How To Improve The Appearance And Finish Of Steel Castings By Large Foundry Processing Manufacturers

There are many ways to improve the appearance and finish of steel castings by large-scale foundry processing manufacturers, such as selecting good raw materials, adopting advanced casting technology, and subsequent surface treatment technology.

It is important to know that the shape of the sand has an important impact on the surface finish of the casting. Circular sand is better than triangular sand because the triangular sand has a large gap, which is easy to lead to defects such as porosity; According to the nature of the casting, the sodium silicate quartz sand is selected to form a spalling layer, and combined with the characteristics of cooling and shrinkage of the casting, the surface defects are reduced. Coating a protective layer on the surface of large castings, such as the film on a coated sand mold, can improve the surface finish of the sand mold and reduce the surface defects of the casting.  

Post-processing of large castings, large foundry processing manufacturers can use liquid sandblasting to clean the oxide scale and residue on the surface of the casting, which can not only remove impurities, but also play a role in polishing and improving the surface finish of the casting; Use grinding wheels, abrasive cloths, sandpaper and other abrasives to remove impurities such as burrs, protrusions and oxide scales on the surface of steel castings, so that the surface is smooth. In addition, methods such as mechanical, electrochemical and chemical polishing can further improve the gloss and corrosion resistance of castings.

The use of wood mold or lost foam requires the mold to be consistent with the real thing, the appearance is smooth, and the yield and surface finish of the casting are improved, so as to reduce flash, burr and cold separation.

By optimizing the casting process and changing the design of the gating system, large foundry processing manufacturers can reduce defects in castings and improve the overall quality and appearance finish of castings.
