CastCheckMaterials and processes
Cast iron is not covered
It does not analyze cast iron and does not force out numbers for it. Sand mold is covered excluding cast iron.
Casting processes (4)
- Lost wax (the main use case, hand pouring)
- Sand mold (excluding cast iron)
- Gravity die
- Plaster mold
Alloys (20)
Choose in two steps: metal → alloy.
| Metal | Alloy |
|---|---|
| Aluminum | AC4C, AC4CH, A356, A357, AC4B, ADC12, AC2A, AC2B, AC7A |
| Stainless | SUS304, SUS316, SUS430, SUS410, SUS630 |
| Carbon steel | SC450, SC480, SCW480, S45C equivalent, S35C equivalent, SS400 equivalent |
- ADC12 is covered only when poured by gravity (high-pressure die casting is out of scope). It is originally a die-casting alloy.
- S45C, S35C and SS400 are wrought-material standards, so they are listed as “equivalent”.
