    Sand casting is a process that uses sand to form mold. The type of sand that is used for steel parts casting is different from the type of sand used for other types of castings.

    The sand needs to be very clean and free of any foreign objects. It also needs to be a consistent size so that the molds will be accurate. Steel parts casting requires very fine grain sand that is able to withstand the high temperatures of the molten metal.
