Casting is pouring molten liquid into a mold where it is subsequently allowed to cool & solidify before ejection for use. Casting is used for producing parts to near-net (i.e. near-final) shape. The molds can range from very cheap sand molds to elaborately machined chromium-steel molds costing well into the 6 figure range. Since molten metal is poured into the mold, the final shape can be quite intricate and can contain both external and internal (i.e. hollow) features. Due to the fact that almost all metals shrink when cooled, the mold design can be a complex undertaking and the final surface finish and feature tolerances are typically low (i.e. casting produces rough surfaces and tolerances in range of ±0.060”). However, important features can be finish-machined after the casting is removed from the mold. The casting process is used for complex (i.e. hollow parts or parts with lots of complex contours) low volume parts as well as high volume production.
Forging
Forging is the repeated deformation of heated solid metal to refine the grain structure and improve part strength without adversely affecting the material’s ductility. Forging produces the strongest metals used in industry today. Forging is used for both low and high volume part production.
ABOUT KEVA
Keva Casting is a professional casting company that focuses on Construction, Machinery, Automobile, Hardware, Pipeline and many other industries.
We provide top quality products with the best service based on our complete production chain including our own mold design, advanced production techniques, and full management of the supply chain. Keva Casting has two factories located in Zhucheng, China's Shandong province.
We use "shell molding", which is a new technique that has been developed in recent years.This new technique has simplified production procedures and reduced air pollution compared with traditional sand casting and investment casting. Shell making and core making are faster to ensure production in enormous quantities. The dimensions and surface finishing are satisfactory for all kinds of industrial requirements. Besides supplying our own formwork & scaffolding systems, our casting products also supply OEM services in various industries.
