Casting Process Comparison

Sand Casting
  • Uses disposable sand molds for each casting

  • Metal is poured manually using gravity

  • Low tooling cost, ideal for prototypes and custom parts

  • Suitable for low to medium production volumes

  • Slower production speed due to mold preparation

  • Can produce large and heavy parts

  • Offers flexibility in part size and shape

  • Surface finish is rough and usually needs machining

  • Dimensional accuracy is moderate

  • Heat treatment is generally feasible

  • Supports use of cores for internal cavities

Gravity Die Casting
  • Uses permanent metal molds, filled by gravity

  • Suitable for medium production volumes

  • Offers better surface finish and accuracy than sand casting

  • Moderate tooling cost

  • Slower than pressure die casting but faster than sand casting

  • Can produce thicker wall sections

  • Suitable for robust and strong parts

  • Sand cores can be used for internal features

  • Ideal for parts needing better mechanical strength

  • More consistent part quality over multiple runs

Pressure Die Casting
  • Uses high-pressure injection to fill metal molds

  • Best for high-volume production and complex parts

  • High initial tooling cost, but low per-part cost at scale

  • Very fast production cycle and excellent surface finish

  • Suitable for thin-walled, lightweight components

  • Not ideal for heat-treated parts (due to porosity)

  • Not suitable for large or heavy castings

  • Limited use of cores or internal voids

  • Requires precise mold engineering and control

  • Ideal for industries like automotive, electronics, and appliances
