Manufacturing blanks is a critical stage in producing any metal product. Each industry uses its own types of blanks. As Russian machine-building, construction, and energy sectors develop, the need for blanks manufactured accurately to match finished parts is increasing, helping to significantly shorten production times.
Steel blanks are manufactured mainly by casting. Minimal metal loss, high dimensional accuracy and surface quality, and lower machining costs make casting the simplest, most economical, and most widely used method for manufacturing metal products. The process consists of several stages and begins with preparing technical documentation and making molds for casting blanks.
The casting method and mold type are selected based on the material, its technological and mechanical properties, the dimensions and configuration of the parts, batch size, and the required surface quality and dimensional accuracy.
