5. Professional FAQ - Key Technical Terms Explained

Q1: What is the principal advantage of aluminium sand casting compared to die casting?
Answer: Aluminium sand casting provides greater flexibility in casting very large and complex parts, and can accommodate low to medium production runs. It also accepts a greater range of alloy compositions and modification in design without expensive tooling.
Q2: How are stainless steel casting and aluminium casting different in terms of corrosion resistance?
Answer: Stainless steel casting delivers superior corrosion resistance due to high chromium and nickel content. Aluminium alloys are also corrosion resistant owing to passivation layers but are typically less so than high-grade stainless steel in acidic/chloride environments.
Q3: What does "green sand metal casting" mean?
Answer: Green sand refers to molding sand mixed with water, clay, and organic materials, used in metal casting due to its high reusability and cost-effectiveness. It enables production of intricate shapes with low tooling investment.
Q4: What are standard mechanical properties for aluminium sand casting alloys used in automotive?
Answer: Common alloys (e.g., A356, 6061) exhibit tensile strength of 180–270 MPa, yield strength of 75–158 MPa, elongation 5–12%, and hardness of 50–100 HB, depending on heat treatment.
Q5: What international standards govern aluminium castings’ dimensional tolerances?
Answer: EN ISO 8062 and ASTM B26 are widely recognized. They define tolerance grades (CT8–CT12 for sand casting), governing deviations based on part size and geometry.
Q6: What does "minimum wall thickness" signify and why is it important?
Answer: It's the thinnest section that can be cast reliably, influencing both cost and structural performance. Aluminium sand casting typically allows wall thicknesses down to 3.5 mm; thinner walls require die casting alternatives.
Q7: What types of non-destructive testing (NDT) are recommended for structural aluminum casting die parts?
Answer: Ultrasonic, X-ray radiography, dye penetrant, and visual inspections validate internal structure, ensuring aerospace and automotive parts meet global safety criteria.
