Advantages of Using Die Casting over Sand Casting

The advantages and benefits of selecting die casting over sand casting (Sand Molded Casting) are listed below.

1. The die casting process requires less floor space in comparison to the sand casting process.
2. Die-casting helps provide precision dimensional control, resulting in a subsequent reduction in machining costs.
3. Die casting provides a greater surface finish compared to sand casting.
4. Thin sections of complex shapes can be produced efficiently using the die casting process.
5. The true shape can be created with close tolerance in die casting.
6. Casting shapes produced by die casting are usually less defective.
7. Using the die-casting process, parts can be produced very quickly.
8. It produces more sound casting than sand casting.
9. Its rate of production is as high as 800 castings/hour.
