advantages
1.Casting Hole
In other types of casting methods, casting holes can be obtained through sand cores or by machining (e.g. drilling). For each casting, whether the casting hole has its corresponding characteristics, but in general, the casting hole reduces the cost of subsequent machining. Through special mold design such as the use of pins. The mandrel or other mechanism can make the casting hole directly on the mold.
2. Reduce The Processing Allowance
The correct EPC mold design can reduce the weight of the casting by reducing the inclination of the die and the machining allowance. This flexible design is not possible in many other casting methods. It is one of the biggest advantages of the EPC process.
3. Eliminate Complex And Expensive Cores
EPC process eliminates the indispensable sand core in ordinary sand casting. The fixed and movable movable blocks in the EPC mold form a similar shape to the sand core in the foam model, that is, the shape in the casting.
Movement characteristics:
Moving mold (dynamic half)
Fixed mold (stationary half)
Geometric configuration:
Female die (concave cavity)
Male die (convex core)
Lost foam molds are constructed from aluminum alloy and feature custom-designed configurations tailored to specific product architectures.
