Almold's sow moulds are available in a variety of different sizes, from 800 pounds to 2,000 pounds of capacity, and can be customized to meet different production line needs and bring more economic benefits.
The working principle of sow moulds in casting:
Sow moulds usually used for large-scale casting production, so it can be widely used in the production of aluminum ingots and mechanical parts. So how do castings made using sow moulds work?
◆ Sow mould is usually made of ASTM A27 Grade 65-35 high temperature resistant material because it has to withstand liquid aluminum at about 750℃ for a long time. And the inside is usually a smooth surface to ensure the quality of the casting.
◆ Pour the molten aluminum liquid into sow moulds, which can be poured uniformly. After cooling and solidification, aluminum ingots or required castings can be formed.
◆ After complete cooling and curing, the casting can be removed, and then the surface treatment and processing can be carried out to achieve the required casting specifications.
The use of sow moulds can guarantee the specification and quality of castings, provide versatile usability and complex parts production, and is the best choice in manufacturing.
What metals can be cast with sow moulds?
Due to its high temperature resistance, Sow mould can be used in copper, aluminum, iron, alloy, steel and other metal casting.
◢ Copper has a relatively low melting point, which prevents rupture during pouring and solidification, and can be quickly cooled to form.
◢ The low melting point and fluidity of aluminum and magnesium alloys make the casting more accurate.
◢ When casting iron and steel, the sow moulds must be preheated to prevent the high melting point from causing mold cracking.
In short, sow mould is a multi-functional mold that can bring many benefits to enterprises. While improving smelter process procedures, sow moulds can effectively improve production efficiency and output, and reduce material waste and defective product rate.
