Casting. The Right Process.
The Right Process for Every Geometry. Amsol supports multiple casting routes — sand casting, investment casting, shell mould casting, aluminium die casting, steel casting, and ductile iron casting — so OEMs do not need to force every component into one process. The drawing decides the process. Not habit. Not convenience.
From Drawing to Finished Casting — 6 Steps
Every casting begins with process selection. Amsol reviews geometry, weight, material, tolerance, volume, tooling, finishing, machining, and inspection before committing to the right route.

Casting Routes for Different Geometries, Materials, and Volumes
Amsol recommends casting routes based on engineering fit, not process habit. Large heavy parts, detailed stainless parts, cleaner ferrous castings, and lightweight aluminium housings each need a different route.
Large housings · frames · pump bodies

Casting Materials Amsol Supports
Material selection depends on load, corrosion exposure, machining requirement, pressure duty, weight target, surface finish, and cost direction.
| Material / Grade Family | Use | Strength |
|---|---|---|
| Grey Iron / Cast Iron | Housings, covers, machine bases | Cost-effective, machinable, vibration damping |
| SG Iron / Ductile Iron | Brackets, load-bearing housings, infrastructure parts | Better ductility and strength than grey iron |
| Carbon Steel / Alloy Steel | Structural, pressure, mining, railway, and heavy-duty parts | Strong, heat-treatable, durable |
| Stainless Steel / CF8M / SS316 | Pump, valve, marine, oil & gas, earthing parts | Corrosion resistance and process-fluid compatibility |
| Aluminium A380 / ADC12 / LM Series | Lightweight housings, enclosures, brackets | High-volume, lightweight, thin-wall production |
Which Casting Process Should You Choose?
Casting process selection affects tooling cost, machining stock, surface finish, strength, lead time, and repeatability. Amsol reviews the drawing before recommending a route.
| Choose This Route | When It Fits | Typical Decision Driver |
|---|---|---|
| Sand Casting | Large size, lower tooling cost, heavy parts, ferrous grades, or complex cores are required. | Size + cost |
| Investment Casting | Fine detail, stainless steel, smooth finish, and complex geometry matter. | Detail + finish |
| Shell Mould Casting | You need better finish than sand casting but lower cost than investment casting. | Finish + cost balance |
| Aluminium Die Casting | The part needs lightweight, high-volume, thin-wall, and repeatable dimensional control. | Volume + thin wall |
| Steel Casting | The part needs strength, wear resistance, pressure duty, or structural load capacity. | Strength + duty |

Where Amsol Castings Go
Casting routes support OEM components across automotive, pumps, oil & gas, energy, infrastructure, mining, and machinery sectors.
Every Casting Route Verified Through Material, Dimensional, Surface, Heat Treatment, and Batch Documentation.
Casting quality depends on selecting the right process and verifying the final component through chemical, dimensional, mechanical, surface, and documentation checks.
