Cast Parts in China

Lead times generally range from 3-5 weeks for new tooling and 2-4 weeks for repeat orders, including mold setup, casting, machining, and finishing. The precise lead time will be clearly stated on your quotation.

Quotations usually cover tooling, materials, casting, machining, and surface finishing. A single detailed RFQ lets verified foundries submit side-by-side quotes, helping you compare total landed costs before production approval.

Many foundries can perform chemical analysis, dimensional checks, and NDT inspections such as X-ray or ultrasonic testing. For any requirements, please specify in your sourcing request.

Submitting one RFQ enables verified suppliers to provide itemized quotes - covering cost, lead time - so you can easily compare and select the best offer.

Cast parts are components made by pouring molten metal into a mold and allowing it to solidify. Common casting routes include sand casting, investment casting, die casting, permanent mold casting, and lost foam casting. Haizol's cast parts directory connects the casting process to factory capability.

Cast parts are made by choosing a casting route, preparing a mold or pattern, pouring molten alloy, cooling, cleaning, then machining or finishing if required. Haizol's cast parts directory connects that workflow to factory listings, so requests should include the 3D model, alloy, casting route, machining allowance, tolerances, inspection, and finish.

Useful casting terms include draft, shrinkage, gating, riser, porosity, machining allowance, heat treatment, and surface finish. Stating these requirements helps factories assess tooling, defect risk, post-machining work, and whether sand casting, investment casting, or die casting fits.

For cast parts, companies can use Haizol to upload the design file and define casting route, alloy, tolerance, finish, quantity, inspection, and machining allowance in special requirements. The directory helps shortlist Chinese foundries and machining partners by process experience, tooling support, defect control, and post-machining capability.

Sand casting often fits larger or lower-volume parts, investment casting fits detailed shapes and smoother surfaces, and die casting fits high-volume non-ferrous parts. The better route depends on alloy, geometry, tolerance, volume, tooling budget, and inspection requirements.
