The expert route to sourcing in Asia.
Cast Products Available from China.
Every form of casting is available in China, in various materials, both ferrous and non-ferrous. Most foundries have spectrometer analysis and NDT inspection as well as the traditional inspection methods. Recent years have seen the investment and establishment of extremely modern foundries with equipment purchased from Japan, Germany and the USA. Some of the processes available are:-
Sand Casting:- Green Sand, Resin Sand, Shell and floor casting, utilising both wooden and aluminium tooling. Up to 20 Tonnes in Steel and Iron. Automatic casting lines.
Investment Casting:- Lost Wax and Lost Foam utilising high temperature and low temperature wax and aluminium tooling. Up to 65 kg in Steel and Stainless Steel. Automatic casting lines.
Die Casting:- High pressure, Low pressure and gravity in Zinc and aluminium. Up to 20 kg.
The standard of casting in China is extremely high and very competitive, it is possible that products or components which have been traditionally fabricated in the UK could benefit from a redesign and produced using one of the methods described above. Raw castings can be pre-machined in China to eradicate any 'hidden defects' and enable easier set-up in the UK machine shop, using pre determined datums, saving further time and money.
