Every casting will corrode when it comes in contact with moisture, salt, and other aggressive environments. If and how fast a casting will rust will depend on the base material and the environment. If the casting is made from unprotected cast iron, carbon steel, or rustable aluminium it will rust in humid or salt rich environments, gaining oxidatio
Could there be “gas holes or sand holes” inside the castings?
Porosity and sand inclusions are common internal defects that can compromise the performance, fatigue life, and reliability of metal castings. Understanding why these defects form and how to prevent them is essential for achieving consistent quality in production. Causes of Porosity Porosity in castings is typically caused by gases escaping f
