Step 8: Finished Castings

Picture
Once the parts are removed from the sprue, and the gates removed, the surface can be finished via a number of means
  • Vibratory/Media finishing
  • Belting or hand grinding
  • Polishing
Finishing can be done by hand, but in many cases it is automated. Parts are then inspected, marked (if required), packaged and shipped. Depending on the application, the parts can be used in their “net shape” or undergo machining for precision mating surfaces.
