jtrmachine.com provides services for custom Metal Casting. We offer sand casting, precision casting, and die casting methods. No matter what casting method your project requires, our factories consistently deliver high quality cast metal products that meet or exceed expectations.
JTR Metal casting serviceoccurs when molten metal is poured, or injected into a custom-made mold. After the metal cools and hardens the finalized metal part shape is then ready to be finished. This can be accomplished through additional machining, and other processing techniques that are used to achieve desired tolerances and finishes.
Metal Casting AdvantagesMetal casting is not always the preferred method for creating parts, some of the disadvantages include:
· Accepts higher tolerances for more detailed part designs
· Creates closer to net-shape parts that require less secondary machining/processing
· Nearly always lighter than otherwise-identical forged parts
· Easier and less time-consuming modification of part designs and accompanying molds
Metal Casting DisadvantagesMetal casting is not always the preferred method for creating parts, some of the disadvantages include:
· Often exhibit more surface porosity than forged parts and may contain unintentional voids
· Not as tough as forged parts (cannot withstand as much pressure or frequency of impact)
· Requires more operator monitoring and interaction to maintain quality and prevent defects
