Casting is a manufacturing process in which molten metal is poured into a mold to create components of desired shapes and sizes. It is widely used for producing complex geometries that are difficult or costly to achieve through machining. Common casting methods include sand casting, aluminum die casting, and investment casting, each suited to different production needs, materials, and precision levels. Casting supports a wide range of industries such as automotive, aerospace, machinery, and construction by enabling cost-effective mass production as well as customized components.
Step by Step
The Casting Process
Step 1 of 7
Pattern Making
The casting process begins with creating a pattern that defines the shape and dimensions of the final component.
Core Casting Processes
Sand Casting
Best For
Medium to very large components
Typical Capability
Weight up to 3000kg, wide material range
What is Sand Casting?
Sand casting is one of the most versatile and cost-effective metal casting methods, ideal for producing both simple and complex components in small to large sizes. The process involves pouring molten metal into molds made from specially prepared sand, which are broken away after solidification. Sand casting supports a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals and is commonly used for pumps, valves, machinery parts, and heavy equipment components. It is especially valued for low tooling costs and flexibility in custom production.

Material Capabilities for Diverse Industries
Cast Iron
5 materials
Grey Iron
Ductile Iron
White Iron
Ni-Hard
High Chrome Iron
Our cast iron capabilities are engineered for applications that demand durability, wear resistance and costeffective large-scale production. Grey iron is widely used for engine blocks, housings, and machine bases due to its machinability and thermal stability. Ductile iron offers higher strength and impact resistance for automotive, piping, and structural parts. White iron, Ni-Hard, and High Chrome iron grades are ideal for abrasive and high-wear environments such as mining, cement, power, and material handling industries.
Steel
5 materials
Carbon Steel
Stainless Steel
Manganese Steel
Duplex
Super Duplex
We offer a broad range of steel casting solutions designed for strength and corrosion resistance. Carbon steel is preferred for heavy-duty structural and industrial components requiring high load-bearing capacity. Stainless steel provides superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for food processing, marine, and chemical industries. Manganese steel is valued for exceptional wear resistance in crushers and rail components, while Duplex and Super Duplex steels deliver outstanding performance in offshore oil & gas, and aggressive chemical environments.
Non-Ferrous Alloys
3 materials
Aluminum Alloys
Zinc Alloys
Copper Alloys
Our non-ferrous alloy casting capabilities are optimized for lightweight performance, conductivity and premium surface finish. Aluminum alloys are widely used in automotive, aerospace, and electronics for their high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance. Zinc alloys are ideal for die-cast components requiring intricate details, tight tolerances, and decorative finishes. Copper alloys are chosen for excellent thermal and electrical conductivity, corrosion resistance and long-term reliability.
