In the world of industrial manufacturing, metal casting and metal forging are two of the most used processes to produce durable and high performance parts. While both processes aim to convert raw metal into functional parts, they differ in methodology, mechanical properties and cost.
Understanding these differences helps engineers, manufacturers and procurement teams to make the right choice for their applications.
What is Metal Casting?
Metal casting is the process of melting metal and pouring it into a mold where it cools and solidifies into the required shape. This has been around for centuries and is still widely used for its versatility and flexibility.
Metal Casting Advantages:
- Complex Geometries: Perfect for producing complex shapes and internal cavities that are hard to achieve through forging.
- Material Versatility: Compatible with many alloys including aluminum, steel and brass.
- Cost-Effective for Complexity: More economical for large complex parts.
- Size Flexibility: Suitable for parts from very small to very large.
