How does a stainless steel casting factory confirm the cost of castings?

1. Verify that the casting can be produced. Stainless steel casting plants need to check whether they can produce rough castings using a sand casting process, some may use green sand, some may use resin sand, or shell casting, or an automated forming process. Green sand is cheaper and shell casting is the most expensive. Relevant factors include dimensional tolerances, surface quality, structural complexity, annual requirements, weight and dimensions, etc. These factors will affect the cost of the rough casting. Of course, if these processes cannot meet the requirements, then the stainless steel casting factory will not be able to produce.

2. Confirm whether the processing requirements can be met. For normal machining works, most stainless steel foundries with machining capabilities will be able to machine them in-house. Otherwise, they will have to entrust other professional workshops to do the processing, which is not a good choice since the cooperation of stainless steel casting plants and workshops may cause more difficulties and Stainless Steel Silica Sol Casting Customization Pipe Fittings Casting Parts delays in delivery. Processing costs are difficult to calculate because quotations need to take into account related processing equipment, working hours and prices. In addition, the annual demand is also an important factor affecting the processing cost.

3. Consider other costs. Other costs include packaging, surface preparation, painting, inland and sea freight, and, of course, exchange rates. These costs will be related to the specific needs of the customer.
