Advantages and disadvantages of casting

advantage:

1. It can produce rough parts with complex shapes;

2. Castings have a wide range of applications and are not limited by size, shape, and weight;

3. Low casting production cost;

4. The machining allowance is few, which can reduce the processing cost.

Disadvantages:

1. The casting structure is not dense enough, there are defects such as shrinkage holes, pores, slag, cracks, etc., the grain size is uneven, the mechanical properties of the castings are low, and the impact resistance is low;

2. There are many casting production processes, the process control is cumbersome, and it is easy to produce waste products.
