Basic sand casting is a metal casting process where molten metal is poured into a sand mould made using a pattern. After the metal solidifies, the sand mould is broken to remove the casting, which is then cleaned and finished.
It is a simple and low-cost method used to produce metal parts of different sizes. The process includes pattern making, mould preparation, pouring molten metal, cooling, and finishing. Sand casting is widely used in manufacturing industries for producing machine and engineering components.
