CastExpo returns to the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta from April 12-15, 2025, and US Aluminum Castings is honored to sponsor this year’s Foundry-In-A-Box!
Join us at the event hub for a hands-on, interactive experience focused on metal casting. Participants will receive detailed, step-by-step guidance to explore Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) principles, while gaining insight into exciting career opportunities within the metal casting industry.
This year, we’re diving into the fundamentals of sand casting—one of the most widely used methods for creating complex metal parts. In this session, you’ll learn how to:
Prepare the Sand Mold: Understand the sand for your casting and how to achieve the optimal consistency for molding.
Pattern Making: Learn the process of creating a pattern that represents the final shape of your casting.
Core Making: Discover how cores are used in sand casting to create internal cavities within a part.
Pouring the Metal: Get hands-on experience with pouring metal into molds, ensuring safe practices and proper temperature control to prevent defects.
Finishing and Inspection: Learn how to remove the casting from the mold, clean up the part, and inspect it for defects like cracks, porosity, or dimensional errors, ensuring a high-quality end product.
As a bonus, you’ll take home a unique casted piece as a reminder of the experience from US Aluminum Castings!
We look forward to seeing everyone at this year’s event. For more information about the event and US Aluminum Castings, visit:
