold: Determine the basic shape of the product by placing a finished part model or a wooden model in the sand. The shape and size of the mold need to accurately correspond to the required casting;

[0005] S2-Filling molding sand: Fill the molding sand into the sand box and compact it to ensure the stability and accuracy of the mold;

[0006] S3-Pouring liquid metal: After taking out the model from the mold, pour the melted liquid metal into the cavity, and strictly control the temperature and pouring speed to ensure that the metal can evenly fill the cavity;

[0007] S4 - Cooling and solidification: The liquid metal cools and solidifies in the mold cavity to form the casting; this process takes a certain amount of time, depending on the type of metal and the complexity of the casting;

[0008] S5- Demolding and cleaning: After the casting cools and solidifies, it needs to be demoulded to remove excess sand and gate system on the casting to obtain the final product.
