Lost-Foam Casting vs. Sand Casting: What’s the difference
Lost-Foam Casting Sand Casting Pattern Material · Uses expanded polystyrene (foam), which evaporates during metal pouring. · Uses a solid reusable pattern made of wood, plastic, or metal. Mold Type · Unbonded dry sand supports the foam pattern. · Green sand (a mixture of sand, clay, and water) forms the mold. Pattern Reusability · […]
Metallographic Testing
Metallographic testing, or metallography, is the art and science of preparing, examining, and interpreting the microstructure of metals and alloys. This process is fundamental in materials science for quality control, failure analysis, and research and development. The primary goal is to reveal the internal structure of a material, which directly correlates to its mechanical properties, […]
