Advantages of Lost Foam Casting

Compared with traditional sand casting, lost foam casting has the following significant advantages

1. Lost foam casting does not require parting and core removal, so it is especially suitable for box, shell and tube castings that have complex geometric shapes and are difficult to complete in traditional casting.

2. The dry sand buried model for lost foam casting can be used repeatedly, with less industrial waste and significantly lower costs.

3. The lost foam casting has no flash and burrs, and the cleaning time can be reduced by more than 80%.

4. Lost foam casting can be used for multiple purposes in one line, not only for cast iron, ductile iron, but also for cast steel parts at the same time, so it is flexible to transfer items and has a wide range of applications.

5. Lost foam casting is not only suitable for large batches of castings and mechanized operations, but also suitable for manual splicing models of small batches of products.

6. If the investment in lost foam casting is in place, it can achieve no dust in the air, no sand on the ground, low labor intensity, and a good working environment. This will turn the industry dominated by male workers into an industry dominated by women.

7. Lost foam casting eliminates the modeling process. People with a certain level of education can become skilled workers after a short period of training. Therefore, it is especially suitable for regions and enterprises that lack technical capabilities.

8. Lost foam casting is suitable for group casting. Dry sand buried molds are easy to desand. For some material castings, residual heat treatment can be carried out according to the application.

9. Lost foam casting is not only suitable for small and medium parts, but also for large castings, such as machine bed, large diameter pipe fittings, large cold die parts, large mining equipment accessories, etc., because the model production cycle is short, the cost is low, and the production cycle is also short. Short, so it is particularly well received.
