MANUFACTURING SERVICES : CASTINGS

At SANDMARK, we appreciate challenging casting jobs. Whether it is steel, SG iron, aluminum, brass, or ceramics, we can offer you castings at world-class quality, price competitiveness and lead-times.

Unlike machining or fabrication, casting is a complex operation that requires tight process control, knowledge of chemistry, and complicated metrology infrastructures. Most importantly, the product designer needs to have intrinsic understanding of each vendor’s casting capability and processes. Nowhere else is ‘Design for Manufacturing’ more meaningful. With our deep knowledgebase, our experts can establish a close partnership with your design team, allowing you to produce highly reliable castings for the least possible cost.

We maintain strategic relationship with a number of world-class foundries in India, allowing us to supply castings of a variety of materials, sizes, complexity and finishes. We offer the full range of casting processes, including:

Sand Casting

Shell Casting

Permanent Mold Casting

Gravity Die Casting

Pressure Die Casting

Investment Casting

Each method above will determine the characteristics of the resulting products: surface finish, dimensional tolerance (as cast), size range, minimum wall thickness, draft angles, minimum wall thickness and radii. Our castings experts will work with you determine the appropriate methods that will deliver the most appropriate product quality for the lowest possible cost.

NON-DESTRUCTIVE TESTING

We perform a variety of non-destructive tests on the castings we supply to you. The selection of the types of tests, the sampling size and frequency, and inspection plan depends on the type of casting being produced, its intended application, its functional specification, production volume, cost implications, and selected process. We will work with you to determine the optimal metrology plan for your production orders.

Our testing sources are certified for performing the following tests:

All tests strictly follow the guidelines set by ASNT (American Society for Nondestructive Testing); global trace-back will be supplied upon request.
