Capability
Sand Casting
Sand casting suits larger cast iron and steel parts where tooling cost must stay low and tolerances are less critical than investment or die casting. Partform coordinates sand casting production in Qingdao partner foundries for New Zealand and Australian engineering buyers who need a clear drawing-to-part supply route.
- •Green sand and resin sand processes for ferrous castings
- •Cast iron, cast steel, and alloy options with heat treatment
- •Machining and finishing of mating surfaces after cast
- •Prototype and repeat production with pattern reuse
Common applications
Pump housings, valve bodies, machine bases, agricultural cast brackets, and industrial equipment frames are frequently quoted as sand castings when part weight and tooling economics favour a sand mould route.
Quality and inspection
Partner facilities operate under ISO 9001–capable systems. Dimensional reports, material certificates, and sample approval before production can be arranged when your programme requires them.
Frequently asked questions
When should I choose sand casting over investment casting?
Sand casting is usually better for larger, heavier ferrous parts and moderate volumes where fine surface detail is less critical. Investment casting suits smaller complex parts with tighter as-cast tolerances.
Are sand cast parts made in New Zealand?
No. Sand casting is performed in Qingdao, China partner facilities. Partform provides New Zealand–based supply coordination and English documentation.
What drawing do you need for a sand casting quote?
PDF with wall thickness, draft angles, and machining allowances marked, plus material grade, quantity, and any NDT or inspection requirements.
