Revolutionizing Foundries by Kewei Casting Machinery
At Kewei Casting Machinery, we are committed to advancing casting technologies to meet the demands of modern industries. One of our flagship offerings is Lost Foam Casting Machinery, designed to deliver precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This article explores the process, benefits, and applications of lost foam casting, showcasing why Kewei is the trusted partner for cutting-edge foundry solutions.
What is Lost Foam Casting?
Lost foam casting is an innovative casting process where an expendable polystyrene foam pattern is used to form a mold. The foam pattern is coated with refractory material, surrounded by sand, and vaporized during metal pouring, creating a precise cavity for casting.
This method is favored for its ability to produce intricate and high-quality components with minimal finishing, making it a popular choice across various industries.
How Does Kewei Lost Foam Casting Work?
Our integrates advanced technology to streamline the process:
- Pattern Production: Foam patterns are created using precision molding equipment for consistent quality.
- Coating Application: Patterns are coated with a refractory material to ensure smooth surface finishing and prevent metal defects.
- Compaction and Molding: Coated patterns are placed in a mold box filled with unbonded sand, which is compacted around the pattern for stability.
- Metal Pouring and Casting: When molten metal is poured, the foam pattern vaporizes, forming the desired casting shape with exceptional detail.
